First Responders’ Equipment Access Act

This bill directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to revise, within 90 days of enactment, its rules on national security exemptions for engines and equipment. The revised rules would let manufacturers request a national security exemption for engines or equipment meant for use by federal, state, or local agencies for law enforcement, disaster relief, search and rescue, fire response, or emergency medical services. Federal defense agencies and the Department of Homeland Security, including FEMA, could endorse these requests. The requests and endorsements would not need to state how many engines or pieces of equipment would be exempted.
