The United States Postal Service (USPS) is publishing this interim final rule with request for comments to partially rescind and update its remaining National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) implementing procedures, which were promulgated to implement the now- rescinded Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations.
This document supplements NHTSA's September 2023 notice of proposed rulemaking to amend NHTSA's regulations to include an advanced crash test dummy (the Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint (THOR) 50th percentile adult male) by requesting comment on specifying an additional spine configuration and an alternative to the face foam, and announcing the availability of additional documents.
NHTSA, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), is substantially recalibrating the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program to bring the program into compliance with the law and to remove previous regulatory distortions which have induced manufacturers to make design decisions that have neither aligned with market demand and the needs of American families nor have delivered the consistent improvements in the fuel economy performance of manufacturer fleets, as Congress intended. This recalibration finalizes amendments to fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles for model years 2022- 2026 and MYs 2027-2031. This final rule also finalizes amendments to compliance aspects of the program, including to vehicle classification and other compliance pathways.
