Conduct realistic cost assessments that reflect actual consumer experiences instead of the current unrealistic ones claiming that the program is virtually cost-free.

Mobile Source Regulation by the Office of Transportation and Air Quality

Establish GHG car standards under Department of Transportation (DOT) leadership that properly consider cost, choice, safety, and national security.

Review the existing “ramp rate” for car standards to ensure that it is actually achievable.

Include life cycle emissions of electric vehicles and consider all of their environmental impacts.

Restore the position that California’s waiver applies only to Californiaspecific issues like ground-level ozone, not global climate issues.

Ensure that other states can adopt California’s standards only for traditional/criteria pollutants, not greenhouse gases.

Stop the use of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to increase standards on airplanes.

Reconsider the Cleaner Trucks Initiative to balance the goal of driving down emissions without creating significant costs or complex burdens on

the industry.

Air Permitting Reforms for New Source Review (Pre-Construction Per

mits) and Title V (Operating Permits)

Develop reforms to ensure that when a facility improves efficiency within its production process, new permitting requirements are not triggered.

Restore the Trump EPA position on Once-In, Always-In (that major sources can convert to area sources when affiliated emissions standards are met).

Revisit permitting and enforcement assumptions that sources will operate

24 hours a day, 365 days a year; this artificially inflates a source’s potential to emit (PTE), which can result in more stringent permit terms.
