AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Transportation, working with the Environmental Protection Agency, to arrange within 60 days for the National Academy of Sciences to set up a 6PPD Task Force. 6PPD is a chemical used in tires that breaks down into 6PPD-Q, which can wash into waterways and is toxic to coho salmon. The task force would share research data, recommend federal funding to study 6PPD and develop alternative chemicals, share mitigation practices such as street sweeping and stormwater treatment, and post resources online. Members would include federal agency designees, Tribal representatives from the West Coast, tire and chemical industry representatives, state experts, an environmental representative, and a university researcher. The task force would meet at least three times a year and report to Congress and the public within 180 days and every year after that.
