Dear Stewards,

As required by the Amended Regulation 84/03, OTS has undertaken the 2014 Tire Stewardship Fee (TSF) calculation using the actual 2013 tire supply figures and Used Tires Program (UTP) costs. The product of this calculation is then applied to determine the applicable TSF rates to be remitted by Stewards when reporting the supply of tires according to the Tire Classifications set-out in the Tire Classification document posted on the Tire Stewardship Fee page. Note that the Tire Classifications are unchanged from those currently in use.

These new TSF rates will be implemented effective May 1^st, 2014. Please note that the Passenger & Light Truck (PLT) rate decrease is the only change to previous rates. Any tires supplied into the Ontario market as of May 1^st, 2014 must be reported by Stewards according to the Tire Categories and TSF rates outlined in the table below, which is also available on the Tire Stewardship Fee page.

Please do not hesitate to contact OTS with any questions regarding these revisions either by e-mail at contact OTS at info@rethinktires.ca or by phone at 1-888-687-2202. We look forward to working with you to continue to deliver the Ontario Used Tires Program successfully.

Regards,
