11 U.S. states urge EPA to toughen planned airplane emissions rules
WASHINGTON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - A group of 11 states and the District of Columbia urged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to strengthen the first-ever proposed standards regulating greenhouse gas emissions from airplanes and other aircraft.
The state attorneys general led by California said the EPA emissions rules proposed in July were "entirely insufficient."
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said the "sham proposal to regulate it is the equivalent of doing nothing."
The EPA said in July the proposed requirements would apply to new-type designs as of January 2020 and to in-production airplanes or those with amended type certificates starting in 2028.

路透华盛顿10月19日电-由11个州和哥伦比亚特区组成的一个小组敦促美国环境保护局(EPA)加强首次提出的监管飞机和其他飞机温室气体排放的标准。以加利福尼亚州为首的州总检察长表示，7月份提出的EPA排放规定“完全不够”。加州总检察长泽维尔·贝塞拉(Xavier Becera)表示，“对其进行监管的虚假提议等同于什么都不做。”美国环保署在7月份表示，拟议的要求将从2020年1月起适用于新型设计，并从2028年开始适用于生产中的飞机或修改了型号证书的飞机。(David Shepardson报道)(编辑：Chris Reese)(David.Shepardson@thomsonreurs.com；2028988324；)
