From page 264...
... 8 Recommendations The committee's recommendations are summarized below by topic. Preceding each set of recommendations is a brief summation of the important findings and conclusions leading to the recommendations.
From page 265...
... Recommendations 265 new emissions-control technologies that benefit California and the rest of the nation. EPA AND CARB TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC PRACTICES IN SETTING STANDARDS CARB and EPA have essentially the same starting point and motivation for setting new or stricter standards: attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
From page 266...
... 266 State and Federal Standards for Mobile-Source Emissions dards include CARB's biennial review of the zero-emission-vehicle mandate and EPA's biennial review of on-road diesel-engine standards. Periodic assessments will allow the standards to be based on the most current understanding of the science and technology.
From page 267...
... Recommendations 267 time between adoption of state regulations and their implementation: usually at least 2 years for on-road sources and at least 2 years for nonroad sources. A time limit of 2 years or less for EPA review would place the review process between the adoption of the standards by California and the time that the standards take effect.
From page 268...
... 268 State and Federal Standards for Mobile-Source Emissions dard. EPA would further determine whether the state action is consistent with the requirements specified in section 177 of the CAA.
From page 269...
... Recommendations 269 SMALL-ENGINE EMISSIONS STANDARDS Compared with light-duty vehicle emissions control, small-engine emissions control poses special design, production, and distribution challenges (Chapters 5 and 7)
From page 270...
... 270 State and Federal Standards for Mobile-Source Emissions cause costs are such an important element for understanding the impacts of state emissions standards, the committee finds a need for a comprehensive study of the costs of state standards. This study should include the difference in costs for the states that adopt California standards compared with costs for California, the distribution of those costs, and their cost-effectiveness.
