Vote Data for S252 (95th Congress)


Date: June 10, 1977

Subject: EPA Air Standards

Description: Scott (R-VA) amendment to require the federal primary and secondary ambient air quality standards in clean air areas in place of the stricter non-deterioration provisions of the committee bill. This would have restricted the power of the EPA to control, through strict national air standards, state and local land use policies. It would have given states the right to set their own air quality standards (as long as they met a national minimum), while considering other factors, such as industrial growth, which would create needed jobs.

Result: Amendment Rejected, 17-71
