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":"compensate for the identified trends.\n \n \n Finally, we <span class=\"match\">proposed</span> three alternative bases to repeal the GHG emission standards separate and apart from the <span class=\"match\">proposed</span> rescission of the Endangerment Finding.

These transitions are part of an ongoing global effort by market participants, benchmark administrators, regulators, and others to shift away from reliance on certain interbank offered rates (IBORs) that are, or are expected to become, unavailable as benchmark reference rates, and increase adoption of alternative reference rates, which are predominantly overnight, nearly risk-free reference rates (RFRs). The proposed amendments would revise the set of interest rate swaps that are required to be submitted for clearing, pursuant to the CEA and the Commission's regulations, to a derivatives clearing organization (DCO) that is registered under the CEA (registered DCO) or a DCO that has been exempted from such registration (exempt DCO).
