NHTSA CAFE EIS Notice and Request for Scoping Comments

NHTSA plans to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to address the potential environmental impacts of the agency's Corporate Average Fuel Economy [CAFE] program for passenger automobiles (= "passenger cars'') and non-passenger automobiles (= "light trucks''). The EIS will address new fuel economy standards for model year 2011-2015 passenger cars and light trucks. The notice initiates the NEPA scoping process to identify the environmental issues and reasonable alternatives to be examined in the EIS, and requests comments regarding those and other matters related to the scope of NHTSA'S NEPA analysis for the new standards.
