Billy Tauzin Chairman The Honorable John D. Dingell Ranking Minority Member Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: Light Truck Average Fuel Economy Standard, Model Year 2004 Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Transportation (DOT), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, entitled Light Truck Average Fuel Economy Standard, Model Year 2004 (RIN: 2127-AI68). We received the rule on April 5, 2002. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on April 4, 2002. 67 Fed. Reg. 16052. The final rule establishes the average fuel economy standard (known as Corporation Average Fuel Economy or CAFE standards) for light trucks manufactured in the 2004 model year. The standard is set at 20.7 mpg. Since 1995, the standards-setting process for light truck CAFE standards was affected by restrictions imposed in the Department of Transportation's annual appropriations acts. These acts provided that none of the funds were available to prepare, propose, or promulgate any regulations prescribing CAFE standards in any model year that differed from standards previously promulgated. The restrictions ended with the enactment of the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002. However, this was not GAO-02-609R
