Mister Secretary. The state of California has adopted a regulation targeting emissions of locomotives, and they are seeking authorization from EPA to begin enforcing that regulation. The regulation requires that railroads operating in California must quickly begin adopting zero emission technology for locomotives.

If the EPA authorized California's regulation, supply chains across the country would be in danger due to the operational and financial restraints placed on the railroads. (00:13–00:22)
