  Public Participation

  
  
  • COMPLIANCE WORKSHOP
    We have scheduled a workshop to address the implementation of Tier 2 emission requirements for light duty vehicles, light duty trucks and medium duty passenger vehicles.
    
    The workshop will be held Wednesday May 3, 2000 at 10:00, at the Washtenaw Community College east of Ann Arbor in the Morris J. Lawrence Building.   We have reserved the meeting room for the entire day but the length of the workshop will depend on the number and complexity of issues raised.   A map to Washtenaw Community College is available at  http://www.epa.gov/otaq/ld-hwy.htm#cap2k.
    
    We plan to give a brief overview of the Tier 2 regulations, and to discuss certification procedures for early opt-in.   However, the main focus of the workshop will be to answer your questions about implementing Tier 2.  We therefore request that you submit your questions in advance to John Guy as soon as possible (guy.john@epa.gov).  We will take questions from the floor at the end of the workshop, time permitting, but to ensure that we can get to your questions, we prefer that you send them to John ahead of time.
