The eventual CTI rulemaking will establish new, more stringent emission standards for NO x and other pollutants for highway heavy-duty engines. EPA last revised NO x standards for on-highway heavy-duty trucks and engines in January 2001. EPA is seeking input from the public and interested stakeholders.
