Public Hearing transcripts:
- EPA/NHTSA Notice of Intent to Establish Model Year 2012-2016 Joint Standards to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Improve Fuel Economy for Cars and Trucks (published May 22, 2009)
In May 2009, EPA and the Department of Transportation issued a Notice of Intent stating that the two agencies would work together to establish national vehicle greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards for new cars and trucks sold in the United States. This joint Notice of Intent followed President Obama’s May 2009 announcement of a national policy that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for all new cars and trucks sold in the United States.

- Notice of Upcoming Joint Rulemaking to Establish Vehicle GHG Emissions and CAFÉ Standards (PDF) (6 pp, 112K, May 22, 2009)
- The State of California and major automakers showed their support for this effort by sending letters to the agencies in 2009.
