2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In Re Bean · in Re: Ainsley Bean“Although the ‘piggyback’ provision requires states to adopt standards identical to those in place in California to avoid preemption, there is no such identicality requirement for the mechanism employed to enforce those standards. Although the Clean Air Act requires an ‘enhanced’ inspection and maintenance program to reduce vehicle emissions, ... there is no requirement that the outpoints and other features of the program match those in California. Moreover, from a practical standpoint, it is understandable that Congress did not limit states in this way— enforcement techniques will necessarily vary from state to state.”
