Control of Air Pollution from New Motor Vehicles: Proposed Heavy-
Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards and Highway Diesel Fuel Sulfur 
Control Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; document availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 2, 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA 
or Agency) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) (see 65 FR 
35430) proposing changes to standards for heavy-duty engines and sulfur 
fuel controls for highway diesel fuel. In the preamble of the June 2, 
2000, NPRM we proposed to apply to heavy-duty highway engines and 
vehicles ``not to exceed'' (NTE) and supplemental steady state test 
provisions which were published as a proposed rule on October 29, 1999 
(64 FR 58472) ``Control of Emissions of Air Pollution from 2004 and 
Later Model Year Heavy-Duty Highway Engines and Vehicles; Revision of 
Light-Duty On-Board Diagnostics Requirements'' (2004 Rule).
    The 2004 Rule was recently signed on July 31, 2000 but has not yet 
been submitted for publication in the Federal Register. To allow 
commenters as much time as possible to comment on the June 2, 2000, 
NPRM before the end of the comment period, the Agency is making the 
signed version of the 2004 Rule available on an EPA website listed in 
ADDRESSES. The end of the comment period for the June 2, 2000, NPRM is 
August 14, 2000.

DATES: The comment period for the June 2, 2000, NPRM remains open until 
August 14, 2000, for any parties wishing to comment.
