fect on January 1, 2006. After a requirement pro-
mulgated under this section is in effect, a State
or political subdivision thereof may adopt or en-
force a law or regulation on tire fuel efficiency

tablishing testing methods for determining com-
pliance with such standards) not otherwise pre-
empted under this chapter.
(Added Pub. L. 110–140, title I, § 111(a), Dec. 19,
