Abstract: The NOX Budget Trading 

Program was 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 established as an optional 

implementation mechanism for the NOX

State Implementation Plan (SIP) Call 

and was designed to reduce NOX

emissions during the warm summer 

months, referred to as the ozone season, 

when ground-level ozone 

concentrations are highest. In 2009 the 

program was replaced by the Clean Air 

Interstate Rule (CAIR) Ozone Season 

Trading Program. The renewal of this 

ICR is necessary primarily because some 

sources in certain States are still 

required to monitor and report 

emissions data to EPA under those 

states’ NOX SIP Call rules. 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. 

Form Numbers: EPA form number 

7620–16. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

those which formerly participated in the 

NOX Budget Trading Program to Reduce 

the Regional Transport of Ozone and 

which continue to have reporting 

obligations under their states’ NOX SIP 

Call rules that are not duplicated under 

other rules. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory (Sections 110(a) and 301(a) 

of the Clean Air Act). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

EPA estimates that there are 122 former 

NOX Budget Trading Program units that 

will continue to conduct monitoring in 

accordance with Part 75 solely under 

the NOX SIP call. 

Frequency of response: yearly, 

quarterly, occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 57,586 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $8,066,616 (per 

year), includes $3,777,000 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

increase in the hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
