## Abstract

This rule amends NHTSA's consumer information regulations on uniform tire quality grading by reducing the fee for the purchase of treadwear course monitoring tires that are sold by the agency at its Uniform Tire Quality Grading Test Facility in San Angelo, Texas. The purchase fee has been reduced to eliminate charges for testing the tires to establish their base course wear rate. This testing will no longer be performed by NHTSA in view of the agency's decision to fix the base course wear rate at its current value for all course monitoring tires that are sold in the future.
