“The introduction of ULSD is absolutely essential” to diesel engines redesigned to meet the EPA emission regulations scheduled to take effect in 2007 and 2010, said Jeffrey Holmstead, EPA’s assistant administrator for air and radiation.
“Questions have come up whether EPA will delay the deadline,” Holmstead said. “The answer is ‘no.’ ”
