In the two regions surveyed,GAO discovered that 68percent of the sources subject to enforcement action since 1973 were not in compliance withemissions limitations.  \nEPA depends too heavily upon_administrative,rather than legal,means to enforce ambientair standards,states GAO。  The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 call for judicial action toenforce compliance.  \nENERGY  \nThe House Interior Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment held oversight hearings onJan。25-26 on the federal government's nuclear waste management program.Federal agencyofficials,industry representatives,and environmental groups testified on issues relating tointerim storage of spent nuclear fuel and on the draft report to the President of theInteragency Review Group on Nuclear Waste Management.  \nChairman Morris Udall(Ariz.)called the hearing,saying,\"the safety and economic issuesrelated to spent fuel storage are broad and must be con fronted decisively by the Congress.\"Inparticular,the hearings focused on the need for away-from-reactor(AFR)centralized wasterepositories.Officials from the Department of Energy,Nuclear Regulatory Commission,and theEnvironmental Protection Agency told the committee that in their view,a safe andenvironmentally acceptable full-scale commercial AFR could be ready by 1988-94.The agenciesdiffered on the exact year.Industry,represented by members of the Atomic Industrial Forum,agreed with the agencles in that the technology exists,and urged for an immediate decision togo ahead with the first repository in a salt formation.  \nVarious environmental groups complained that it has not been proved that spent fuel canbe safely stored for thousands of years,as the technology is not yet adequate.In addition,they opposed the Administration's stand on federal supremacy over state veto when it comes tothe question of repository location.  \nSpent fuel is present1y stored almost ezclusively at the reactor sites,and someutilities report they are running out of storage room.  \n## PUBLIC LANDS\n\nBoth Sen.Henry Jackson(Wash.),Chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee,and Rep.Morris Udall(Ariz.),Chairman of the Interior and Insular Affairs Committeeintroduced,on the first day of the 96th Congress,bi11s dealing with the designation ofmi1lions of acres of Alaska lands.Sen。Jackson's bil1,s.9,is said to encompass,with a fewtechnical changes,the provisions of H.R.39 as it was reported out of the Senate Committeeduring last Congress.Rep.Udall's bil1,H.R.39,reportedly confirms and expands upon thePresident's recent protective act1ons in Alaska。Both Chairmen wi1l schedule early committeeconsideration of their respective bills.  \nAgriculture,Nutrition and Forestry  \nDEMOCRATS(10)  \nREPUBLICANS(8)  \nTalmadge(Ga.),Chmn.Helms(N.C.)McGovern(S.D.)Dole(Kan.)Huddleston(Ky.)Young(N.D.)Stone(Fla.)Lugar(Ind.)Leahy(Vt.)Cochran(Miss.)*Zorinsky(Neb.)Boschwitz(Minn.)*Melcher(Mont.)Jepsen(Iowa)*Stewart(Ala.)*Hayakawa(Calif.)Pryor(Ark.)*Boren(Ohio)*  \nCommerce,Science&Transportation  \nDEMOCRATS(10)  \nREPUBLICANS(7)  \nCannon(Nev.),Chmn.Packwood(Ore.)Magnuson(Wash.)Goldwater(Ariz.)Long(La.)Schmitt(N.M.)Hollings(S.C.)Danforth(Mo.)Inouye(Hawaii)Kassebaum(Kan.)*Stevenson(I11.)Pressler(S.D.)*Ford(Ky.)W","cbCairiioqXr1bOq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairiioqXr1bOq","pdf",1206033,"English","# AIR POLLUTION\n# ENERGY\n# PUBLIC LANDS\n# Appropriations","[{\"question\":\"What does the GAO report state about EPA enforcement of air-quality standards?\",\"answer\":\"It reports that the EPA has failed to adequately enforce national air-quality standards for stationary sources of pollution.
