Fuel Economy Standards-Rights and Responsibilities of Manufacturers in the Context of Changes in Corporate Relationships

Résumé

This document proposes a new regulation to define the rights and responsibilities of manufacturers under the agency's corporate average fuel economy program in the context of changes in corporate relationships. The proposed regulation addresses the rights and responsibilities of predecessors and successors, as well the rights and responsibilities of manufacturers in other situations where there have been changes in corporate relationships, e.g., changes in control. Among other things, the proposed regulation would address how fuel economy credits are allocated in these types of situations.
