REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED S TA TES


U0/1t00236


Pollution From Cars

On The Road--

Problems In Monitoring

Emission Controls

Environmental Protection Agency

Under its inspection maintenance and in-use-
compliance programs, the Environmental
Protection Agency has made little progress in
carrying out the provisions of the Clean Air
Act relating to the control of emissions from
automobiles actually on the road.


Seventeen States and the District of Columbia
have included limited inspection maintenance
programs in their air quality implementation
plans. Widely differing court decisions ques-
tioning the Agency's authority to require
States to establish inspection maintenance
programs have prompted the Agency to ap-
peal the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In-use-compliance programs enabled the
Agency to identify 12 engine classes--about
3.7 million vehicles--which did not meet
auto-exhaust emission standards. These pro-
grams have not resulted in the recall of any
vehicles for corrective action by the manufac-
turers because the Agency did not believe the
test data developed under the programs was
sufficient to legally support a recall.
