The EPA's proposal to repeal greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards for vehicles introduces significant regulatory changes that could impact compliance requirements for businesses involved in vehicle manufacturing and sales. The upcoming public hearing provides an opportunity for stakeholders to influence the regulation, which may result in reduced operational costs for some businesses but could also create uncertainty in emission compliance practices.
