That recalibration includes proposing to amend DOT's fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles for model years (MYs) 2022- 2026 and MYs 2027-2031. Consistent with statutory requirements, the fuel economy standards proposed in this rule are founded on light-duty vehicles powered by gasoline and diesel fuels, a category that includes non-plug-in hybrid vehicles. In formulating the proposed standards, NHTSA has not considered, consistent with law, the imputed fuel-economy performance of battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) or the electric operation of vehicles that use plug-in hybrid electric powertrains, nor compliance credits or adjustments to the two-cycle fuel economy test procedures to account for air conditioning and off-cycle technologies. NHTSA also is proposing to eliminate the inter-manufacturer credit trading system and to amend the light-duty vehicle fleet classification system to allocate vehicles into passenger and non-passenger automobile fleets appropriately, based on their attributes and capabilities, starting in MY 2028. Elimination of unlawful considerations, combined with several of the proposed changes, would significantly improve the capabilities of manufacturers to meet fuel economy standards, better align the program with Congressional intent, and reduce manufacturer incentives to design vehicles and add features that are not desired by American consumers and that have questionable real-world fuel economy benefits. NHTSA is therefore proposing to set fuel economy standards that increase from newly proposed MY 2022 standards at a rate of 0.5 percent per year through MY 2026, followed by 0.25 percent per year through MY 2031, with MY 2027 stringency established as a bridge between the two sets of standards. The reduced stringency increases in later years, coupled with a reevaluation of the coefficients that define the functions governing fuel economy standards, are intended to establish maximum feasible standards in a manner that gains real-world fuel-economy-benefits, while enabling the industry to adapt to the proposed substantial recalibration of the CAFE program. NHTSA projects that the amended standards would correspond to the industry fleetwide average for all light-duty vehicles of roughly 34.5 miles per gallon (mpg) in MY 2031.","document_number":"2025-22014","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/05/2025-22014/the-safer-affordable-fuel-efficient-safe-vehicles-rule-iii-for-model-years-2022-to-2031-passenger","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-05/pdf/2025-22014.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22014.pdf?1764855918","publication_date":"2025-12-05","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","id":345,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-highway-traffic-safety-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/345","parent_id":492,"slug":"national-highway-traffic-safety-administration"}],"excerpts":"vehicle with a TURBOD engine <span class=\"match\">cannot</span> adopt an advanced cylinder deactivation on a dual-overhead camshaft engine (ADEACD) engine.\n 67 \n \n As an example of NHTSA's rationale for ordering technologies on the technology tree, an engine could potentially be changed from TURBO0 to TURBO2 <span class=\"match\">without</span> redesigning the engine block or requiring significantly different expertise to design and implement.

Further, unnecessary fields and worksheets will be eliminated to ensure that DIRS is collecting the information that is most important for emergency response. This modernization also eliminates the requirement for service providers to file a DIRS final report within 24 hours of DIRS' deactivation, and exempts non-facilities-based providers from DIRS reporting. This document also recognizes the emergence of public safety voice and broadband networks and the critical connectivity they provide to public safety stakeholders by requiring providers of these services to submit DIRS reports on the status of their public safety network infrastructure. Finally, we augment providers' ability to voluntarily submit geospatial information on infrastructure affected by disasters.

Specifically, this document proposes rules that would provide that medical management techniques used by non- grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered group or individual health insurance coverage with respect to such preventive services would not be considered reasonable unless the plan or issuer provides an easily accessible, transparent, and sufficiently expedient exceptions process that would allow an individual to receive coverage without cost sharing for the preventive service that is medically necessary with respect to the individual, as determined by the individual's attending provider, even if such service is not generally covered under the plan or coverage. These proposed rules also contain separate requirements that would apply to coverage of contraceptive items that are preventive services under the Public Health Service Act. Specifically, these proposed rules would require plans and issuers to cover certain recommended over-the-counter contraceptive items without requiring a prescription and without imposing cost-sharing requirements. In addition, the proposed rules would require plans and issuers to cover certain recommended contraceptive items that are drugs and drug-led combination products without imposing cost-sharing requirements, unless a therapeutic equivalent of the drug or drug-led combination product is covered without cost sharing.

Those four manners will all be standard manners of appearance in our hearing process. For online video and audio appearances, claimants may appear for hearings remotely, using private electronic devices that we do not own, operate, or approve. For online video appearances, a claimant may appear for a hearing using approved online video conferencing applications, rather than conferencing options using equipment that we own or approve. Additionally, while our current regulations permit us to schedule claimants to appear by telephone in limited circumstances only, this final rule will allow us to schedule claimants to appear by audio without similar restrictions, if the claimant does not object to appearing in that manner.
