## Abstract

Today EPA is finding the National LEV program in effect. Nine northeastern states and 23 manufacturers have opted into this voluntary clean car program and the opt-ins have met the criteria set forth by EPA in its National LEV regulations. This means light-duty vehicles and light light-duty trucks cleaner than those available today will be produced and sold starting later this year. The National LEV program demonstrates how cooperative, partnership efforts can produce a smarter, cheaper program that reduces regulatory burden while increasing protection of the environment and public health.
