The Feds require that states conduct emissions tests only in those counties with pollution measuring higher than some limit. IIRC New York does NOT have state-wide emissions testing. I believe it's only required in Orange, Westchester, Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk and NYC.

Massachusetts requires emissions tests every other year state-wide, because all 14 counties are on the Fed's list. (Funny how Berkshire county is on the list, and adjoining counties in New York, Vermont and Connecticut aren't.)
