(Public Law 110–140; 121 Stat. 1498) require the Sec-
retary of Transportation to set maximum feasible cor-
porate average fuel economy standards, with the ultimate 
goal of promoting energy savings and reducing oil con-
sumption; 
Whereas the Federal Government, the State of California, 
and the automobile industry have agreed to a coordinated 
set of regulations, known as the ‘‘One National Pro-
gram’’, that— 
(1) aligns, as closely as possible, the model years 
2012 and later Federal light-duty vehicle GHG emissions 
standards and fuel economy standards with the light-duty 
vehicle GHG emissions standards adopted by California; 
and 
(2) sets achievable standards for light-duty vehicle 
GHG emissions and fuel economy that increase in strin-
gency through model year 2025; 
Whereas the EPA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-
ministration, and the California Air Resources Board 
have collaborated on an extensive analysis that clearly 
demonstrates that the Federal GHG emission standards 
and the Federal fuel economy standards adopted in 2012 
for model years 2017–2025— 
(1) can be met with a wide range of technologies; 
(2) are expected to be met with advanced gasoline 
technologies; and 
(3) will accommodate contemporary consumer pur-
chasing trends; 
Whereas, in January 2017, the Administrator of the EPA 
issued a final determination to maintain the existing 
GHG emissions standards for vehicles of model year 
2022 through 2025, based on the extensive technical

record showing that those standards are appropriate and 
achievable; 
Whereas the light-duty vehicle GHG emissions and fuel econ-
omy standards of the United States— 
(1) support more than 288,000 automobile manufac-
turing jobs across 1,200 facilities in the United States; 
(2) keep automobile companies in the United States 
globally competitive as other countries adopt strict clean 
vehicle emissions standards; and 
(3) protect consumers in the United States from 
dirtier and more costly technology; 
Whereas the transportation sector has surpassed the energy 
sector as the largest source of GHG emissions in the 
United States; 
Whereas the light-duty vehicle GHG emissions and fuel econ-
omy standards of the United States, if fully implemented 
through model year 2025, will— 
(1) reduce the consumption of oil in the United 
States by 2,400,000 barrels per day; 
(2) 
save 
consumers

(3) reduce GHG emissions in the United States by 
470,000,000 metric tons by 2030; 
Whereas the light-duty vehicle GHG emissions and fuel econ-
omy standards of the United States protect low-income 
communities and communities of color from being dis-
proportionately affected by public health and economic 
burdens; and 
Whereas 87 percent of people in the United States—

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) supports the existing set of regulations, 
known as the ‘‘One National Program’’, which con-
tains the goals of— 
(A) reducing greenhouse gas (referred to 
in this resolving clause as ‘‘GHG’’) emissions 
and oil usage; 
(B) protecting national security; and 
(C) protecting human health and welfare; 
and 
(2) to meet those goals, supports policies that— 
(A) achieve maximum feasible reductions 
in oil use; 
(B) reduce GHG emissions from mobile 
sources; 
(C) recognize the rights and importance of 
States under cooperative federalism to choose to 
set and follow vehicle emissions standards 
under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et 
seq.) that are stronger than those set by the 
Federal Government; and
