Hearings were conducted concerning amendments on Title V of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act. Title V was added to the act in 1975 when Congress enacted the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. It established the motor-vehicle fuel-economy program which has contributed significantly to achieving conservation in the use of gasoline and helping to reduce oil imports. The five amendments, H.R. 5140, H.R. 5260, H.R. 5944, H.R. 6908, and H.R. 6943, are aimed at providing some flexibility in the administration of the standards program. None affect the fuel-economy standards or the statuatory mandate to comply with them. The standards remain untouched.
