CFR /  Title 49  /  Part 531  /  Sec. 531.5 Fuel economy standards.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (f) of this section, each manufacturer of passenger automobiles shall comply with the fleet average fuel economy standards in Table I, expressed in miles per gallon, in the model year specified as applicable: [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30MR09.101 *S8010*I11(b) For model year 2011, a manufacturer's passenger automobile fleet shall comply with the fleet average fuel economy level calculated for that model year according to Figure 1 and the appropriate values in Table II. [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15OC12.070 Where: N is the total number (sum) of passenger automobiles produced by a

manufacturer;N i is the number (sum) of the ith passenger automobile model

produced by the manufacturer; andT i is the fuel economy target of the ith model passenger

automobile, which is determined according to the following

formula, rounded to the nearest hundredth:

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15OC12.071

Where: Parameters a, b, c, and d are defined in Table II;e = 2.718; andx = footprint (in square feet, rounded to the nearest tenth) of the

vehicle model.

(c) For model years 2012-2025, a manufacturer's passenger automobile fleet shall comply with the fleet average fuel economy level calculated for that model year according to Figure 2 and the appropriate values in Table III.[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15OC12.072 Where: CAFE required is the fleet average fuel economy standard for a given

fleet (domestic passenger automobiles or import passenger

automobiles);Subscript i is a designation of multiple groups of automobiles, where

each group's designation, i.e., i = 1, 2, 3, etc., represents

automobiles that share a unique model type and footprint

within the applicable fleet, either domestic passenger

automobiles or import passenger automobiles;Production i is the number of passenger automobiles produced for sale in

the United States within each ith designation, i.e., which

share the same model type and footprint;

TARGET i is the fuel economy target in miles per gallon (mpg) applicable to the footprint of passenger automobiles within each ith designation, i.e., which share the same model type and footprint, calculated according to Figure 3 and rounded to the nearest hundredth of a mpg, i.e., 35.455 = 35.46 mpg, and the summations in the numerator and denominator are both performed over all models in the fleet in question.[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15OC12.073 Where: TARGET is the fuel economy target (in mpg) applicable to vehicles of a

given footprint (FOOTPRINT, in square feet);Parameters a, b,c, and d are defined in Table III; andThe MIN and MAX functions take the minimum and maximum, respectively, of

the included values.

(e) For model years 2022-2025, each manufacturer shall comply with the standards set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d) in this section, if NHTSA determines in a rulemaking, initiated after January 1, 2017, and conducted in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 32902, that the standards in paragraphs (c) and (d) are the maximum feasible standards for model years 2022-2025. If, for any of those model years, NHTSA determines that the maximum feasible standard for passenger cars and the corresponding minimum standard for domestically manufactured passenger cars should be set at a different level, manufacturers shall comply with those different standards in lieu of the standards set forth for those model years in paragraphs (c) and (d), and NHTSA will revise this section to reflect the different standards.
