The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has pushed back its projected release of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for Tier 3 light-duty vehicle emission and fuel standards to July 2012. Earlier, the projected date was March 2012. The Tier 3 standards will succeed the current Tier 2 requirements. Earlier post.)
