Rules
- Revisions and Additions to Motor Vehicle Fuel Economy Label. 49 CFR Part 575
[EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–0865; FRL–9315–1; NHTSA–2010–0087]. Final rule. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are issuing a joint final rule establishing new requirements for the fuel economy and environment label that will be posted on the window sticker of all new automobiles sold in the U.S. The labeling requirements apply for model year 2013 and later vehicles with a voluntary manufacturer option for model year 2012. The labeling requirements apply to
passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium duty passenger vehicles such
as larger sport-utility vehicles and vans. The redesigned label provides expanded
information to American consumers about new vehicle fuel economy and
fuel consumption, greenhouse gas and smog-forming emissions, and projected
fuel costs and savings, and also includes a smartphone interactive code that
permits direct access to additional Web resources. Specific label designs are
provided for gasoline, diesel, ethanol flexible fuel, compressed natural gas,
electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. This
rulemaking is in response to provisions in the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007 that imposed several new labeling requirements and
new advanced-technology vehicles entering the market. NHTSA and EPA
believe that these changes will help consumers to make more informed
vehicle purchase decisions, particularly as the future automotive marketplace
provides more diverse vehicle technologies from which consumers may choose. These new label requirements do not affect the methodologies that EPA uses to generate consumer fuel economy estimates, or the automaker compliance values for NHTSA’s corporate average fuel economy and EPA’s greenhouse gas emissions standards. This action also finalizes a number of technical corrections to EPA’s light-duty greenhouse gas emission standards program. DATES: This final rule is effective on September 6, 2011. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this regulation is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of September 6, 2011. - Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Imperial County Air Pollution Control District, Kern County Air Pollution Control District, and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District. 40 CFR Part 52 [EPA–R09–OAR–2011–0198; FRL–9425–4]. Final rule. EPA is taking direct final
action to approve revisions to the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD), Kern County Air Pollution Control District (KCAPCD), and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from architectural coating operations. We are approving local rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in
1990 (CAA or the Act). DATES: This rule is effective on September 6, 2011 without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by August 5, 2011. If we receive such comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register to notify the public that this direct final rule will not take effect.
