https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/final-rule-federal-...
From 2009. This document amends the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on air brake systems to improve the stopping distance performance of truck tractors. The rule requires the vast majority of new heavy truck tractors to achieve a 30 percent reduction in stopping distance compared to currently required levels. For these heavy truck tractors (approximately 99 percent of the fleet), the amended standard requires those vehicles to stop in not more than 250 feet when loaded to their gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and tested at a speed of 60 miles per hour (mph). For a small number of very heavy severe service tractors, the stopping distance requirement will be 310 feet under these same conditions. In addition, this final rule requires that all heavy truck tractors must stop within 235 feet when loaded to their “lightly loaded vehicle weight” (LLVW).

https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/final-rule-federal-...
From 2009. On July 27, 2009, NHTSA published a final rule that amended the Federal motor vehicle safety standard for air brake systems by requiring substantial improvements in stopping distance performance. In response, the agency received eight petitions for reconsideration. This document responds to those petitions by correcting errors in a table published in the final rule, removing a testing specification, and adjusting the compliance date for a small number of vehicles the agency had not fully accounted for in the final rule. This document provides a partial response to the submitted petitions for reconsideration.
Draft Environmental Impact Statement, Appendix B - Air Quality and Climate Modeling Data PDF, 1.45 MB
https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/draft-environmental...
This appendix accompanies Sections 3.3 and 4.3 of the DEIS and presents the results of the air quality analysis for individual nonattainment areas. Each table provides the estimated reduction in emissions within each nonattainment area by alternative, for one pollutant and calendar year of analysis. In each table the emissions changes are presented for the proposed MY 2011-2015 CAFE standards, and also for the cumulative impacts of the proposed MY 2011-2015 standards and the potential MY 2016-2020 standards.
