QUOTE . . . Abatement proceedings
After completing the standard setting procedures, states would be expected to begin action to enforce the standards. If the air quality in a region falls below the air quality standards for that region and if the Secretary of HEW finds that a state has not taken reasonable action to implement the standards, then enforcement action would be taken at the federal level. After notification and 180 days, federal action would be initiated. I n the case of interstate pollution, the state's attorney general could take action in the appropriate US. district court o n request of the Secretary of HEW. However, in the case of intrastate pollution, such action would only be taken on request from the governor of the state involved. In either instance, the court would be required to make a complete review of the applicable air quality standard. I n making its judgment, the court would be required to make a complete review of the applicable air quality standards. Further, in making its judgment, the court would consider the economic and technical feasibility of complying with such standards. Registration of fuel additives
Fuel manufacturers are required to register, with the Secretary of HEW, any fuel additive contained in any fuel delivered in interstate commerce. The additive would be registered according to the following: Chemical composition, with an allowance for trade secrets. Recommended range of concentrations. *Recommended purpose in use of the additive. Failure to comply with this registration would allow the Secretary of HEW to prohibit the interstate transportation of any fuel containing the additive. Furthermore, violators would be subject to a penalty of $1000 for each day of the violation.
THE NEW PROFESSIONALMANAGER OF ENVIRONMENTAL FORCES We m u s t begin t o think of a new relationship i n which our technology, our society, and our physical environment are considered as one organic unity. The physical sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities m u s t plan their efforts i n unison. I believe we m u s t have new forms of education, new learning disciplines-indeed, an entirely new profession-to reflect i n practice the fundamental unity of man's life on this earth. We need a new type of professional-a manager of environmental forces. His profession would deal with technology in its total relationship to the human and natural environment. Its primary function would be to anticipate the possible effects of a new technology or a major technological innovation, and t o recommend practical and timely corrective actions. The manager of environmental forces would serve governments and industries at the levels of decision, counseling t h e m on broad problems involving technology, environmental, and social change. He would work with the United Nations and its specialized agencies where the problems called for regional or international consideration. He would draw u p plans for coping with problems already i n existence and destined t o reach crisis levels i n the future. He would hold these plans i n readiness, maintaining t h e m on a current basis for use at the appropriate moment. This new discipline would draw initially upon the elements of other major disciplines and professions. In time it would acquire its own distinctive qualities and its own centers of professional instruction. Eventually, it would become a major new force in education, bridging the physical and biological sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. Into each of the other disciplines it would also help t o instill a new sense of unity and purpose i n relation t o other fieldsfrom medicine and the law t o the sciences and arts. The development of such an educational force could begin in the United States, b u t parallel centers of environmental management should also develop abroad, since the success of the concept depends, i n the longrun, on universal acceptance. It should be a lifetime profession t o which the youth of the nation could aspire from their earliest years and which would require formal preparatory education leading t o a doctorate. Indeed, the process of breaking down the barriers among the disciplines and creating an entirely new area of study should extend into the colleges and high schools, and even the elementary schools. Whether or not students ever entered the profession of environmental management, as adults they would be able t o render more constructive judgments on the range of issues which affect technology, the nation, and the world. For these are the concern not only of the specialist b u t of every thinking inhabitant on earth.
