There are several places in the Clean Air Act like this. The reason is because back when the CAA was being drafted, California was already tackling air pollution problems (due to nasty smog in L.A.) with its own laws. Rather than override what California had already done, the CAA adopted a split strategy. Under the CAA, California has the right to set its own air pollution related regulations that are stricter than those in the CAA. Other states then have the option of adopting either the California version or the general U.S. version. Many northeastern states have adopted California's regs. Car manufacturers (and business interests in general) were very concerned that there would be different requirements in every state, and this split was a compromise.
Incidentally, now that the Supreme Court has asserted that greenhouse gases are indeed pollutants that can and should be regulated under the CAA, California is developing regulations to curb CO2. Northeastern states are expected to follow suit.

Yeah, as a lefty, I can report that Zelda is perfectly playable by southpaws. I hold the nunchuck in my right hand and that seems to work well. There is a bit of an adjustment because the analog stick (used to control Link's movement) is then in the right hand and thus backwards from every controller I grew up with. The Wii system is actually great for lefties because you get a choice.
Advertising isn't the only use for an animated GIF on the web.
For example, animations of satellite images are very useful for seeing temporal patterns.
This page shows an animation of images taken every 30 minutes over Northeastern U.S. and Canada during a major forest fire.
Careful! The site sucks in general.

Is there a better way than GIFs to show these animations on the web?
