The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has asked for public comments on “determining the scope of considerations to be addressed in the EIS \[environmental impact statement\] and for identifying any significant environmental matters related to the proposed action”.

On March 22, 2017, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao announced that they would reconsider EPA’s Mid-Term Evaluation for 2022–2025 greenhouse gas emissions standards in order to allow additional consultation with NHTSA.
