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.
