"Car Rules: Leaked Draft: Trump Emissions Plan Fails Agency Price Test"

"The Trump administration has failed to correct major errors in its rollback of clean car standards, leaving the proposal vulnerable to legal challenges, according to a draft of the proposal obtained by Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and shared with E&E News.

At issue is the Safer Affordable Fuel Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles rule, a joint effort between EPA and the Department of Transportation aimed at weakening vehicle greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards.

Carper, the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, obtained a leaked version of the final rule, which is under review at the White House Office of Management and Budget and could be released as soon as today.

Carper's office shared details of the leaked version with E&E News and cautioned that the document is one or two weeks old and subject to change."
