The Honorable Mike Johnson Speaker of the House of Representatives H-232, The Capitol Washington, DC 20510 March 17, 2025 The Honorable John Thune Majority Leader 511 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Hakeem Jeffries Minority Leader 2267 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader 22 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Johnson, Minority Leader Jeffries, Majority Leader Thune, and Minority Leader Schumer: Our organizations represent a wide range of stakeholders in the energy, agricultural, and transportation sectors. Together, we comprise the value chain responsible for the production, distribution, retail, and use of transportation fuels. Collectively, we employ tens of millions of Americans-from refinery workers to farmers-- to ensure our nation and others around the globe have the fuel needed for our economies to thrive. We strongly support Congress' efforts to protect consumer vehicle choice by using the Congressional Review Act to disapprove these unachievable California vehicle rules, including those that would ban the internal combustion engine, and would harm American economic and national security. In recent years California enacted a series of rules, adopted by other states, that mandate the rapid electrification of the transportation sector, including the Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) and Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) rules, as well as the unachievable Heavy-Duty Omnibus rule. In fact, the ACC II rule bans the sale of new gasoline-powered and traditional hybrid vehicles by 2035. These rules not only inhibit consumer choice but pose a threat to our national security through reliance on unstable and adversarial supply chains. Furthermore, California and states following its rules have a national impact on U.S. vehicle fleet offerings by accounting for more than 30 percent of the light-duty vehicle sales in the country, compelling manufacturers to make and sell certain models and engine technologies and not others. While we support reducing emissions in the transportation sector, forced electrification and unachievable standards are not the only way to accomplish this. In a country as big and diverse as ours, vehicle offerings need to be diverse to meet Americans' wide-ranging transportation needs. Congress has the opportunity to halt California's misguided efforts to tell other Americans what kinds of vehicles they can and cannot buy. We support Administrator Lee Zeldin and the EPA's decision to transmit these rules to Congress due to the profound national impact they will have on all Americans. Congress should decide if such consequential rules are right for the American people and the American economy, not California. We share the goal of affordable, reliable, and cleaner transportation and look forward to continued engagement on policies that are in the best interest of consumers and U.S. energy and economic security.
