| Abstract |
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are issuing a joint Notice of Final Rulemaking (FRM) to establish standards for light-duty highway vehicles that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and improve fuel economy. EPA is issuing greenhouse gas emissions standards under the Clean Air Act, and NHTSA is issuing Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended. These standards apply to passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles, covering model years (MY) 2017 through 2025. The standards will require these vehicles to meet an estimated combined average emissions level of 163 grams of CO2 per mile in MY 2025 under EPAs GHG program. These standards are designed such that compliance can be achieved with a single national vehicle fleet whose emissions and fuel economy performance improves year over year. The National Program will result in approximately 2 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalent emission reductions and approximately 4 billion barrels of oil savings over the lifetime of vehicles sold in model years 2017 through 2025. Mobile sources are significant contributors to air pollutant emissions (both GHG and non-GHG) across the country, internationally, and into the future. The Agency has determined that these emissions cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, and is therefore establishing standards to control these emissions as required by section 202 (a) of the Clean Air Act.A The health- and environmentally-related effects associated with these emissions are a classic example of an externality-related market failure. An externality occurs when one party's actions impose uncompensated costs on another party. EPAs final rule will deliver additional environmental and energy benefits, as well as cost savings, on a nationwide basis that would likely not be available if the rule were not in place. |
