CORRECTION
 
In a recent story on the EPA's voluntary Performance Track Review program, we mistakenly described it as an effort to reward companies having the best anti-pollution records with less burdensome regulation. In fact, the EPA program rewards companies with poor anti-pollution records by allowing them to increase polluting. We regret any confusion caused by our error.
