I forgot to include "rules" in the brackets. Although this is vital for correct understanding! So:
" ... the agency put (the price tag of its proposed climate-related car rules) at USD 60 billion ..."
It is about the cost of implementing car rules. These costs are estimated at (put at) USD 60 billion.
