Amanda Beggs and Peter Tomasi Publish on Emission Standards Under Trump Administration

Foley & Lardner LLP partners Amanda Beggs and Peter Tomasi authored the Westlaw Today article, “Pumping the brakes? Outlook for state and federal vehicle, engine and equipment emissions standards.”

The authors explore potential regulatory changes for emissions standards under the Trump administration, focusing on key topics including the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s fuel economy standards, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s vehicle emission standards, and California’s mobile source rules.

“While uncertainty remains with respect to how the new administration will address vehicle, engine, and equipment emission standards and requirements,” the authors conclude, “there will be changes that may require regulated industry to adjust current compliance, production, and investment plans, particularly with respect to electric and other zero-emission technologies, related infrastructure, and supply chain arrangements.”
