EPA repeals 2009 rule linking vehicle emissions to health risks, removing basis for federal climate regulations.
On February 12, 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule repealing its 2009 Endangerment Finding, which had classified greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles as a threat to public health and welfare.
The move removes the legal basis for federal regulations on vehicle emissions and other sources, citing the Clean Air Act’s limits on agency authority and the "major questions doctrine."
The decision eliminates GHG standards for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles and may lead to legal challenges, potential state-level regulation, and increased compliance uncertainty for industries.
