Abstract: EPA is renewing an ICR for the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) Texas SO2 trading programs to allow for continued implementation of the programs. The information collection requirements under five CSAPR trading programs and the Texas SO2 program are reflected in the existing ICR as most recently revised in 2018. In 2021, EPA promulgated the Revised CSAPR Update Rule creating an additional CSAPR trading program. This action moved certain sources from an existing CSAPR program to the newly created program and did not identify additional respondents. This renewal reflects the additional CSAPR NOx Ozone trading program.
