This book was released on 2001-12-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emissions inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs subject vehicles to periodic inspections of their emission control systems. Despite widespread use of these programs in air-quality management, policy makers and the public have found a number of problems associated with them. Prominent among these issues is the perception that emissions benefits and other impacts of I/M programs have not been evaluated adequately. Evaluating Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs assesses the effectiveness of these programs for reducing mobile source emissions. In this report, the committee evaluates the differences in the characteristics of motor vehicle emissions in areas with and without I/M programs, identifies criteria and methodologies for their evaluation, and recommends improvements to the programs. Most useful of all, this book will help summarize the observed benefits of these programs and how they can be redirected in the future to increase their effectiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the 50-percent penalty, also called a discount, that states suffer under the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Air Act enforcement for operating vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance (I&M) test-and-repair networks instead of test networks. GAO found that: (1) EPA issued the 50-percent discount rule after it found that test-and-repair networks were less effective in controlling motor vehicle emissions; (2) since issuing the rule, EPA has not conducted any studies to obtain new data on the effectiveness of test-and-repair networks; (3) 14 of the 23 states required to implement enhanced I&M programs have not conducted studies on the 50-percent discount, mostly because they implemented, or intended to implement, test-only programs; (4) the other 9 states did not conduct studies to assess the relative effectiveness of the two kinds of I&M networks; (5) California studied relative effectiveness and concluded that there was little difference between test-and-repair networks and test-only networks; (6) Georgia is conducting a study, and the preliminary findings lead Georgia to believe that it should suffer only a 35- to 45-percent discount for its hybrid I&M program; and (7) Congress enacted legislation to eliminate automatic discounts based on the type of testing network and allow states 18 months to study their I&M programs' effectiveness. GAO also found that EPA has allowed the states great flexibility in implementing enhanced I&M programs by: (1) providing I&M system models; (2) establishing credits for test-only networks, for states that require that only certified mechanics perform repairs, and for less costly testing systems; (3) relaxing performance standards for states that can still meet their overall targets for reducing emissions.
