Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping Requirements
Document Number: E8-9648
Type: Notice
Date: 2008-05-02
Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from the public, it must receive approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed collections of information, including extensions and reinstatements of previously approved collections. This document describes one collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.
Average Fuel Economy Standards, Passenger Cars and Light Trucks; Model Years 2011-2015
Document Number: 08-1186
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-05-02
Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
This document proposes substantial increases in the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for passenger cars and light trucks that would enhance energy security by improving fuel economy. Since the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from the tailpipes of new motor vehicles is the natural by-product of the combustion of fuel, the increased standards would also address climate change by reducing tailpipe emissions of CO2. Those emissions represent 97 percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles. Implementation of the new standards would dramatically add to the billions of barrels of fuel already saved since the beginning of the CAFE program in 1975.

L. 110-140. This proposal is discussed in a companion notice published today.
