Legal question regarding OE and aftermarket

i think i remember hearing about a federal regulation that prohibits individual states from requiring the use of original (OE) parts for automotive repairs. can anybody point me in the right direction as to where i can find this?
thanks.

I know there is some legal requirement about cats.

This in regards about exhaust sytems?? You could check on NHTSB or DOT sites.

Having a cat do you repairs would upset PETA. Plus a cat for have one heck of attitude. Better find a talented a herding dog to do your repairs.

Only thing I know regarding Cats is it violates Fed laws to sell a used one.
