104 STAT. 2530 PUBLIC LAW 101-549—NOV. 15, 1990 the Secretary of Defense, shall commence a study and investigation of the testing of uninstalled aircraft engines in enclosed test cells that shall address at a minimum the following issues and such other issues as they shall deem appropriate— (1) whether technologies exist to control some or all emissions of oxides of nitrogen from test cells; (2) the effectiveness of such technologies; (3) the cost of implementing such technologies; (4) whether such technologies affect the safety, design, structure, operation, or performance of aircraft engines; (5) whether such technologies impair the effectiveness and accuracy of aircraft engine safety design, and performance tests conducted in test cells; and (6) the impact of not controlling such oxides of nitrogen in the applicable nonattainment areas and on other sources, stationary and mobile, on oxides of nitrogen in such areas. (b) REPORT, AUTHORITY TO REGULATE.—Not later than 24 months after enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Secretary of Transportation shall submit to Congress a report of the study conducted under this section. Following the completion of such study, any of the States may adopt or enforce any standard for emissions of oxides of nitrogen from test cells only after issuing a public notice stating whether such standards are in accordance with the findings of the study. SEC. 234. FUGITIVE DUST. (a) Prior to any use of the Industrial Source Complex (ISC) Model using AP-42 Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors to determine the effect on air quality of fugitive particulate emissions from surface coal mines, for purposes of new source review or for purposes of demonstrating compliance with national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter applicable to periods of 24 hours or less, under section 110 or parts C or D of title I of the Clean Air Act, the Administrator shall analyze the accuracy of such model and emission factors and make revisions as may be necessary to eliminate any significant over-prediction of air quality effect of fugitive particulate emissions from such sources. Such revisions shall be completed not later than 3 years after the date of enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Until such time as the Administrator develops a revised model for surface mine fugitive emissions, the State may use alternative empirical based modeling approaches pursuant to guidelines issued by the Administrator.". SEC. 235. FEDERAL COMPLIANCE. 42 USC 7418. Section 118 of the Clean Air Act is amended by inserting "GEN- ERAL COMPLIANCE. —" after "SEC. 118. (a)" and by adding at the end thereof the following: "(c) GOVERNMENT VEHICLES.—Each department, agency, and instrumentality of executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government shall comply with all applicable provisions of a valid inspection and maintenance program established under the provisions of subpart 2 of part D or subpart 3 of part D except for such vehicles that are considered military tactical vehicles. "(d) VEHICLES OPERATED ON FEDERAL INSTALLATIONS. — Each department, agency, and instrumentality of executive, legislative.
