## Abstract

With this action, EPA is amending 40 CFR part 85, subpart P to modify the emissions standards applicable to imported nonconforming light duty vehicles and light duty trucks. Such vehicles will now have to meet emission standards that were in effect in the year the vehicle was originally produced, using currently applicable testing methods. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for this rule proposed a number of other changes to the imported nonconforming vehicle program. EPA will address these additional issues in a subsequent final rulemaking.
