Title: EPA/NHTSA Joint Rulemaking To Establish Light-Duty Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards 
Abstract: EPA plans to set national emissions standards under section 202 (a) of the Clean Air Act to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger cars and light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles, as part of a joint rulemaking with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This joint rulemaking effort was announced by President Obama on May 19, 2009. EPA and NHTSA published a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register on September 28, 2009. The GHG standards would significantly reduce the GHG emissions from these light-duty vehicles. The standards would be phased in beginning with the 2012 model year through model year 2016. The joint final rule is expected to be signed by EPA and NHTSA by March 31, 2010. EPA's final action follows EPA's final findings, published December 15, 2009, that emissions of greenhouse gases may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, and that emissions from new motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines contribute to the atmospheric concentrations of these greenhouse gases and hence to the threat of climate change.
