CLEANUP Act Compensating Losses to the Environment from Automobiles with Noxious Undisclosed Pollution Act of 2016 This bill directs the Department of the Treasury to deny Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) credits to any automobile manufacturer that circumvents emission control requirements to obtain CAFE credits unlawfully. Manufacturers earn CAFE credits when the average fuel economy for a given annual fleet of vehicles exceeds the minimal required CAFE standards. Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is authorized to collect additional penalties from manufacturers that obtain CAFE credits unlawfully. The bill also establishes an Air Quality Restoration Trust Fund funded with deposits from penalties NHTSA collects from manufacturers under this bill. The fund must be used solely for providing grants to support specific programs that restore and improve air quality.
