The Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for 
Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic 
Safety Administration.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects information in the proposed rule 
published in the August 24, 2018 issue of the Federal Register entitled 
The Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for Model 
Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks. Specifically, a table 
in the Paperwork Reduction Act section is corrected; two minor changes 
are made to one amendatory instruction in NHTSA's regulatory text, and 
the coefficients specifying the proposed carbon dioxide standards in 
EPA's regulatory text have been corrected to reflect EPA's proposal to 
exclude credits for direct A/C emissions for purposes of compliance 
with carbon dioxide standards after model year 2020, as explained in 
Section III of the proposed rule. This document contains only clerical 
corrections and makes no updates to either the proposal or to the 
analysis underlying the proposal. For the reader's information, an 
updated Preliminary Regulatory Impact Assessment (PRIA) will also be 
made available concurrent with this notice; that document will include 
descriptions starting on the second page detailing the corrections to 
various tables and figures therein.

DATES: Comments for the proposed rule must be received on or before 
October 26, 2018.
