## Summary

**Creates a federal task force to find safer alternatives to the tire chemical 6PPD and to protect waterways and public health.** The task force will coordinate research, testing, funding, and guidance while keeping vehicle safety and performance standards intact. - Families and communities: Focuses research on how 6PPD and its breakdown product 6PPD-Q affect coho salmon, other aquatic life, water quality, and possible human health risks so local leaders get clearer information and mitigation options. - Researchers, tire makers, and governments: Requires data and information sharing, identifies federal funding opportunities, and recommends faster toxicity and performance testing to help develop and scale safer 6PPD alternatives. - Tribes and public agencies: Ensures at least four Western Coast Tribal representatives on the Task Force and creates an online repository with annual reports, technical resources, and best practices for Tribes, states, and manufacturers. The Task Force must meet at least three times per year and deliver a report within 180 days and then annually.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Coordinated research, testing, and mitigation: benefit, low. If enacted, the Task Force would share data across federal, state, Tribal, local, and academic groups to study 6PPD and 6PPD‑Q impacts on fish, people, and water. The Task Force would identify and recommend federal funding opportunities and support scientific validation and scale‑up of safer altern…
- Definitions for 6PPD and 6PPD‑Q: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would define 6PPD as N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine and define 6PPD‑Q as 6PPD‑quinone for the Task Force. These definitions would guide the Task Force's research and public reports.
- New federal 6PPD Task Force: benefit, low. If enacted, the Transportation Secretary would ask the National Academy of Sciences to set up a 6PPD Task Force within 60 days. The Task Force would be co‑chaired by DOT and EPA designees and would have to meet at least three times per year. The Task Force would send a public report to Congress wit…
- Task Force membership and appointees: benefit, low. If enacted, the National Academy of Sciences would appoint the Task Force members. Federal seats would include DOT, EPA, Agriculture, USGS, Fish and Wildlife, NOAA, NIH, and CDC designees. Non‑federal seats would include at least four West Coast Tribal representatives, at least four private‑sector…
- Task Force exempt from FACA rules: mixed, low. If enacted, the Federal Advisory Committee Act would not apply to the 6PPD Task Force. This would let the Task Force operate without standard FACA public‑notice and recordkeeping rules. It would make the group more flexible but would reduce some procedural transparency that FACA normally requires.
