Senate Revises Clean Air Act in Broad Omnibus Change
The Senate passed a sweeping omnibus bill revising the 1970 Clean Air Act by 78 to 13, tightening rules in some regions while easing deadlines for auto emissions. It extends deadlines to 1979 for hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, 1980 for nitrogen oxides, and expands protections for clean air zones. House action expected next week amid lobbying from environmental and industry groups. President Ford opposed parts. The measure adds regions with cleaner air protections, strengthens penalties, and creates a National Air Quality Commission to study programs and potential aerosol restrictions by 1978.
