⇧ GHG emissions and interstate highways. Passed 53-47, a resolution (S.J. Res. 61) to disapprove of and void a Federal Highway Administration (FHA) rule requiring state regulators to set reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide from vehicles traveling on their state’s portion of the National Highway System. Resolution sponsor Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., called the rule a Biden administration effort to circumvent Congress’ action to deny such regulatory authority to the FHA, and said overturning it in Congress would avert “the gross expense of litigating this demonstration of bureaucratic arrogance.” Opponent Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., said: The FHA rule was essential because “it is simply not possible to meet our climate goals without addressing emissions from the transportation sector.”
