在行政长官李泽尔丁的领导下,环保局提议取消“好邻居”规则,允许八个州——阿拉巴马州、亚利桑那州、肯塔基州、明尼苏达州、密西西比州、内华达州、新墨西哥州和田纳西州——在没有联邦监督的情况下管制自己的臭氧污染。
The EPA, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, is proposing to roll back the "good neighbor" rule, allowing eight states—Alabama, Arizona, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, and Tennessee—to regulate their own ozone pollution without federal oversight.
这项行动是继2024年最高法院裁决宣布这项规则无效之后采取的,这项规则要求各州限制跨越国界的污染线。
The move follows a 2024 Supreme Court decision that invalidated the rule, which required states to limit pollution crossing state lines.
