DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
EPA and NHTSA are announcing the location addresses for the joint public hearings to be held for the ``Proposed Rulemaking to Establish LightDuty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards,'' published in the Federal Register on September 28, 2009. This joint proposed rulemaking is consistent with the National Fuel Efficiency Policy announced by President Obama on May 19, 2009, responding to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. As described in the joint proposed rule, EPA is proposing greenhouse gas emissions standards under the Clean Air Act, and NHTSA is proposing Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended. These standards apply to passenger cars, lightduty trucks, and mediumduty passenger vehicles, covering model years 2012 through 2016, and represent a harmonized and consistent National Program. The joint proposed rule provides the dates, times, cities, instructions and other information for the public hearings and these details have not changed.
