| 96-16330 | Control of Emissions of Air Pollution from Highway Heavy-Duty Engines | Proposed Rule | In this action, EPA proposes new emission standards and related provisions for heavy-duty engines intended for highway operation, beginning in the 2004 model year. The proposed provisions represent a large reduction (approximately 50 percent) in emission of oxides of nitrogen (NO<INF>X), as well as reductions in hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrate particulate matter (PM) from trucks and buses. If the proposed standards are implemented, the resulting emission reductions would translate into significant, long-term improvements in air quality in many areas of the U.S. This would provide much-needed assistance to a range of states and regions facing ozone and particulate air quality problems that are causing a range of adverse health effects for their citizens, especially in terms of respiratory impairment and related illnesses. EPA is also proposing several provisions to increase the durability of emission controls and to provide flexibility for manufacturers in complying with the stringent new standards. The Agency previously published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking relating to this action and addresses here a number of the comments received on the Advance Notice. EPA believes the proposed program would result in significant progress throughout the country in protecting public health and the environment. | 1996-06-27 | 1996 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/06/27/96-16330/control-of-emissions-of-air-pollution-from-highway-heavy-duty-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-06-27/pdf/96-16330.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | In this action, EPA proposes new emission standards and related provisions for heavy-duty engines intended for highway operation, beginning in the 2004 model year.
