What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2003– 

0053 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are units 

producing electric power which are 

affected by the Clean Air Interstate Rule 

(CAIR). 

Title: Clean Air Interstate Rule to 

Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine 

Particle Matter and Ozone (Renewal). 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2152.05, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0570. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on February 29, 

2012. 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 the Federal 

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 regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The United States (U.S.) 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

promulgated 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. The current ICRs 

are: For the CERR, ICR #0916.13, for the 

NOX SIP Call, ICR #1857.05, and for the 

Acid Rain Program, ICR #1633.15. The 

supporting statement references the 

burden analysis included in ICR #s 

0916.13, 1857.05, and 1633.15. This ICR 

renewal is open for public review and 

comment. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 77 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 

time 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1,221. 

Frequency of response: Quarterly. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

407,039 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$51,492,383, which included 

$26,329,380 in capital and O&M costs. 

This ICR incorporates the burden 

associated with all CAIR-affected 

sources, including those located in NOX

SIP Call States. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

To date, there are no changes in the 

number of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with that 

identified in the ICR currently approved 

by OMB. However, EPA is still 

evaluating information that may lead to 

a change in the estimates. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
