Abstract: Information collected as part of this information collection request (ICR) is used to issue operating permits and manage the CAM program. The operating permit program requires owners or operators of units that emit air pollutants to submit annual compliance certifications and monitoring results at least semi-annually, and to report deviations promptly, but no implementation guidance is provided within the operating permit program. The CAM program ensures sources that use active air emission control devices pay attention to those devices by monitoring their performance on an ongoing basis. The CAM rule establishes the requirements to implement that monitoring for the operating permit program in a cost-effective manner.
