The United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a the Clean Air Interstate Rule to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone, which includes reporting requirements and combines these requirements with existing requirements from the Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR), the Emission Reporting Requirements for Ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revisions Relating to Statewide Budgets for NOX Emissions to Reduce Regional Transport of Ozone (NOX SIP Call) and the Acid Rain Program under Title IV of the CAA Amendments of 1990. Each of these three existing requirements has an approved ICR in place. This ICR is being submitted to account for the incremental burden associated with CAIR. The ICR details the additions and changes to reporting requirements associated with CAIR. These changes include: (1) changes to existing requirements for emission reporting under the CERR; and (2) the addition of reporting requirements to support emissions trading in States using the CAIR model cap and trade rules.
This change worksheet combines this existing Clean Air Interstate Rule ICR with the ICR for "Inclusion of Delaware and New Jersey in the Clean Air Interstate Rule" (2060-0584). The burden currently approved under 2060-0584 will now be approved under this ICR (2060-0570). Once this change worksheet is approved, 2060-0584 will be discontinued.
