EPA Moves Ahead Of DOT In Drafting GHG Standards For Trucks

摘要

EPA has been quietly working on a draft rule to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from medium- and heavy-duty trucks, undertaking a speedier, separate track from the Department of Transportation (DOT) that could merge into a combined rulemaking. EPA is preparing to send a draft rule to White House regulatory reviewers in June for a public release in September, sources say.rnOne informed source says EPA and DOT have already reached a deal whereby EPA will take the lead on what will end up being a single standard, but a trucking industry source says while that is the hope, no deal has yet been reached and both agencies are moving forward.
