State and Federal Standards for Mobile Source Emissions
The National Research Council (NRC) convened the Committee on State Practices in Setting Mobile Source Emissions Standards in response to a request from Congress in its fiscal 2003 appropriations report for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to arrange for an independent study of the practices and procedures by which states develop separate emission standards. For this report, the committee was asked to assess the scientific and technical procedures used by states to develop or adopt different emissions standards and to compare those policies and practices with those used by EPA. The committee was also asked to consider the factors that caused states to move toward more stringent emissions standards and to consider the impacts of state emissions standards on various factors, including emissions, compliance costs, energy consumption, air quality, and human health. As part of its work plan, the committee was directed to consider the effects of California’s experience in setting separate emissions standards and the effects of California’s standards on federal emissions standards.
