Disapprove/Continue. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) and 5 CFR 1320, OMB cannot approve the addition of NOx
increments to the existing Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(PSD)/New Source Review (NSR) information collection request (ICR).
On February 8, 1988, EPA published a proposed rulemaking to
establish a PSD program for NOx. The notice proposed an increment
scheme similar to that established by congress for PM and SO2. The
notice solicited comment on the appropriate PSD increment for NOx
and other regulatory schemes that would satify the congressional
mandate. Until a final PSD program is selected, OMB cannot
determine if the information collection meets the requirements of
the PRA and 5 CFR 1320. Thus it would be premature for OMB to
approve this ICR at this time.
