The Steel Industry Compliance Extension Act of 1981 giving iron and steel facilities three more years to meet emission standards was the only substantive change in the Clean Air Act during 1981. Legal action developing during the year dealt with the designation of air-quality-control regions, the establishment of and determination of compliance with national ambient air-quality standards, the adequacy of state implementation plans and state plan revisions, new source performance standards, new source permitting, enforcement, standards, Title II cases, and performance warranties. There was a decline in Environmental Protection Agency regulatory actions in accordance with the administration's promise to relieve affected industries. (DCK)
