Replacement Tire Efficiency Program - EIR Scoping Meeting

In accordance with California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15082, California Energy Commission (CEC) staff has prepared this Notice of Preparation (NOP) to inform the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and each responsible and trustee agency that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared for the Replacement Tire Efficiency Program (RTEP) proposed for the state of California. The proposed RTEP constitutes the “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The project consists of a program and regulations designed to ensure that replacement tires sold in California are, to the extent feasible, at least as energy efficient as the tires sold as original equipment on passenger cars and light-duty trucks. The RTEP regulations would be applicable to the entire state of California.

The CEC is requesting your agency’s comments on the scope of the EIR to be prepared. The purpose of this Notice of Preparation is to solicit the views of the public, government agencies, and organizations as to the scope and content of the environmental information and analysis, including the significant environmental issues and reasonable alternatives and mitigation measures specifically associated with the proposed project that should be included in the EIR.
