Summary: The Main Street Foundation’s Center for Regulatory Analysis and Engagement (CRAE) supports the EPA's proposed approval of North Carolina's SIP revision to remove the state's vehicle inspection and maintenance program. They argue that technological advancements and improved air quality have rendered the original justifications for the program obsolete, and that periodic reassessment of legacy regulations is necessary to ensure they remain proportional to current benefits and burdens.
