ACTION: Notice of data availability. 

SUMMARY: This Notice provides an 

opportunity to comment on new 

information being made available by the 

EPA and by NHTSA, on behalf of DOT, 

related to the proposed Phase 2 HeavyDuty National Program proposed July 

13, 2015, to reduce greenhouse gas 

emissions and fuel consumption for 

new on-road heavy-duty vehicles and 

engines. The new information, 

including memoranda and data, have 

been placed in the public dockets. Data 

relating to the potential stringency of 

the proposed standards includes: 

Powertrain data; additional 

aerodynamic test data; supplemental 

test data relating to drive cycles (and 

frequency thereof) for vocational 

vehicles; and cycle average mapping 

data. The agencies are soliciting 

additional comment on certain revised 

test reports, and a revised version of the 

Greenhouse Gas Emission Model (GEM) 

used both in developing certain of the 

proposed standards and in 

demonstrating compliance with those 

standards. Additionally, EPA is 

soliciting further comment on 

memoranda relating to standard 

applicability and implementation. 

These memoranda address potential 

requirements for selective enforcement 

audits and confirmatory testing related 

to greenhouse gas emissions, and 

applicability of emission standards and 

certification responsibilities for trailers, 

glider vehicles, and glider kits. Finally, 

EPA is soliciting additional comments 

on issues discussed in a late comment 

related to light-duty motor vehicles used 

for racing.

B. Public Participation 

EPA and NHTSA request comment on 

the information identified in this 

Notice. We are not requesting comment 

on other aspects of this joint proposed 

rule. This section describes how you 

can participate in this process. 

(1) How do I prepare and submit 

comments? 

There are many issues common to 

EPA’s and NHTSA’s proposals. For the 

convenience of all parties, comments 

submitted to the EPA docket will be 

considered comments submitted to the 

NHTSA docket, and vice versa. 

Therefore, a commenter only needs to 

submit comments to either of the agency 

dockets (or choose to submit a comment 

to both). Comments that are submitted 

for consideration by one agency should 

be identified as such, and comments 

that are submitted for consideration by 

both agencies should be identified as 

such. Absent such identification, each 

agency will exercise its best judgment to 

determine whether a comment is 

submitted on its proposal. 

(2) Tips for Preparing Your Comments 

When submitting comments, please 

remember to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number) 

• Explain why you agree or disagree, 

suggest alternatives, and substitute 

language for your requested changes 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information 

and/or data that you used 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced 

• Provide specific examples to illustrate 

your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats 

• Make sure to submit your comments 

by the comment period deadline 

identified in the DATES section above 

(3) How can I be sure that my comments 

were received? 

NHTSA: If you submit your comments 

by mail and wish Docket Management 

to notify you upon its receipt of your 

comments, enclose a self-addressed, 

stamped postcard in the envelope 

containing your comments. Upon 

receiving your comments, Docket 

Management will return the postcard by 

mail. 

(4) How do I submit confidential 

business information? 

Any confidential business 

information (CBI) submitted to one of 

the agencies will also be available to the 

other agency. However, as with all 

public comments, any CBI information 

only needs to be submitted to either one 

of the agencies’ dockets and it will be 

available to the other. Following are 

specific instructions for submitting CBI 

to either agency. If you have any 

questions about CBI or the procedures 

for claiming CBI, please consult the 

persons identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. 

EPA: Do not submit CBI to EPA 

through www.regulations.gov or email. 

Clearly mark the part or all of the 

information that you claim to be CBI. 

For CBI information in a disk or CD 

ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the 

outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI 

and then identify electronically within 

the disk or CD ROM the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. 

Information not marked as CBI will be 

included in the public docket without 

prior notice. In addition to one complete 

version of the comment that includes 

information claimed as CBI, a copy of 

the comment that does not contain the 

information claimed as CBI must be 

submitted for inclusion in the public 

docket. Information so marked will not 

be disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

NHTSA: If you wish to submit any 

information under a claim of 

confidentiality, you should submit three 

copies of your complete submission, 

including the information you claim to 

be confidential business information, to 

the Chief Counsel, NHTSA, at the 

address given above under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. When you send a 

comment containing confidential 

business information, you should 

include a cover letter setting forth the 

information specified in our 

confidential business information 

regulation.3

In addition, you should submit a copy 

from which you have deleted the 

claimed confidential business 

information to the Docket by one of the 

methods set forth above. 

(5) How can I read the comments 

submitted by other people? 

You may read the materials placed in 

the docket for this document (e.g., the 

comments submitted in response to this 

document by other interested persons) 

at any time by going to http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for accessing the dockets. 

You may also read the materials at the 

EPA Docket Center or NHTSA Docket 

Management Facility by going to the 

street addresses given above under 

ADDRESSES. 

C. Background 

As part of the Climate Action Plan 

announced in June 2013,4 the President 

directed the EPA and NHTSA to set the 

next round of standards to reduce 

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 

improve fuel efficiency for medium- and 

heavy-duty vehicles and engines. More 

than 70 percent of the oil used in the 

United States and 28 percent of GHG 

emissions come from the transportation 

sector, and since 2009 EPA and NHTSA 

have worked with industry and the 

State of California to develop ambitious, 

flexible standards for both the fuel 

economy and GHG emissions of lightduty vehicles and the fuel efficiency 

and GHG emissions of heavy-duty 

vehicles and engines.5 6 Throughout 

every stage of development for these 

programs, EPA and NHTSA 

(collectively, the agencies, or ‘‘we’’) 

have worked in close partnership not 

only with each other, but with the 

vehicle and engine manufacturing 

industries, environmental community 

leaders, and the State of California, 

among other entities, to create a single, 

effective set of national standards. 

The agencies’ proposed Phase 2 

standards (80 FR 40138, July 13, 2015) 

would phase in through model year 


jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 2, 2016 / Proposed Rules 10825 

2027, and were intended to result in an 

ambitious, yet achievable program that 

would allow manufacturers to meet 

standards through a mix of different 

technologies at reasonable cost. The 

proposed Phase 2 program would build 

on and advance the model years 2014– 

2018 Phase 1 program in a number of 

important ways including: Basing 

standards not only on currently 

available technologies but also on 

utilization of technologies now under 

development or not yet widely deployed 

while providing significant lead time to 

assure adequate time to develop, test, 

and phase in these controls; developing 

standards for trailers; further 

encouraging innovation and providing 

flexibility; including vehicles produced 

by small business manufacturers; 

incorporating enhanced test procedures 

that (among other things) allow 

individual drivetrain and powertrain 

performance to be reflected in the 

vehicle certification process; and using 

an expanded and improved compliance 

simulation model. 

This notice alerts the public to new 

information placed in the agencies’ 

public dockets, and solicits comment on 

that information. The information takes 

the form of raw data, revised test 

reports, and memoranda that in some 

instances indicate potential 

implications of the data for purposes of 

standard stringency and 

implementation. In addition to 

information placed into the docket by 

the agencies, EPA also solicits 

comments on issues discussed in a late 

public comment that addresses 

proposed regulations related to lightduty motor vehicles used for racing. The 

agencies will accept comments on these 

materials through April 1, 2016. The 

agencies will not address new 

comments extraneous to these materials 

in the final rulemaking or its associated 

documents.
