My understanding is that localities with particular pollution problems (or particular economies, such as corn <g>) opted for certain in collaboration with the feds. For others it was mandated. I recall it as a negotiated process with states, industry, the feds, etc. A mixed bag of local option and federal prescription.

As with most things where there is a choice over whether to have choice, there is overhead and inefficiency either way. I had though that, in general, the country prefered the inefficiency of choice over the inefficiency of one size fits all.
