EPA Proposes Ozone Transport Commission Low Emission Vehicle Program for Northeast Region

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a rule to require states in the Northeast Ozone Transport Region (OTR) to adopt an Ozone Transport Commission Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) program to reduce new motor vehicle emissions and bring nonattainment areas into compliance. The proposed rule aims to mitigate pollution transport and achieve equivalent reductions to the OTC LEV program.
