Abstract: The NO<INF>X</INF>SIP Callwascreated to reduce emissions
of nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) from power plants and other large
combustion sources.NO<INF>X</INF> is a prime ingredient in the
formation of ground-level ozone (smog), a pervasive air pollution
problem in many areas of the eastern United States. The NO<INF>X</INF>
SIP Call requires affected states to include certain provisions in
their state implementation plans (SIPs) addressing emissions of
NO<INF>X</INF> that adversely affect air quality in other states.
Although most large combustion sources affected under the
NO<INF>X</INF> SIP Callare also subject to monitoring requirements
under the Acid Rain Program or the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, this
information collection is being renewed because some industrial sources
in certain states are still required to monitor and report emissions
data to EPA under these rules, so we will account for their burden. All
data received by EPA will be treated as public information. The OMB
control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR
part 9.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities that participate in the
NO<INF>X</INF> SIP Call.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (Sections 110(a) and
301(a) of the CAA).
Estimated number of respondents: 376 (total).
Frequency of response: Yearly, Quarterly, Occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 156,640 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $25,058,685 (per year), which includes
$10,398,033 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 16,414 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increased estimation of
expected sources reporting under the NO<INF>X</INF> SIP Call. In the
previous ICR, the EPA anticipated states and sources to exercise a
newly implemented option to utilize less burdensome monitoring and
reporting, but fewer states than expected exercised that option for
sources within their borders.
