Sounds more like they are just being really careful not to run afoul of federal fines. The law clearly says the clunker has to be crushed or shredded within 180 days. Could be that it's not worth the risk to some for the vehicle to inadvertently remain in inventory longer than is legal. Not that I really think the feds are going to be staking out junk yards.
Maybe the pick and pulls plan to shred what's left in 180 days... We all know how the government is about rules, there's a way to bend most all of them.
