This revision only incorporates the changes associated with the NSR revisions which will go into effect on March 3, 2003. This ICR is approved through October 2004, as requested by the agency. At that time EPA should, as part of its regular 3-year reassessment required under the Paperwork Reduction Act, evaluate the actual burden associated with the post-reform requirements and the program as a whole. In particular, EPA should provide a detailed assesment of the numbers of minor NSR permitting actions and their associated burden. EPA should also adjust the burden, as appropriate, to reflect the change in burden that will be incurred by sources during the period of time when the rulemaking is in full effect. (During the time period considered for this ICR, the rulemaking only effects Federally controlled areas, which EPA assumes covers only 38% of all potentially effected sources.)

This ICR pertains to changes to the New Source Review program codified in parts 51 and 52 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These requirements govern the state and Federal programs for preconstruction review and permitting of major new or modified sources pursuant to Part C "Prevention of Significant Deteriora- tion" and Part D "Program Requirements for Nonattainment Area" of the Clean Air Act, as amended. (ICR 2074 was published in the Rule - but the 1230.00 is actually the ICR for this Rule.)
