	Improve Air Quality Action to control air pollution and raise air quality standards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The bill directed the Secretary of HEW to conduct and coordinate research into the causes of air pollution and to produce a separate study on progress made in attempts by the auto industry to reduce pollution emitted by motor vehicles.
		Congress directed the Secretary of HEW to establish air quality control regions, called on the states within each region to form a cooperative air pollution control agency, and permitted the Secretary to set air quality standards in regions lacking such agencies.
		The motor vehicle provisions required an additional 35 percent reduction in hydrocarbon emissions and another 60 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions for model year 1995.

	Background Material: California's Air Quality History Key Events
		Federal Air Pollution Control Act of 1955 is enacted, providing for research and technical assistance and authorizing the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to work towards a better understanding of the causes and effects of air pollution.
		Direct regulation of air pollution by the federal government is provided for, and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is directed to establish auto emission standards.
		The Toxic Substance Control Act is established by Congress in response to an increasing awareness of toxic substances used by industry.

	CRS Report: RL30005 - Air Quality and Vehicle Emission Standards: An Overview of the National Low Emission Vehicle ...
		The Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-272) required the federal government to establish standards that limit the tailpipe emissions of each new vehicle manufactured for sale in the United States.
		While vehicle emission standards have become more stringent with subsequent amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1967, 1970, 1977, and 1990, the number of vehicle miles traveled has increased substantially from 588 billion in 1960 to over 1.5 trillion in 1995.
		However, certified vehicles may emit greater quantities of pollutants in actual use than the program's standards indicate if the regulatory issues of gasoline sulfur levels and the relative stringency of emission standards for light trucks are not addressed, both of which are discussed later in this report.

	CLEAN AIR ACT
		The "traditional" air pollutants are known to be causes and/or aggravators of respiratory tract problems, eye and throat irritation, asthma, impairment of some cardiovascular functions, and lung damage to name a few.
		Air Quality Criteria Documents for sulfur oxides and particulates were issued two years after the passage of the bill and criteria documentation for HCs, CO, and oxidants were not ready until 1970 and NOx criteria were not issued until 1971.
		Secondly, by explicitly permitting pollution, it institutionalizes a right to pollute and destroys the idea that the environment is a sanctuary and undermines efforts to reduce pollution to the maximum extent possible in favor of reducing emissions to the point of maximum financial benefit.

	clean air #1
		It established new primary and secondary standards for ambient air quality, set new limits on emissions from stationary and mobile sources to be enforced by both state and federal governments, and increased funds for air pollution research.
		This act also recognized the dangers of motor vehicle exhaust, and it encouraged the development of emissions standards from these sources as well as from stationary sources.
		Interstate air pollution from the use of high sulfur coal and oil also needed to be reduced; therefore, this act encouraged the use of technology which removed sulfur from these fuels.

	FACT SHEET: ALTERNATIVE FUELED VEHICLES (AFV)
		The CAAA of 1990 also specifies alternative fueled vehicle acquisition requirements for various types of fleets based mainly on the air emission attainment status of the area in which the fleet vehicles are operated.
		Air Force vehicle fleets and associated AFV requirements may be specified by the EPACT, the CAA, both, or neither.
		EO 13031 authorizes vehicle reporting credits, stating that the gains in air quality and energy security this Order seeks to achieve will be even larger if medium- and heavy-duty vehicles are operated on alternative fuels, and if "zero-emissions vehicles" are used.

	CRS Report RL30022: Summaries of Environmental Laws Administered by the EPA
		The Act establishes federal standards for mobile sources of air pollution, for sources of 188 hazardous air pollutants, and for the emissions that cause acid rain.
		Federal legislation addressing air pollution was first passed in 1955, prior to which, air pollution was the exclusive responsibility of state and local levels of government.
		Unlike the other NAAQS pollutants, ozone is not directly emitted, but rather is formed in the atmosphere by the interaction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight.

	10 GCA Chapter 49: Air Pollution Control Act
		(d) Air Pollution means the presence in the outdoor atmosphere of one (1) or more substances in such quantities and duration as is, or tends to be, injurious to human health, welfare, plant life, animal life, or property, or would unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment of life or property.
		If an authorized employee of the Agency, during the course of an inspection, obtains a sample of air pollutant, fuel, process material or other material, he or she shall give the owner or operator of the equipment or fuel facility a receipt for the sample obtained.
		The vehicle shall not be eligible for registration until all parts and equipment constituting operational elements of the motor vehicle have been restored, replaced or repaired and in good working order.

		The government has grown increasingly active in its efforts to impede air pollution over the past 50 years.
		Congress strengthened the government’s air pollution control powers in passing the Air Quality Act of 1967.
		The new law authorized $428.3 million spread across three years for federal pollution control, including $125 million for research into the pollutants released by fuel combustion (auto emissions included).

	EPA: Federal Register: Air Pollution Control; Motor Vehicle Emission Factors
		SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 130 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, EPA is required to review, and to revise as necessary, the emission factors used to estimate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NO) from area and mobile sources.
		In the case of highway vehicles, emission factors for these pollutants as a function of various parameters are estimated using the highway vehicle emission factor model, commonly referred to as MOBILE.
		Other aspects of the modeling of highway vehicle emissions that are not specifically included within the following discussion may also be briefly addressed in this workshop; however, the agenda discussed below is intended to illustrate the major areas of discussion for the workshop.
