Title: Fuel Economy Regulations for Automobiles: Technical Amendments and Corrections
Abstract: This action amends and corrects portions of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) existing fuel economy regulations, located at 40 CFR part 600. There are two reasons for this action. First, some minor corrections and amendments are needed to correct portions of EPA's final rule for fuel economy labeling requirements for cars and light trucks (71 FR 77872, December 27, 2006). Second, the Department of Transportation finalized new average fuel economy standards for light trucks on April 6, 2006 (71 FR 77 872). This rule amended the existing DOT regulations at 49 CFR part 523,533, and 537, by adding new definitions, setting new fuel economy standards for light trucks, and amending some reporting requirements. In order for DOT to execute its new requirements, DOT's regulations rely on EPA to reference the new definitions and collect the new information from automobile manufacturers. This action will accomplish those tasks. These changes do not change the existing EPA test procedures or calculation methods for average fuel economy.
