GEORGE CLIFTON EDWARDS, Jr., Senior Circuit Judge.
In this case Ford Motor Company and the United States are litigating a question fundamental to the authority of the federal government to control the emission of air pollutants within the boundaries of a particular state.
The pollutants at issue are volatile organic compounds which are the principal contributors to ambient ozone. The site of this dispute is a Ford Motor Company plant located in Mount Clemens, Michigan. This factory coats vinyl products with solvent-based coating and emits ambient ozone from eight production lines.
