Abstract: The United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a Rule to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone that replaces the existing Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and includes new reporting requirements and combines these new requirements with existing requirements from the Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR), the Emission Reporting Requirements for Ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revisions Relating to Statewide Budgets for NOx Emissions to Reduce Regional Transport of Ozone (NOx SIP Call), and the Acid Rain Program under Title IV of the CAA Amendments of 1990. Each of these four existing requirements has an approved ICR in place. The current ICRs are: for the CAIR, ICR # 2152.04, for the CERR, ICR # 0916.13, for the NOx SIP Call, ICR # 1857.04 and for the Acid Rain Program, ICR # 1633.15.
