A public hearing will be held September 10, 2025, to afford interested persons an opportunity to submit written data, views, and comments regarding proposed changes to the Motor Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program Regulation. Beginning in 2026, the EPA will no longer be giving emission reduction credits for tailpipe (TSI) testing, emissions testing software companies no longer have the demand or interest to maintain the equipment for tailpipe testing, and manufacturers are no longer producing the equipment needed. The proposed changes to the regulation include removing tailpipe (TSI) testing requirements for vehicles with a GVWR of 8500 lbs or less that are model year 1995 and older and vehicles with a GVWR OF 8501 – 14,000 lbs that are model year 1996-2007 powered by gasoline/CNG; removing station, technician and analyzer requirements for tailpipe testing including gas calibration, leak checks, and hang-up checks; removing EPA emissions cut point standards (appendix C); and removing adjustment procedures for vehicles that are model year 1981 and older that fail an emissions test (appendix G).
When: September 10, 5-6 p.m. in the 2nd Floor Auditorium of the Weber-Morgan Health Department, 477 23rd Street, Ogden, UT, 84401
