Purpose
This
document
provides
further
information
describing
the
proposed
changes
to
40
CFR
51
Subpart
A
and
section
51.
122
and
the
proposed
new
section
51.125,
concerning
requirements
for
emission
reporting
by
States
to
EPA.
The
purpose
is
to
facilitate
public
understanding
of
the
reasons
for
the
proposed
changes,
in
order
to
allow
public
comment
on
the
merits
of
the
changes.
The
information
provided
here
supplements
with
more
detail
the
summary
of
the
proposed
changes
contained
in
section
III.
B
of
the
preamble
to
the
Supplemental
Notice
of
Proposed
Rulemaking
for
the
Clean
Air
Interstate
Rule.

The
information
is
presented
in
two
tables.
Table
1
summarizes
in
a
broad
manner
the
reporting
requirements
that
would
apply
to
States
in
particular
situations.
Table
2
lists
individual
proposed
changes
to
the
rule
text
and
the
purpose
of
each.

Questions
on
the
proposed

may
be

that
"

not

is
required
by
the
existing

for
several
listed
data
elements.

However,
EPA's
current
electronic
data
format
does
not
specify
a
means
to
report
this
information.
Rather
than
list
these
as

in
the

in
Subpart

this
provision
allows
EPA
to
consider
the
need
for
this
information
each
year
and
to
specify
the
format
for
reporting
it.

To
make
clearer
that
this

Requirements
related
to

Rule
are
based
on
the
reason(
s)
each
State
is
affected.
For
example,

States
contributing
significantly
to
ozone
nonattainment
in
another
State
would
be
required
to
report
ozone­
relevant
data
like
States
presently
subject
to
the
NOx
SIP
call,
but
States
contributing
only
to
PM2.5
nonattainment
would
report
only
annual
SO2
and
NOx.
Note
that
under
the
existing
Subpart
A,
all
States
are
required
to
report
all
pollutants
for
winter
and
ozone
season
day.
The
proposed
revision
removes
the
requirement
for
winter
day
reporting
(
for
reasons
stated
in
the
preamble)

and
limits
the
ozone

day
(
now
proposed
to
be
termed

reporting
only
to

requested
regarding

requirement
of
Subpart
A
for
reporting
of
the
4
seasonal
throughputs
(
VMT)
for
highway

sources.
Current
data
reporting
format
does
not
support
these
data
elments.
Moreover,
knowing
the
four
seasonal
throughput
values
does
not
allow
annual
emissions
to
be
allocated
to
seasons
correctly
since
emission
factors
vary
by
season.
Therefore,
usefulness
of
these
data
is
an
issue.
If
highway
mobile
source
emissions
are
reported
by

or
if
inputs
to
the
relevant
emissions

are

these

would

redundant.
Are
these

they
