Page 20 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 7, 2022 EMISSIONS | FROM PAGE 19 has amended it many times to remain identical to the California LEV program. This latest amendment involves emission standards for Model Years 2025 and later medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and engines. “The transportation sector accounts for about 40 percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions statewide. Adopting California’s regulations will help to reduce air pollution across the Commonwealth and protect our environment and the public health,” said MassDEP Commissioner Martin Suuberg. “Adoption of these rules will also address environmental justice concerns in communities that are disproportionately impacted by medium- and heavy-duty vehicle traffi c.” Emergency authorization of the regulation was needed as the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) requires states that adopt the California standards to do so at least two model years before the standards take eff ect – in this case, January 1, 2022 – for vehicles labeled as Model Year 2025, which starts on January 1, 2024. The fi ling begins a three-month process towards making the emergency regulations permanent, which will include a public hearing on the amendment set for January 21, 2022, and a 30-day public comment period which ends on January 31, 2022. The emergency regulations adopt the latest revisions to the California medium- and heavy-duty vehicle and engine regulations. Those revisions include the following: the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Phase 2 Standards for Model Year 2025; the Heavy-Duty Omnibus Regulation, which contains a comprehensive set of emission standards and other emission-related requirements for heavy-duty vehicles and engines; and the Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation, resulting in ZEV sales starting in Model Year 2025 and ramping up through Model Year 2035, accelerating the market for mediumand heavy-duty ZEVs. In addition to reducing pollutant emissions, the regulations will lead to reduced fuel consumption and fuel costs and maintenance due to more fuel-effi - cient engines and vehicles and next-generation zero-emission trucks. MassDEP offi cials participated in a series of meetings on these rulemakings with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and joined CARB, the REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 BALASANTHIRAN, ALEXANDER TRAN, HOANG Q HORWITZ, CRISTOPHER GENNETTI-AYLWARD, KRISTIN LAMARRE, FERRY PARE, MICHELLE E BUYER2 SELLER1 RAMIREZ, EDWIN GARDINER, PAUL C SELLER2 26 WEBBER STREET RT HAKAM, SYED A KOUSSOU-AZIZET, EMMILIENN MAWHINNEY, GUY H Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management and other organizations to develop the new regulations. MassDEP also held two public stakeholder meetings in April 2021 to share information on these regulatory eff orts and to solicit stakeholder feedback. Vehicle emissions regulations are part of the Massachusetts plan to maintain air quality standards under the federal CAA and are a critical component of the Massachusetts Interim Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2030 under the Massachusetts Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA). Earlier this year, Governor Baker signed “An Act creating a next-generation roadmap for Massachusetts climate policy,” which amended the GWSA to require specifi ed emissions reduction limits for 2030 and 2040 and net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Last year Massachusetts was one of 15 states and the District of Columbia to set a goal of 100 percent electric truck and bus sales by 2050. Adopting these rules will accelerate the transition to medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles. Massachusetts will see many health, climate and economic benefi ts of the medium- and heavy duty rules by 2050, including: • Health benefits of $363 to $818 million from avoided premature deaths, hospitalizations for cardiovascular and respiratory illness, and emergency room visits. • Regional medium- and heavy-duty vehicle emission reductions of 51 percent for NOx, 23 percent for particulate matter and 53 percent for GHG.
