Abstract: To provide general oversight and support to state and local I/M programs, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency requires that state or local program management for both basic and enhanced I/M programs collect two varieties of reports for submission to EPA. The annual report provides general program operating data and summary statistics, addresses the program's current design and coverage, a summary of testing data, enforcement program efforts, quality assurance and quality control efforts, and other miscellaneous information allowing for an assessment of the program's relative effectiveness. The second report is a biennial, and includes changes and impacts to the program over the previous two-year period. General program effectiveness is determined by the degree to which a program misses, meets, or exceeds the emission reductions committed to in the state's approved State Implementation Plan (SIP), which, in turn, must meet or exceed the minimum emission reductions expected from the relevant performance standard, as promulgated under EPA's revisions to 40 CFR, Part 51, in response to requirements established in section 182 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Act). This information will be used by EPA to determine a program's progress toward meeting requirements under 40 CFR, Part 51, as well as to assess national trends in the area of basic and enhanced I/M programs and to provide background information in support of periodic site visits and evaluations.
