Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The burden has changed since the previous renewal due to the factors listed below: • The addition of GHGs to the PSD program. The requirement to issue GHG permits started in January, 2011. This addition requires some sources to obtain permits for GHGs only. Other sources, that prior to 2011 only had to obtain a permit for non-GHGs (e.g., a PSD permit for NOx), are required to either obtain a separate GHG permit or include provisions for GHGs in its PSD permit, depending on the applicable permit program's authority. This addition results in an annual increase of 0.8 million burden hours and $1.05 million. • The extension of minor NSR and part D programs to Indian country to fill regulatory gaps has increased the number of responses and the overall burden. Existing true minor sources have to register with their reviewing authority by March, 2013. In addition, new true minor sources must obtain pre-construction permits if they plan to begin construction on or after September 2, 2014. This program increases burden by 0.4 million hours and $0.09 million. • The addition of provisions in the PSD program that will allow full integration of PM2.5. This includes efforts of reviewing authorities to revise their SIPs to incorporate PM2.5 into the major PSD program. The hourly burden increase due to this change is 0.04 million hours; there is no cost increase.
