It is the California emissions car. That may have been a municipal service car as well.
To remove it you need to swap or Flash the PCM. You need to fill the holes in the heads. Otherwise enjoy the low emissions.

Definitely not a PA emissions thing, the only thing they do for emissions is pressure check the gas cap here. I think PA has the easiest emissions to pass. Some less populated areas don't even require it.
