Fuel Economy Regulations for Automobiles: Technical Amendments
and Corrections
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action amending and correcting
portions of the Environmental Protection Agency's existing fuel economy
and emission regulations. This action makes some minor corrections and
amendments to EPA's December 27th 2006 final rule for fuel economy
labeling requirements for cars and light trucks, including a slight
revision to the minivan definition. This action also makes changes to
EPA regulations to administer the Department of Transportation's
(DOT's) 2008-2011 model year passenger automobile and light truck
corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards. Changes include adding
reporting requirements for manufacturers to report to EPA their
applicable reformed CAFE fuel economy standards (also called ``required
fuel economy levels'') and reporting the basis for determining such
``required fuel economy levels.''
This direct final rule also adds provisions to clarify that special
test procedures, calculation methods and label formats may be used for
advanced technology vehicles for fuel economy labeling and CAFE
purposes. Advanced technology vehicles include, but are not limited to
electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles and
vehicles equipped with hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines. In
addition, today's action makes some minor changes to clarify the
meaning of, and correct errata in EPA regulations. The above amendments
and corrections will allow for the more effective administration of
existing regulations.
DATES: This rule is effective on January 25, 2010 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by December 28, 2009. If
EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect. The
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this rule
is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of January 25,
2010.

Fuel Economy Regulations for Automobiles: Technical Amendments
and Corrections
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to amend and correct portions of its existing
fuel economy regulations. There are three reasons for this action.
First, some minor corrections and amendments are needed to EPA's
December 27, 2006 final rule for fuel economy labeling requirements for
cars and light trucks. Second, the Department of Transportation
finalized new average fuel economy standards for 2008-2011 light trucks
on April 6, 2006. Third, on March 30, 2009, NHTSA revised CAFE
requirements for 2011 trucks and finalized new average fuel economy
(CAFE) standards for 2011 passenger automobiles. In order for DOT to
administer these new standards, EPA must make some conforming changes
to its regulations. In addition, some minor conforming changes to EPA's
regulations are needed for two other separate statutory and regulatory
actions. None of the above amendments and corrections would have any
direct impact on human health and the environment, but they would allow
for the more effective administration of existing regulations. In the
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we
published the above actions as a direct final rule without a prior
proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take
further action on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we
will withdraw the portions of the final rule receiving such comment and
those portions will not take effect. We will address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. We
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received by December 28, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2005-0169, by one of the following methods:
http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 30-day public comment period for the draft
document titled, ``A Framework for Categorizing the Relative
Vulnerability of Threatened and Endangered Species to Climate Change''
(EPA/600/R-09/011). The document was prepared by the National Center
for Environmental Assessment within EPA's Office of Research and
Development. This draft document describes an evaluative framework that
may be used to categorize the relative vulnerability of species to
climate change. To illustrate the use of this framework, it was applied
to five U.S. threatened and endangered species: The golden-cheeked
warbler, the salt marsh harvest mouse, the Mount Graham red squirrel,
the Lahontan cutthroat trout, and the desert tortoise. A sixth species,
the bald eagle which is no longer listed as threatened or endangered,
except for the southwest population, was also evaluated.
An external peer review of this report has been completed. The
public comment period and the external peer review are separate
processes. The public comment period provides an opportunity for all
interested parties to comment on the document. When finalizing the
draft document, EPA will consider any public comments received in
accordance with this notice.
EPA is releasing this draft document solely for the purpose of pre-
dissemination review and comment under applicable information quality
guidelines. This document has not been formally disseminated by EPA and
does not represent and should not be construed to represent any Agency
policy or determination. The first draft of this report was reviewed in
2002 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service within the Department of the
Interior. This final draft is being released to the public as well as
to other federal agencies who may wish to comment.
DATES: The 30-day public comment period begins November 25, 2009, and
ends December 28, 2009. Technical comments should be in writing and
must be received by EPA by December 28, 2009.
ADDRESSES: The draft ``A Framework for Categorizing the Relative
Vulnerability of Threatened and Endangered Species to Climate Change''
is available primarily via the Internet on the National Center for
Environmental Assessment's home page under the Recent Additions and the
Data and Publications menus at http://www.epa.gov/ncea. A limited
number of paper copies are available from the Information Management
Team, NCEA; telephone: 703-347-8561; facsimile: 703-347-8691. If you
are requesting a paper copy, please provide your name, your mailing
address, and the document title, ``A Framework for Categorizing the
Relative Vulnerability of Threatened and Endangered Species to Climate
