Abstract: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing revisions to the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). The revisions alter the universe of electricity generating units (EGUs) covered by CSAPR with regard to emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) during the May-September ozone season but do not alter any reporting requirements faced by an individual unit covered by the program. This information collection request (ICR) addresses changes in information collection under CSAPR associated with the changes in the universe of units subject to the CSAPR requirements related to ozone season NOX emissions.
