National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Federal agency responsible for regulations under National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
43 regulationsThe Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule III for Model Years 2022 to 2031 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks
This rule sets new fuel efficiency and emissions standards for cars and light trucks sold between 2022 and 2031. The standards require automakers to gradually improve how far vehicles can travel on a gallon of fuel and reduce the pollution they produce, which affects what vehicles are available for purchase and their prices.
The Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule III for Model Years 2022 to 2031 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks
This regulation sets new fuel efficiency and emissions standards for cars and light trucks sold between 2022 and 2031, requiring automakers to build vehicles that use less gas and produce fewer greenhouse gases. The rule aims to reduce pollution, save drivers money on fuel, and address climate change.
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards: Anti-Ejection Glazing for Bus Portals; Mandatory Applicability Beginning October 30, 2027
Starting in October 2027, all buses must have special safety glass on windows and doors designed to keep passengers from being thrown out during accidents. This new rule aims to reduce serious injuries and deaths by preventing people from ejecting through bus windows during crashes.
The Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule III for Model Years 2022 to 2031 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks
This proposed rule sets new fuel efficiency and emissions standards for cars and light trucks sold between 2022 and 2031. The standards aim to reduce pollution and fuel costs for drivers while pushing automakers to produce cleaner vehicles.
Hearings, Meetings, Proceedings, etc.: Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards: The Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicle Rule III for Model Years 2022 to 2031 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks
This proposed rule sets fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks sold from 2022 to 2031, requiring manufacturers to make vehicles that use less gasoline. The rule aims to reduce fuel costs for drivers, cut pollution, and decrease America's dependence on oil.
Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule III for Model Years 2022 to 2031 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks
This regulation sets fuel efficiency and emissions standards for cars and light trucks built between 2022 and 2031, requiring automakers to gradually improve how far vehicles can travel on a gallon of gas while reducing pollution. The rule aims to lower fuel costs for drivers and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
Event Data Recorders
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is proposing new rules about event data recorders, commonly known as 'black boxes,' which are devices in vehicles that record crash information. These rules would standardize what data cars must capture during accidents and how that information can be used, affecting car safety, insurance claims, and driver privacy.
Uniform Procedures for State Highway Safety Grant Programs
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is proposing new standardized rules for how states manage federal safety grants used to improve road safety and reduce traffic deaths. These uniform procedures will make it easier to track how states spend money on highway safety programs and ensure they're being used effectively across the country.
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations: Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Speed Limiting Devices; Withdrawal
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is proposing to withdraw a previous rule that required heavy trucks and buses to have speed-limiting devices installed to prevent them from driving too fast. This change means the government is reconsidering whether these safety devices should still be mandatory for commercial vehicles.
Uniform Procedures for State Highway Safety Grant Programs; Technical Amendment
This rule makes technical updates to how federal highway safety grant money is distributed to states. The changes help clarify the rules that states must follow when spending federal safety funding on programs like drunk driving prevention, seat belt campaigns, and crash reduction efforts.
Recission of 1975 Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is eliminating a set of procedures from 1975 that required the agency to carefully review how new car regulations might affect the environment. This change means the government will no longer follow those specific environmental review steps when making decisions about vehicle safety and emissions standards.
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard: Child Restraint Systems—Side Impact Protection
This regulation requires car manufacturers to improve child car seats to better protect children during side-impact crashes, when a vehicle is hit from the side. The rule aims to reduce injuries and deaths among children in accidents by strengthening how car seats handle these types of collisions.
