SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that, in carrying out title I of the
Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.), the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency (referred to in this Act as the
''Administrator'') has failed to--
(1) adequately consider alternative programs to centralized
vehicle emission testing programs, as required by section
182(c)(3)(C)(vi) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 7511a(c)(3)(C)(vi));
and
(2) provide adequate credit to States for the alternative
programs.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to require the
Administrator to--
(1) reassess the determinations of the Administrator with
respect to the equivalency of centralized and decentralized
programs under section 182(c)(3)(C)(vi) of such Act (42 U.S.C.
7511a(c)(3)(C)(vi)); and
(2) issue new regulations governing the programs that--
(A) result in minimum disruption to the ability of
States to comply with other requirements of such Act
(42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.); and
(B) provide States a reasonable opportunity to
comply with the new regulations and implement
decentralized testing programs.

SEC. 2. IMPLEMENTATION OF ENHANCED VEHICLE INSPECTION PROGRAMS.

(a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a
State shall not be required to implement an enhanced vehicle inspection
and maintenance program under section 182(c)(3) of the Clean Air Act
(42 U.S.C. 7511a(c)(3)) prior to March 1, 1996.
(b) Reassessment of Regulations.--
(1) In general.--The Administrator shall--
(A) immediately rescind the regulations issued on
November 5, 1992 (57 Fed. Reg. 52950), relating to
operation of the program described in subsection (a) on
a centralized basis; and
(B) during the period beginning on the date of
enactment of this Act and ending on March 1, 1996--
(i) reassess the determinations made by the
Administrator with respect to operation of the
program described in subsection (a) on a
centralized basis, taking into consideration
comments submitted by States; and
(ii) issue new regulations relating to
operation of the program described in
subsection (a) on a centralized basis or
decentralized basis, at the option of each
State.
(2) Requirements.--The regulations issued under paragraph
(1)(B)(ii) shall--
(A) in accordance with the intent of section
182(c)(3)(C)(vi) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7511a(c)(3)(C)(vi))--
(i) make reasonably available to States the
option of operation of the program described in
subsection (a) on a decentralized basis; and
(ii) establish criteria that a State must
meet in order to demonstrate that a
decentralized program of the State is equally
effective as a centralized program; and
(B)(i) provide each State a reasonable opportunity
to submit (at the option of the State) a new revision
to a plan under section 182(c)(3) of such Act (42
U.S.C. 7511a(c)(3)) based on the new regulations, which
revision shall replace any revision to a plan
previously submitted by the State under section
182(c)(3) of such Act; and
(ii) include a schedule that provides States a
reasonable opportunity to implement any new revisions
to plans that they submit.
(3) Judicial review.--Notwithstanding section 706 of title
5, United States Code, or any other provision of law, if the
regulations issued pursuant to paragraph (1)(B)(ii) are
reviewed by a court, the court shall hold unlawful and set
aside the regulations if the regulations are found to be
unsupported by a preponderance of the evidence.
(c) Prohibition on Imposition of Sanctions.--Until such time as the
Administrator has carried out subsection (b)(1)--
(1) the Administrator may not issue a finding, disapproval,
or determination under section 179(a) of the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7509(a)), or apply a sanction specified in section
179(b) of such Act, to a State with respect to a failure to
implement a program described in subsection (a), or any portion
of such a program; and
(2) the Administrator and the Administrator of the Federal
Highway Administration of the Department of Transportation may
not take any adverse action, against a State with respect to a
failure described in paragraph (1), under--
(A) section 176 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7506);
(B) chapter 53 of title 49, United States Code;
(C) subpart T of part 51, or subpart A of part 93,
of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (commonly
known as the ''transportation conformity rule''); or
(D) part 6, 51, or 93 of title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations (commonly known as the ''general conformity
rule'').
(d) Full Credit for Decentralized Programs.--Until such time as the
Administrator has carried out subsection (b)(1), for the purpose of the
attainment demonstration and the reasonable further progress
demonstration required under section 182(c)(2) of the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7511a(c)(2)), the Administrator shall--
(1) deem that the emission reductions calculated by States
for inspection and maintenance under their State implementation
plans would be achieved as if the planned program had been
implemented; or
(2) if appropriate, consider the operation of the program
described in subsection (a) on a decentralized basis as
equivalent to the operation of the program on a centralized
basis in any case in which a State demonstrates that a
determination of such an equivalency is reasonable.
A:
Provides that States will not be required to implement enhanced vehicle inspection and maintenance programs under the Clean Air Act prior to March 1, 1996.
Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to immediately rescind regulations relating to the operation of such programs on a centralized basis and issue new regulations to allow the operation of such programs on a centralized or decentralized basis at the option of each State.
Prohibits, until the Administrator carries out such requirements, the imposition of sanctions for failures by States to implement such programs or specified adverse actions against States by the Administrator or the Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration.
Requires the Administrator to: (1) deem that emissions reductions calculated by States for inspection and maintenance under State implementation plans would be achieved as if the planned program had been implemented; or (2) consider the operation of the program on a decentralized basis as equivalent to operation on a centralized basis if the State demonstrates that such equivalency is reasonable.
