Title: NOX Budget Trading Program to 

Reduce the Regional Transport of 

Ozone. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR no. 1857.04, 

OMB Program Control No. 2060–0445. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2007. 

Under OMB regulations, the Agency 

may continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. An 

Agency may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information, unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, are displayed either by 

publication in theFederal Register or by 

other appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulation is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The NOX Budget Trading 

Program is a market-based cap and trade 

program created to reduce emissions of 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) from power 

plants and other large combustion 

sources in the eastern United States. 

NOX 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 NOX Budget Trading program was 

designed to reduce NOX emissions 

during the warm summer months, 

referred to as the ozone season, when 

ground-level ozone concentration are 

highest. This information collection is 

necessary to implement the NOX Budget 

Trading Program. While States were not 

required to adopt an emissions trading 

program, every State adopted the basic 

Federal model trading program for fossil 

fuel-fired NOX sources. This trading 

program burden includes the paper 

work burden related to; transferring and 

tracking allowances, the allocation of 

allowances to affected units, permitting, 

annual year end compliance 

certification, and meeting the 

monitoring and reporting requirements 

of the program. This information 

collection is mandatory under 40 CFR 

part 96. All data received by EPA will 

be treated as public information. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 41 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

tie needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Electric Utilities, Industrial Sources, 

and other persons. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

700. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

quarterly, and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

471,734. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$57,069,211, includes $28,278,800 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 11,335 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This is due to adjustments, 

including changes to the number of 

responses and the time it takes to 

respond to a particular activity.
