National Highway Traffic Safety Administration1, the Ninth Circuit reviewed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) Final Rule setting new corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards for light trucks. The petitioners challenged the standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).2 The court found a number of problems with the standards as adopted, and held that NHTSA should have included the impacts of climate change in its analysis.3 The court remanded to NHTSA to promulgate new standards “as expeditiously as possible” and to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).4 This victory for the environmental groups and states bringing the suit may lead to the first increase in overall fuel efficiency since 1987."
