The Justice Department plans to drop a $3 million financial requirement that motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson had to pay for emissions violations under the Obama administration.
Harley-Davidson was required to pay the money to make up for its environmental violations by funding programs that help reduce air pollution.
The company had agreed to pay a $12 million fine, in addition to the $3 million, to settle Environmental Protection Agency claims that 340,000 of its motorcycles emitted pollution at rates that exceeded federal standards.
