Abstract: The part 71 program is a federal operating permit program implemented by the EPA (or a delegate agency) for sources located in areas where there is no state, local or tribal program, such as in Indian country; offshore areas where the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and Deep Water Ports Act (DWPA) regulations apply; where there is a deficient state or local (part 70) permit program; and where the EPA has objected to a particular part 70 permit and taken over permitting because the state failed to adequately resolve the objection. Source respondents to this information collection are those sources subject to title V permitting that are located where the EPA or a delegate agency is the permitting authority (e.g., in Indian country, offshore [OCS and DWPA sources], and where there are unresolved EPA objections to part 70 permits).

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This change in burden from the previous ICR renewal is primarily due to updated estimates of the number of sources and permits subject to the part 71 programs, rather than any new federal mandates (i.e., changes in paperwork requirements for respondents). The 2016 ICR analysis overestimated the number of new sources that would get permits during the term of the ICR the previous analysis assumed 85 permits at the end of that 3-year cycle, while the current analysis estimates 71 existing permits at the beginning of the analysis (June 1, 2019).
