ABSTRACT - Environmental Protection Agency proposes rules that would deeply cut soot, sulfur and smog-forming polluion from diesel engines in construction, farm and other industrial equipment; rules would phase in over 10 years both cleanup of high-sulfur diesel fuel and far stricter emission controls on engines; Bush administration says shift would cost about $1.5 billion a year, which would be more than offset by savings of some $16 billion to $80 billion a year from prolonged lives and avoided health-care costs; Admr Christie Whitman holds threat to public health is clear and costs justified; environmentalists laud proposals, which get muted support from affected industry groups; graphs (M) The Bush administration proposed rules yesterday that would deeply cut the soot, sulfur and smog-forming pollution from diesel engines in construction, farm and other industrial equipment.

Over the next decade, the proposed rules would phase in both a cleanup of the high-sulfur diesel fuel consumed by such engines and far stricter requirements for emissions controls on the engines themselves.
