   OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator 
Lee Zeldin today announced the agency will reconsider Model Year 2027 and Later 
Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles regulation and Greenhouse Gas Emissions 
Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles.

   The agency wrote that in addition to imposing over $700 billion in 
regulatory and compliance costs, these rules provided the foundation for the 
Biden-Harris electric vehicle mandate that takes away Americans' ability to 
choose a safe and affordable car for their family and increases the cost of 
living on all products that trucks deliver.  

   EPA is also reevaluating other parts of the Biden administration's "Clean 
Trucks Plan," which includes the 2022 Heavy-Duty Nitrous Oxide rule.

   "The American auto industry has been hamstrung by the crushing regulatory 
regime of the last administration. As we reconsider nearly one trillion dollars 
of regulatory costs, we will abide by the rule of law to protect consumer 
choice and the environment," said EPA Administrator Zeldin.
