Abstract: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) was amended to include Consumer Information and Consumer Education programs to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards (49 USC § 32908 ). Under EISA, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in consultation with Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is required to develop and implement a program to require manufacturers to label new automobiles sold in the United States with information on vehicle performance on the basis of fuel economy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other emissions over the useful life of a vehicle and to create a rating system for consumers to easily compare fuel economy, GHG and emissions at the point-of-sale. In addition, NHTSA, by rule, must provide direction to manufacturers regarding a permanent and prominent display labeled on automobiles capable of operating on alternative fuels and to ensure that the owner's manuals of vehicles capable of operating on these fuels, including the renewable nature and environmental benefits of using alternative fuels, include information describing capability and benefits of using alternative fuels.
