At least 2% of all diesel fuel sold in Washington must be biodiesel or renewable diesel. This requirement will increase to 5% 180 days after the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) determines that in-state feedstocks and oil-seed crushing capacity can meet a 3% requirement. Renewable diesel is defined as a diesel fuel substitute produced from non-petroleum renewable sources, including vegetable oils and animal fats, meets the federal registration requirements for fuels and fuel additives and [ASTM](https://www.astm.org/Standard/index.html) specification D975. At least 2% of the total gasoline sold in the state must be denatured ethanol. The ethanol requirement increases if the Washington State Department of Ecology determines that this increase will not jeopardize continued attainment of federal Clean Air Act standards, and WSDA determines that the state can economically support the production of higher ethanol blends. All state agencies with jurisdiction over renewable fuel infrastructure, specifically storage, blending, and dispensing equipment, are required to expedite related application and permitting processes. The governor may suspend these requirements by Executive Order if the standard is temporarily technically or economically infeasible, or poses a significant risk to public safety. For more information, see the Washington State Department of Ecology's [Clean Fuel Standard](https://ecology.wa.gov/air-climate/reducing-greenhouse-gas-emissions/clean-fuel-standard) website.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a final rule establishing the average fuel economy standards for Model Year (MY) 2011 passenger cars and light trucks. The new standards will raise the industry-wide combined average to 27.3 miles per gallon (mpg), as estimated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is an increase of 2 mpg over the 2010 model year average. The standards will save an estimated 887 million gallons of fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 8.3 million metric tons. The MY 2011 standards will use an attribute-based system, which sets fuel economy standards for individual vehicle models based on size. DOT is working on a multi-year fuel economy plan to ensure that the industry-wide combined average of all new passenger cars and light trucks is not less than 35 miles per gallon by MY 2020. This plan will include an evaluation of fuel saving technologies, market conditions, and future product plans from the manufacturers. DOT will to coordinate with interested stakeholders and other federal agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. *The U.S. Department of Energy is evaluating all records in accordance with current laws, regulations, and administrative directives.

A low-speed vehicle is defined as a four-wheeled vehicle propelled by an electric motor, combustion-driven motor, or a combination of the two and designed to operate at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour (mph). Low-speed vehicles may operate on roads with posted speed limits of up to 35 mph provided that the vehicle has not been modified to increase its speed above the original standard manufactured limit. Low-speed vehicles may only cross roads with posted speed limits above 35 mph if the intersection is equipped with a traffic signal. Low-speed vehicles must display a vehicle identification number; be titled, registered, and insured as motor vehicles; and meet safety standards specified in Title 49 of the [Code of Federal Regulations](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/uscode), section 571.500.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a proposed rule to require mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from large sources in the U.S. that emit at least 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. Under the proposal, manufacturers of motor vehicles and engines would be require to report GHG emission rates of new vehicles and engines beginning with Model Year 2011 at the same time and through the same process they currently follow for criteria pollutant emission certification and, where appropriate, fuel economy reporting. The purpose of the rule is to collect comprehensive and accurate data on GHG emissions that can be used to inform future policy decisions. EPA expects that the rule will cover 85-90% of total national GHG emissions.
