6PPD Task Force Act
This bill establishes the 6PPD Task Force, led by the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency, to address the environmental impacts of 6PPD, a chemical commonly used in tires. The Task Force will bring together experts from federal agencies, Tribal governments, the tire industry, and research institutions to improve data sharing and identify federal funding opportunities. Its key duties include researching 6PPD's effects on aquatic species and human health, developing safer alternatives, and recommending ways to expedite their testing and adoption. The Task Force will also share best practices for mitigating 6PPD runoff and identify other exposure pathways, submitting annual public reports to Congress on its findings and recommendations.
