Abstract:
The Paperwork Reduction Act requires the information found in this Information Collection Request (ICR) number 2236.04, to assess the burden (in hours and dollars) of the renewal of the 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard Implementation (NAAQS) Rule as well as the periodic reporting and record keeping necessary to maintain the rule. The rule was proposed June 2, 2003 (68 FR 32802) and promulgated in two Phases: Phase 1 published April 30, 2004 (69 FR 23951) and Phase 2 published November 29, 2005 (70 FR 71612). The preamble to the proposed and final regulation addressed the administrative burden in general terms. The preamble to the final Phase 2 rule stated that an ICR would be prepared (70 FR at 71692). In 2007 Phase 1 was vacated and all designated areas subject to subpart 1, part D, title I of the CAA were then made subject to subpart 2. Redesignations of these Former Subpart 1 areas to Subpart 2 Marginal or Moderate classifications were proposed in 2009 (74 FR 2936).

Short Statement:
There is an increase of 5,000 hours in burden compared with that identified in the 2010 ICR renewal currently approved by OMB (EPA ICR #2236.03) due to the following factors: o The burden associated with one remaining non-attainment area that may receive a mandatory reclassification is estimated to be the same as areas completing the initial SIP framework because of the work they must complete to reevaluate databases, emissions inventories, legal authorities, state rule development, publication and public hearing to comply with the standards. o The EPA's final rule of May 14, 2012 (77 FR 28423) assigning former subpart 1 ozone non-attainment areas re-designations under subpart 2, resulted in non-attainment areas with additional burden for completing SIP revisions. o However, the number of non-attainment areas has decreased as areas have come into compliance with the standards. o The number of non-attainment areas with SIP revisions required has decreased as areas have either submitted the requirements or the planning requirements have been suspended with a Clean Data Determination. The estimates have been calculated using 2012 dollars and some assumptions regarding overhead, O&M costs, and capital costs have been adjusted to meet current guidelines and common procedures for preparing ICRs.
