(Docket No. A-2000-01), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Office of Transportation and Air Quality, 2000 Traverwood
Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48105; or by sending an e-mail to:
<nranprm@epa.gov> and
to President George Bush:
<president@whitehouse.gov>.
DETAILS:
New regulations contained in the EPA's "Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking on the Control of Emissions from Nonroad Large
Spark Ignition Engines and Recreational Engines," could mean
the demise of even "clean burning" recreational two-stroke
dirt-bikes, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and snowmobiles by
2006.
The BRC is urging its members to ask the EPA to create
separate performance-based emissions standards for four-stroke
and two-stroke motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and personal
watercraft.
Although we support reasonable efforts by our government to
reduce harmful emissions, the current proposal will
functionally ban legitimate use and manufacture of
recreational two-strokes. These new proposed regulations are
based on faulty data and will simply drive up the cost of
recreational vehicles.
Remember! The comment deadline is December 19, 2001.
Thanks for your time on this important issue.
