EPA finalized a rule eliminating the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding and federal GHG emission standards for vehicles and engines, saving Americans over $1.3 trillion.
President Donald Trump and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced February 12 that EPA finalized a rule eliminating the 2009 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Endangerment Finding and subsequent federal GHG emission standards for vehicles and engines.
EPA said the rule eliminates the Obama-era Endangerment Finding and “all subsequent federal GHG emission standards for all vehicles and engines of model years 2012 to 2027 and beyond.” The agency also eliminated “all off-cycle credits, including for the almost universally hated start-stop feature.”
EPA stated the final rule will save Americans “over $1.3 trillion” by removing regulatory requirements to measure, report, certify, and comply with federal GHG emission standards for motor vehicles and by repealing associated compliance programs and credit provisions. EPA said the action will result in “an average cost savings of over $2,400 per vehicle.”
