First, EPA proposes to correct regulations pertaining to how auto manufacturers must calculate credits for the GHG program's optional advanced technology incentives. The regulations currently in place result in auto manufacturers receiving fewer credits than the agency intended for electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and natural gas fueled vehicles. Auto manufacturers requested through a petition letter submitted jointly by the Auto Alliance and Global Automakers in June 2016 that EPA correct the regulations to provide the intended level of credits for these technologies. Second, the regulations regarding how manufacturers must calculate certain types of off-cycle credits contain an error and are inconsistent with the 2012 final rule preamble, raising implementation concerns for some manufacturers. The proposed amendments would clarify the calculation methodology in the regulations. Both of these corrections allow the program to be implemented as originally intended. The proposed corrections are not expected to result in any additional regulatory burdens or costs. 83 FR 49344 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2018-10-01/2018-21195 2018-21195 fr01oc18-25 RIN 2060-AT75 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0755 FRL-9984-54-OAR https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2018-10-01/2018-21195 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-10-01/html/2018-21195.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-10-01/pdf/2018-21195.pdf Administrative Practice and Procedure Confidential Business Information Labeling Motor Vehicle Pollution Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements 9 p. 49344 49352 83 FR 49344 Title 40 Part 86 40 CFR Part 86 RIN 2060-AT75 Light-Duty Vehicle GHG Program Technical Amendments; Federal Register Vol. 83, Issue PRORULE 2018-21195 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2018-10-31 2018-10-09 EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0755 FRL-9984-54-OAR 6560-50-P 2018-21195 Proposed rule.
