The Air Resources Board will hold a public hearing to consider the adoption of a regulation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from vehicles operating with under-inflated tires. The proposed regulation requires that beginning July 1, 2010, all automotive service providers will perform a tire inflation service on all passenger vehicles that are brought in to a facility for service or repair. The automotive service providers would be required to indicate on the vehicle service invoice that the tire pressure service was performed and what the tire pressures were after the service was completed to verify compliance with the regulation. The hearing will be March 26, 2009. http://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2009/tirepres09/tirepres09.htm.
