Proposal to loosen Clean Air Act faces clash
The Reagan administration proposed broad revisions to the Clean Air Act claiming potential saving of up to $100 on each new car. Environmentalists and lawmakers criticized vagueness while business groups welcomed reduced restrictions. The plan would loosen auto standards, allow state control, and drop deadlines in some areas, but retain health-based standards.

Illinois coal officials warn the Rea administration plan to amend the Clean Air Act could hurt the industry. Taylor Pensoneau of the Illinois Coal Association says the administration seems to back burning low-sulfur Illinois coal in new plants without costly scrubbers. He fears some plants may switch from high-sulfur coal to Western low-sulfur coal.

He demanded the $850,000 drilling project resume, a federal state local task force form, and a reversal of a Bureau of Mines decision while noting prior $3.5 million federal efforts and ongoing federal–state funding disputes.
