The United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to revise certain provisions
of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). The proposed
revisions would alter the universe of electricity generating units
(EGUs) covered by the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Trading Program but
would not alter any reporting requirements faced by an individual
UNIT covered by the program. This information collection request
(ICR) addresses changes in information collection under CSAPR
associated with the proposed changes in the universe of units
subject to the CSAPR NOX Ozone Season Trading Program.
The reason for the decrease in
burden estimated in this ICR is that the proposed rule would
decrease the universe of respondents subject to information
collection requirements under the existing CSAPR ICR and would not
impose any new substantive information collection requirements on
any respondents.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
