Star program replaced all gold shield stations this year I believe. It's been harder and harder to get "smogs" done. Since your a 01 it should be easier. I've seen videos of people that pass with lts and no cats out here since they changed the test for newer cars.

I read about that they only check readyness codes for 00 and newer. I still need to get my cel codes deleted from the PCM since I removed the AIR and rear o2 sensors then.

Do a search on this forum under "Star Stations" or "Star programs". The "Star Program", even though effective by law 01-01-2013 has been tentatively delayed.

I believe that "Heavymetals" knows the most about this.
I personally would look for a "Star rated Station".
Or a gold seal station if your car is listed as that being acceptable.

Not necessarily for the OP, but for everybody in general,:
