Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 29, 2021 / Proposed Rules NHTSA to ensure that the fuel economy imputed to EVs pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
32904 is not set at a level that undermines the overarching statutory goals of energy and fuel conservation.
To be sure, Petitioners believe that producing significant and increasing numbers of EVs should be an available means for automakers to comply with increasingly stringent CAFE standards.
But the relative energy efficiency of EVs compared to ICEVs, coupled with the ongoing shift to increasingly efficient electricity generation from renewable sources, should ensure that baseline EV
CAFE values will compare favorably to leading ICEVs. The statute further provides DOE additional discretion through consideration of factors subject to less precise quantification 69 such as the need of the United States to conserve all forms of energy, and the relative scarcity and value to the Nation of all fuel used to generate electricity 70to adjust that baseline value to a level that will optimize the overall real-world reduction in fuel consumption and achieve the core purpose of EPCAs fueleconomy chapter.
Conclusion For the above reasons, Petitioners ask that DOE grant this petition and initiate a rulemaking process to revise and update the regulations at 10 CFR part 474 for calculating equivalent petroleum-based fuel economy values for EVs. Petitioners thank DOE for its consideration.
Respectfully submitted, Pete Huffman Natural Resources Defense Council.

Notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM.

ACTION:

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive AD
20192205, which applies to all General Electric Company GE CF34
8C model turbofan engines. AD 2019
2205 requires initial and repetitive inspections of the operability bleed valve OBV fuel tubes, OBV bleed air manifold link rod assemblies, and the OBV fuel fittings. AD 20192205 also requires replacement of OBVs or related OBV hardware that fail inspection.
Since the FAA issued AD 20192205, the manufacturer has redesigned the OBV, which terminates the need for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive inspections of the OBV fuel tubes, OBV
bleed air manifold link rod assemblies, and the OBV fuel fittings. This proposed AD would also require replacement of OBVs or related OBV hardware that fail inspection. As a terminating action to the repetitive inspections, this proposed AD would require replacement of certain OBVs installed on GE CF348C
and CF348E model turbofan engines.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 14, 2022.
