Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Clean Air Act allows the federal government to impose penalties on nonattainment areas that fail to develop and implement an adequate plan to attain the national standard for air quality. These penalties can include limits on the use of federal highway funds and limits on drinking-water hookups. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer. Choices A and B are both incorrect because the federal government can impose penalties, and the penalty for failing to develop an adequate plan is specifically limits on federal highway funds. Choice C is also incorrect as it is not a penalty authorized under the Clean Air Act for nonattainment areas.
