The materials in
this ICR fail to demonstrate the practical utility of quarterly
reporting of excess emissions or the need to report monitored
scrubber pressures less than 90% of the level recorded in
performance tests. In its next review of this standard, EPA should
reexamine these requirements. If the agency concludes that
quarterly reporting is necessary, it should provide data to prove
it. The agenc should also support its selection of the cutoff point
for reporting scrubber pressure.
