The department is holding a second workshop on rulemaking to adopt the California emissions standards for new motor vehicles pursuant to section 177 of the federal Clean Air Act. The department proposes to create new rule Chapter 62-285, F.A.C., Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction, and develop new Rule 62-285.400, F.A.C., Adoption of California Motor Vehicle Emissions Standards, to accomplish this purpose. The effect of the rule would be to require that new motor vehicles sold in the state meet the California emissions standards. The department will not be offering any rule proposals at the December 5th workshop. The purpose of this second workshop is to provide another opportunity for interested persons to provide comments and recommendations to the department as we continue this rulemaking process.
