ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking;
correction.
AGENCY:
This document corrects
technical errors in the proposed rule
that appeared in the Federal Register on
August 17, 2023, entitled ‘‘Corporate
Average Fuel Economy Standards for
Passenger Cars and Light Trucks for
Model Years 2027–2032 and Fuel
Efficiency Standards for Heavy-Duty
Pickup Trucks and Vans for Model
Years 2030–2035.’’ That document
proposed new Corporate Average Fuel
Economy (CAFE) standards for
passenger cars and light trucks to be
manufactured in model years (MYs)
2027–2032, and new fuel efficiency
standards for heavy-duty pickup trucks
and vans (HDPUVs) to be manufactured
in MYs 2030–2035.
DATES: Comments for the proposed rule
published on August 17, 2023, at 88 FR
56128, must be received on or before
October 16, 2023.

SUMMARY:
Washington, DC 20590; email:
joseph.bayer@dot.gov; phone: (202)
366–9540.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Prior to
publication of the proposal for new
CAFE standards for passenger cars and
light trucks and new fuel efficiency
standards for HDPUVs, NHTSA noticed
several minor typographical errors that
could not be corrected prior to printing.
The needed corrections to the preamble
replace the target function coefficient
numbers in Table II–3, Table III–4,
Table III–12, Table III–13, Table III–15,
Table III–16, Table III–18, Table III–19,
Table III–21, and Table III–22. NHTSA
notes that these modifications do not
change the values but simply provide
additional significant figures for the
coefficients. For the reader’s reference,
NHTSA has also made the
corresponding changes to the target
coefficient tables in the accompanying
Technical Support Document (TSD) and
Preliminary Regulatory Impact
Assessment (PRIA), which are found in
the docket for this rulemaking and on
the agency’s website. The needed
correction to the proposed regulatory
text clarifies that NHTSA is proposing
to eliminate 5-cycle and alternative
approvals for off-cycle fuel consumption
incentive values (FCIVs) starting in MY
2027. This document also corrects the
proposed regulatory text to clarify that
multipliers for advanced, innovative,
and off-cycle technologies for heavyduty pickup trucks and vans are
available through model year 2027.
I. Preamble Corrections

NHTSA,
on behalf of the DOT, is proposing new
corporate average fuel economy (CAFE)
standards for passenger cars and light
trucks for MYs 2027–2032, and new fuel
efficiency standards for heavy-duty
pickup trucks and vans (HDPUVs) for
MYs 2030–2035. This proposal
responds to NHTSA’s statutory
obligation to set CAFE and HDPUV
standards at the maximum feasible level
that the agency determines vehicle
manufacturers can achieve in each MY,
in order to improve energy
conservation. Specifically, NHTSA is
proposing new fuel economy standards
for passenger cars and light trucks and
fuel efficiency standards for model years
(MYs) 2027–31 that increase at a rate of
2 percent per year for passenger cars
and 4 percent per year for light trucks,
and new fuel efficiency standards for
heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans
(HDPUVs) for MYs 2030–2035 that
increase at a rate of 10 percent per year.
NHTSA is also setting forth proposed
augural standards for MY 2032
passenger cars and light trucks, which
would increase at 2 percent and 4
percent year over year, respectively, as
compared to the prior year’s standards.
In addition, NHTSA is also proposing
certain technical amendments to clarify
and streamline our compliance
regulations. The proposal was signed on
July 28, 2023, and was published in the
Federal Register on August 17, 2023. A
notice of availability for the
accompanying Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (Draft EIS) was
published in the Federal Register on
August 04, 2023 (88 FR 51812). The
Draft EIS is available on NHTSA’s CAFE
website, https://www.nhtsa.gov/cafe,
and is also available in Docket ID No.

Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards for Passenger Cars and
Light Trucks for Model Years 2027-2032 and Fuel Efficiency Standards
for Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks and Vans for Model Years 2030-2035;
Correction
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects technical errors in the proposed rule
that appeared in the Federal Register on August 17, 2023, entitled
``Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards for Passenger Cars and Light
Trucks for Model Years 2027-2032 and Fuel Efficiency Standards for
Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks and Vans for Model Years 2030-2035.'' That
document proposed new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards
for passenger cars and light trucks to be manufactured in model years
(MYs) 2027-2032, and new fuel efficiency standards for heavy-duty
pickup trucks and vans (HDPUVs) to be manufactured in MYs 2030-2035.
DATES: Comments for the proposed rule published on August 17, 2023, at
88 FR 56128, must be received on or before October 16, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Bayer, CAFE Program Division
Chief, Office of Rulemaking, National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590; email:
[email protected]; phone: (202) 366-9540.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Prior to publication of the proposal for new
CAFE standards for passenger cars and light trucks and new fuel
efficiency standards for HDPUVs, NHTSA noticed several minor
typographical errors that could not be corrected prior to printing. The
needed corrections to the preamble replace the target function
coefficient numbers in Table II-3, Table III-4, Table III-12, Table
III-13, Table III-15, Table III-16, Table III-18, Table III-19, Table
III-21, and Table III-22. NHTSA notes that these modifications do not
change the values but simply provide additional significant figures for
the coefficients. For the reader's reference, NHTSA has also made the
corresponding changes to the target coefficient tables in the
accompanying Technical Support Document (TSD) and Preliminary
Regulatory Impact Assessment (PRIA), which are found in the docket for
this rulemaking and on the agency's website. The needed correction to
the proposed regulatory text clarifies that NHTSA is proposing to
eliminate 5-cycle and alternative approvals for off-cycle fuel
consumption incentive values (FCIVs) starting in MY 2027. This document
also corrects the proposed regulatory text to clarify that multipliers
for advanced, innovative, and off-cycle technologies for heavy-duty
pickup trucks and vans are available through model year 2027.
