Take the following as truth: EPA states that it has taken into consideration the potential competitive impact on these firms and has eased the burden by permitting averaging emissions across product lines, reduced production line testing, reduced in-use testing, simplified certification procedures and allowing manufacturers to purchase emission credits from the market place as an alternative to employing control technologies to meet the standard.
Then the following statement: "The EPA says it has considered the potential impact of the factories." is true, false, or inconclusive?
