SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Environmental Protection Agency EPA
is proposing to revise the greenhouse gas GHG emissions standards for lightduty vehicles for 2023 and later model years to make the standards more stringent. On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 13990 Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science To Tackle the Climate Crisis directing EPA to consider whether to propose suspending, revising, or rescinding the standards previously revised under the The Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient SAFE Vehicles Rule for Model Years 20212026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks, promulgated in April 2020.
The SAFE rule significantly weakened the standards established in 2012 for this time period. Based on our updated assessment, EPA is proposing under the Clean Air Act to revise the GHG
standards to be more stringent than the SAFE rule standards in each model year from 2023 through 2026. EPA is also proposing to include several flexibilities to ease the auto manufacturers transition to the more stringent standards, including incentives for the production of vehicles with zero or near-zero emissions technology. In addition, EPA is proposing some technical amendments to clarify and streamline our regulations. The proposed revised standards would result in significant net benefits.
