Abstract: EPA and NHTSA are issuing this joint proposal to establish a National Program consisting of new standards for light-duty vehicles that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy. This joint proposed rulemaking is consistent with the National Fuel Efficiency Policy announced by President Obama on May 19, 2009, responding to the country’s critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. EPA is proposing greenhouse gas emissions standards under the Clean Air Act, and NHTSA is proposing Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended. These standards apply to passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles, covering model years 2012 through 2016, and represent a harmonized and consistent National Program. Under the National Program, automobile manufacturers would be able to build a single light-duty national fleet that satisfies all requirements under both programs while ensuring that consumers still have a full range of vehicle choices.

Emergency Justfication: Pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established at 5 CFR Part 1320, Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public, I ask that the following collection of information, “49 CFR Parts 531 and 533, Passenger Car Average Fuel Economy Standards and Light Truck Fuel Economy Standards; Product Plan Data,” be processed pursuant to section 1320.13, Emergency processing. I have determined that this information must be collected prior to the expiration of time periods established under Part 1320, and that this information is essential to NHTSA’s mission to establish Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for passenger cars and light trucks at the maximum feasible level for each of model years 2012 through 2016 for passenger cars and light trucks, no later than 18 months before the start of the model year regulated. NHTSA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to cause NHTSA to miss a statutory deadline established in the Energy Independence and Security Act. Please approve or disapprove the collection of information within a week. As you are aware, NHTSA has taken all practicable steps to consult with the Department of Energy, EPA, other agencies, and members of the public in order to minimize the burden of this collection of information. Attached is a draft FEDERAL REGISTER notice in which NHTSA states it is asking for emergency processing of this collection of information within a week. Sincerely yours, Julie Abraham Director Office of International Policy, Fuel Economy, and Consumer Programs
