Apr 8, 2009· Comment submitted by William L. Kovacs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce· EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0173-8995
Attached are the comments of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business federation representing more than three million businesses and organizations of every size, sector, and region. The Chamber categorically opposes the grant of a waiver to California under Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 209 to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, and strongly recommends using the existing Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program to address motor vehicle greenhouse gas emissions. If EPA does choose to grant the waiver, it should expressly state that the waiver does not result in greenhouse gases becoming "subject to regulation" under the CAA.
