ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF MOTORCYCLE EXHAUST EMISSION REGULATIONS

The Clean Air Act gives authority to set emission standards for new motor vehicles. The EPA is intending to propose both interim and long term emission standards for motorcycles. The interim standards for 1978 vehicles are believed to be achievable with reasonable development effort and production changes. The long-term 1980 standards will require a more intensive development and testing program. This analysis considers the economic impact of the proposed standards.
