Abstract:
The burden estimates for this ICR reflect the requirements of the final Regional Haze Rule with respect to the scheduled events and activities in the implementation process.

The change in burden reflects changes in the activities conducted due to the normal progression of the program. In this 3-year period, there are 52 progress reports expected, while no early analysis is expected. EPA also expects 14 SIP revisions due to the second implementation period due date of July 31, 2021 (from 13 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
