Contents Notes
The National Enforcement Investigations Center conducted a motor vehicle tampering survey at two locations in September 1981 at the request of the EPA Field Operations and Support Division (FOSD). During the survey, a total of 399 vehicles were inspected at Houston, Texas and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Two sites which had been used in prior surveys were selected for the 1981 survey -- Houston, Texas and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Houston was selected to determine the effectiveness of FOSD's anti-tampering program that has been in effect for the past 2 years. Houston had been included in the 1978 and 1979 surveys, so it was possible to compare data from these two previous surveys with data from the 1981 survey. Chattanooga was selected to obtain an indication of any change in the rate of vehicle emission control device tampering at a site where there was no special anti-tampering program. Chattanooga showed the least change in the combined tampering and arguable tampering rates of three repeat sites in the 1978 and 1979 surveys.
