NOx maximum threshold is x concentration

How does Montana deal with that... they don't have to.

How does LA deal with that; is up to them to balance their needs and capabilities to achieve the standard. Of course, it's a maximum threshold so local regulation may be more stringent already.

The beauty is that all relevant federal law for NOx limits are self-contained. No thumbing through a 1300 page law to see what relevant part is there.

I'm revising my idea to say that a change always supersedes the previous document. We don't want a document that has to cross-reference a bunch of other documents.
