Background: The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) enacted new regulatory requirements for motor vehicles operating in ozone and carbon monoxide non-attainment areas. In the CAA, Congress imposed additional requirements on the Federal government to assure that government and Federal employee vehicles operated on Federal facilities located within a state motor vehicle I/M program area shall be tested, regardless of whether the vehicles are registered in the state or local I/M area. The program applies to government owned/leased vehicles ((CAA Section 118(c)) and employee owned/leased vehicles (CAA Section 118(d)) operated on federal facilities more than 60 days per year, regardless of the state where the vehicle is registered. Military tactical vehicles are exempt.
