      D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the Governor may at any time determine in writing that the requirements of federal law or regulation or changes in emissions by motor vehicles or other sources of air pollution in the localities mentioned in subsection C of this section warrant the adoption of an enhanced test only emissions inspection program consistent with regulations promulgated in accordance with Title I of the federal Clean Air Act. In that event, he shall direct the Board pursuant to its authority under this section and §§ 46.2-1179 and 46.2-1180 to adopt regulations to implement a test only program for those localities to replace any test and repair programs adopted hereunder. Such test only program shall be implemented as soon as practicable and shall be implemented as soon as practicable and economically feasible after its approval by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

      Any regulations in effect at the time this section becomes effective shall remain in effect until the Board promulgates new regulations in accordance with this section.
