Rachel Carson Council Comment: Reconsideration of 2009 Endangerment Finding and Greenhouse Gas Vehicle Standards
09-22-25
(Docket ID: EPA-HQ-OAR-2025-0194)
The Rachel Carson Council (RCC), a national environmental organization dedicated to protecting human health and the natural world, submits this comment in strong opposition to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) reconsideration of the 2009 Endangerment Finding under Åò202(a) of the Clean Air Act and its efforts to weaken greenhouse gas (GHG) vehicle standards. Rescinding or weakening these determinations would defy the scientific consensus on climate change, endanger the American public, and contradict EPA’s statutory duty.
