Subject: CLIMATE, ENERGY, AIR - ND. EPA & DOT. Notice of Upcoming Joint Rulemaking To Establish Vehicle GHG Emissions and CAFE Standards

Notice of Upcoming Joint Rulemaking To Establish Vehicle GHG
Emissions and CAFE Standards
AGENCIES: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of Intent to conduct a joint rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: There is a critically important need for our country to
address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. In this
context, EPA and DOT currently intend to work in coordination to
propose standards for control of emissions of greenhouse gases and for
fuel economy, respectively. If proposed and finalized, these standards
would apply to passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty
passenger vehicles (light-duty vehicles) built in model years 2012
through 2016. Together, these vehicle categories, which include
passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, minivans, and pickup trucks,
are responsible for almost 60 percent of all U.S. transportation-
related greenhouse gas emissions. If ultimately adopted, these
standards would represent a harmonized and consistent national policy
pursuant to the separate statutory frameworks under which EPA and DOT
operate. The approach addressed in this Notice, if ultimately adopted,
is intended to allow manufacturers to build a single light-duty
national fleet that would satisfy all requirements under both programs
and would provide significant reductions in both greenhouse gas
emissions and oil consumption.

ANNOUNCEMENT 4
Subject: ALL - Presidential Memo. Regulatory Preemption. Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies
Federal Register: May 22, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 98)]
[Presidential Documents]
[Page 24693-24694]
Presidential Documents
Memorandum of May 20, 2009
Preemption
Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and
Agencies
From our Nation's founding, the American constitutional
order has been a Federal system, ensuring a strong role
for both the national Government and the States. The
Federal Government's role in promoting the general
welfare and guarding individual liberties is critical,
but State law and national law often operate
concurrently to provide independent safeguards for the
public. Throughout our history, State and local
governments have frequently protected health, safety,
and the environment more aggressively than has the
national Government.
An understanding of the important role of State
governments in our Federal system is reflected in
longstanding practices by executive departments and
agencies, which have shown respect for the traditional
prerogatives of the States. In recent years, however,
notwithstanding Executive Order 13132 of August 4, 1999
(Federalism), executive departments and agencies have
sometimes announced that their regulations preempt
State law, including State common law, without explicit
preemption by the Congress or an otherwise sufficient
basis under applicable legal principles.
The purpose of this memorandum is to state the general
policy of my Administration that preemption of State
law by executive departments and agencies should be
undertaken only with full consideration of the
legitimate prerogatives of the States and with a
sufficient legal basis for preemption. Executive
departments and agencies should be mindful that in our
Federal system, the citizens of the several States have
distinctive circumstances and values, and that in many
instances it is appropriate for them to apply to
themselves rules and principles that reflect these
circumstances and values. As Justice Brandeis explained
more than 70 years ago, ``[i]t is one of the happy
incidents of the federal system that a single
courageous state may, if its citizens choose, serve as
a laboratory; and try novel social and economic
experiments without risk to the rest of the country.'' . . .
