The EPA determines that CAA section 202(a)(1) does not authorize the Agency to prescribe emission standards in response to global climate change concerns for multiple reasons, including the best reading of the statutory terms \"air pollution,\" \"cause,\" \"contribute,\" and \"reasonably be anticipated to endanger.\" This statutory interpretation is corroborated by application of the major questions doctrine. The EPA further determines that GHG emission standards for new motor vehicles and engines do not impact in any material way the public health and welfare concerns identified in the Administrator's prior findings in 2009. On these multiple and independent bases, the EPA concludes that it lacks statutory authority to regulate GHG emissions in response to global climate change concerns under CAA section 202(a)(1), and is not finalizing the additional bases for repeal set out in the proposed rule.","document_number":"2026-03157","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/02/18/2026-03157/rescission-of-the-greenhouse-gas-endangerment-finding-and-motor-vehicle-greenhouse-gas-emission","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-02-18/pdf/2026-03157.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-03157.pdf?1771335921","publication_date":"2026-02-18","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"excerpts":"toxic measurement and <span class=\"match\">standards</span>, Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) testing, and <span class=\"match\">associated</span> fuel economy labeling requirements.\n \n \n \n 35 \n  “Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission <span class=\"match\">Standards</span> and Corporate Average Fuel Economy <span class=\"match\">Standards</span>,” 75 FR 25324 (May 7, 2010); “Greenhouse Gas Emissions <span class=\"match\">Standards</span> and Fuel Efficiency <span class=\"match\">Standards</span> for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles,” 76 FR 57106 (Sept. 15, 2011); “2017 and Later Model Year Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Corporate Average Fuel Economy <span class=\"match\">Standards</span>,” 77 FR 62624 (Oct."},{"title":"Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Cardiovascular Disorders","type":"Rule","abstract":"We are revising the criteria in the Listing of Impairments (listings) that we use to evaluate claims involving cardiovascular disorders in adults and children under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (Act).
