An examination of the implementation of the Clean Air Act was undertaken in these hearings to determine whether any changes need to be made in the original Clean Air Act of 1970. Strategies for air pollution control were discussed to evaluate the soundness of the Act. Testimony was presented on the health basis of the Act, no-significant deterioration, costs vs. benefits, continuous emission limitation vs. tall stacks and intermittent controls, regulatory approach vs. economic approach to pollution control, and Federal preemption and National standards based on best available technology vs. health standards. Problems in meeting statutory requirements were considered for both stationary sources, transportation, and land use. Representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency testified on Title I, e.g., air quality standards, stationary source cleanup schedules, nondegradation, transportation controls, enforcement options, and air quality-related land use questions. Other witnesses included representatives of Federal, state, and city governments; industry; universities; private institutions and organizations; and utilities. A 130-page summary of the hearings, prepared by the Congressional Research Service, is included in the hearings. (BYB)
