khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2

H. Executive Order 13211: Energy Effects This action is not a significant energy action because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy.
EPA has outlined the energy effects in Table 57 of the Regulatory Impact Analysis RIA, which is available in the docket for this action and is briefly summarized here.
This action reduces CO2 for passenger cars and light trucks under revised GHG
standards, which will result in significant reductions of the consumption of petroleum, will achieve energy security benefits, and have no adverse energy effects. Because the GHG
emission standards result in significant fuel savings, this rule encourages more efficient use of fuels. Table 510 in the RIA shows over 360 billion gallons of retail gasoline reduced through 2050 or nearly seven billion barrels of oil reduced through 2050.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act and 1 CFR Part 51
This rulemaking involves technical standards. The Agency conducted a search to identify potentially applicable voluntary consensus standards. For CO2
emissions, we identified no such standards and none were identified in comments; EPA is therefore collecting data over the same tests that are used for the current CO2 standards and for the CAFE program. This will minimize the amount of testing done by manufacturers, since manufacturers are already required to run these tests. For A/C credits, EPA is using the test specified in 40 CFR 1066.845. EPA
knows of no voluntary consensus standard for the A/C test and none were identified in comments.
In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are incorporating by reference the use of a test method from SAE International, specifically SAE
J1711, Recommended Practice for Measuring the Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Economy of Hybrid-Electric Vehicles, Including Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles, Revised June 2010. The Recommended Practice establishes uniform chassis dynamometer test procedures for hybrid electric vehicles to allow for measuring and calculating exhaust emissions and fuel economy when vehicles drive over specified duty cycles. We adopted regulatory requirements in an earlier rulemaking, but did not complete all the steps necessary to formally incorporate this

test method by reference into the EPA
regulation. The referenced test method may be obtained through the SAE
International website www.sae.org or by calling SAE at 877 6067323 U.S.
and Canada or 724 7764970 outside the U.S. and Canada.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations For this final action, EPA is only able to qualitatively evaluate the extent to which this action may result in disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority populations, low income populations, and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order 12898
59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994. With respect to GHG emissions, EPA has determined that this rule will benefit all U.S. populations, including communities of color, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples.
While this final rule will substantially reduce GHG emissions, future impacts of climate change are still expected in the baseline and will likely be unevenly distributed in ways that uniquely impact these communities. EPA has not quantitatively assessed these effects.
For non-GHG pollutants, EPA has concluded that it is not practicable given the timing of this final action to determine the extent to which effects on communities of color, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples are differentially distributed. We expect this final rule will result in both small reductions and small increases of nonGHG emissions that could impact communities with EJ concerns in the near term, though not necessarily immediately and not equally in all locations. It was not practicable to develop the air quality information needed to perform a quantified analysis of the distribution of such non-GHG
impacts. EPA intends to initiate a future rule to further reduce emissions of GHGs and criteria and toxic pollutants from light-duty vehicles for model years beyond 2026. We are considering how to project air quality impacts from the changes in non-GHG emissions for that future rulemaking see Section V.C of this preamble. Section VII.L of this preamble describes how we considered environmental justice in this action.
K. Congressional Review Act CRA
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is a major rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 8042.

L. Judicial Review This final action is nationally applicable within the meaning of CAA
section 307b1 because it is expressly listed in the section i.e., any standard under section 202 of this title. Under section 307b1 of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit within 60 days from the date this final action is published in the Federal Register. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final action does not affect the finality of the action for the purposes of judicial review, nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review must be filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action.
IX. Statutory Provisions and Legal Authority Statutory authority for this final rule is found in section 202a which authorizes standards for emissions of pollutants from new motor vehicles which emissions cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, 202d, 203209, 216, and 301
of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7521a, 7521d, 75227525, 75417543, 7550, and 7601.
