Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to prohibit the authority of each State to allocate quantities of water within its jurisdiction from being superseded, abrogated, or otherwise impaired. (Currently, it is the policy of the Congress that such authority not be superseded, abrogated, or impaired.) Provides that nothing in such Act authorizes: (1) the regulation of quantities of water or impairs or affects any State authority with respect to the allocation of water; (2) an action that affects any water right established by a State law, an interstate water compact, or a Supreme Court decree; and (3) an action with respect to other matters, including aesthetics not directly related to water quality. Declares that discharges into navigable waters will comply with narrative and numeric water quality criteria based on designated uses adopted in water quality standards. Prohibits State certifications with respect to discharges from regulating water use or quantities. Revises existing State authorities to incorporate the amendments made by this Act.
United States · United States Congress · 30 November 1994
Provides that States will not be required to implement enhanced vehicle inspection and maintenance programs under the Clean Air Act prior to March 1, 1996. Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to immediately rescind regulations relating to the operation of such programs on a centralized basis and issue new regulations to allow the operation of such programs on a centralized or decentralized basis at the option of each State. Prohibits, until the Administrator carries out such requirements, the imposition of sanctions for failures by States to implement such programs or specified adverse actions against States by the Administrator or the Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration. Requires the Administrator to: (1) deem that emissions reductions calculated by States for inspection and maintenance under State implementation plans would be achieved as if the planned program had been implemented; or (2) consider the operation of the program on a decentralized basis as equivalent to operation on a centralized basis if the State demonstrates that such equivalency is reasonable.

Requires the Office of Technology Assessment to study methods for implementing enhanced inspection and maintenance programs. Includes within such study an evaluation of the cost effectiveness of such methods. Directs the Administrator to republish the motor vehicle inspection and maintenance guidance document and incorporate the study's findings. Grants States one year from the study's publication date to submit or revise implementation plans with respect to the enhanced motor vehicle inspection and maintenance program.
