EPA proposes new GHG standards. Comment period August 25th. To register to attend the hearing (to testify or listen-only), please email ASD-Registration@epa.gov by August 18, 2021.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to strengthen federal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks by setting stringent requirements for reductions through Model Year (MY) 2026. The proposed 2023-2026 MY standards would achieve significant GHG emissions reductions along with reductions in other pollutants. The proposal would result in substantial public health and welfare benefits, while providing consumers with savings from lower fuel costs. The proposal would incentivize technology available today to make vehicles cleaner and to encourage more hybrid and electric vehicle technology.

EPA will hold a virtual public hearing on this proposal on August 25, 2021. A possible additional session will be held on August 26th if necessary to accommodate all those who wish to testify.
