Environmental Protection Agency To Host Virtual Meeting Summarizing Heavy-Duty Vehicle Emission Rule Proposals

Recently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new, stronger standards to reduce pollution from heavy-duty vehicles and engines starting in model year 2027 by reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from heavy-duty gasoline and diesel engines. This Thursday, May 5th at both Noon EDT and 6:30PM EDT, the EPA will be hosting a virtual meeting present a summary of the serviceability and inducement (engine derate to “induce” proper DEF and SCR maintenance) proposals that were included in their anticipated heavy-duty vehicle emissions rulemaking. 

The purpose of the meetings, which are free of charge and open to the public, is to inform stakeholders about what is included in the proposal and describe the process for submitting comments that the EPA can consider as the proposal is finalized.

EPA will not be soliciting live feedback on the proposal during this meeting. Instead, feedback and comments on the proposal can be submitted by May 16th, 2022 to the rulemaking docket on regulations.gov.

Meeting details are below. Please email ASD-registration@epa.gov with your intent to attend the meeting. Pre-registration is not required but is suggested to ensure enough spots are available.
