Opis

Shortly after passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, a controversial US EPA mandate led to intense conflict between federal regulators and California politicians. The disagreement pitted EPA's required overhaul of auto inspections against California's desire to self-govern its test program - Smog Check. This book presents these struggles.
