Abstract: EPA is renewing an ICR for 

the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

(CSAPR) trading programs to allow for 

continued implementation of the 

programs. The information collection 

requirements under five CSAPR trading 

programs and the Texas SO2 Trading 

Program are reflected in the existing ICR 

as most recently revised in 2018. In 

2021, EPA promulgated an additional 

CSAPR NOX Ozone trading program 

which only includes sources previously 

subject to another CSAPR trading 

program reflected in the current ICR. 

This ICR renewal reflects all six CSAPR 

trading programs and the Texas SO2

Trading Program. Most affected sources 

under the CSAPR and Texas trading 

programs are also subject to the Acid 

Rain Program (ARP). The information 

collection requirements under the 

CSAPR and Texas trading programs, 

which consist primarily of requirements 

to monitor and report emissions data in 

accordance with 40 CFR part 75, 

substantially overlap and are fully 

integrated with ARP information 

collection requirements. The burden 

and costs of overlapping requirements 

are accounted for in the ARP ICR (OMB 

Control Number 2060–0258). This ICR 

accounts for information collection 

burden and costs under the CSAPR and 

Texas trading programs that are 

incremental to the burden and costs 

already accounted for in the ARP ICR. 

All data received by EPA will be treated 

as public information. 

Form Numbers: Agent Notice of 

Delegation #5900–172, Certificate of 

Representation #7610–1, General 

Account Form #7610–5, Allowance 

Transfer Form #7610–6, Retired Unit 

Exemption #7610–20, Allowance 

Deduction #7620–4. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Industry respondents are stationary, 

fossil fuel-fired boilers and combustion 

turbines serving electricity generators 

subject to the CSAPR and Texas trading 

programs, as well as non-source entities 

voluntarily participating in allowance 

trading activities. Potential state 

respondents are states that can elect to 

submit state-determined allowance 

allocations for sources located in their 

states. 

Respondents’ obligation to respond: 

Industry respondents: Voluntary and 

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

of the Clean Air Act). State respondents: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

EPA estimates that there are 953 

industry respondents, including 903 

affected sources and 50 non-source 

entities participating in allowance 

trading activities, and 27 potential state 

respondents. 

Frequency of response: On occasion, 

quarterly, and annually. 

Total estimated burden: 113,512 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $16,482,349 (per 

year); includes $7,095,827 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is 

decrease of 20,911 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due almost 

entirely to adjustments in the estimated 

numbers of respondents and 

transactions.
