Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards

Title: Clean Air Act, Title V--Operating Permits Regulations-

Information Requirements Supplement, (EPA ICR #1587.03; OMB #2060-

0234.)

Abstract: This ICR is for an extension of an existing information

collection in support of the Clean Air Act, as described in 40 CFR Part

70 establishing the minimum elements governing the development of State

operating permit programs. Under this ICR, State and local government

permitting authorities and stationary sources of air pollution will

incur costs and burden. Permitting authorities have been working on

their Title V programs since the promulgation of this original ICR on

7/1/92. EPA has completed the majority of reviews of Title V programs

submitted by State and local agencies. State and local authorities must

provide EPA with the following: (1) Title V permit program; (2) permit

applications and proposed permits; and (3) upon occurrence,

applications for permit revisions and proposed revisions.

Under this ICR, owners and operators of affected sources must

provide the State or local permitting authority with (1) An operating

permit application every 5 years; (2) semi-annual submission of

monitoring or recordkeeping data; (3) annual certification of

compliance; and (4) upon occurrence, applications for permit revisions.

Sources must maintain all records that are representative of compliance

with the Title V program.

This ICR submission is only for a year extension to July 31, 1996.

During this time, the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards will

finish the development of the new Title V Compliance rule. A final rule

is expected to be promulgated by December 31, 1995. At that time, a new

ICR will be submitted to OMB for review, containing the updated burden

hour calculations.

The supplement includes burden estimates that will be placed on the

public and State and local authorities during the period of July 31,

1995 through July 31, 1996.

Burden Statement: Due to the completion of the Title V permitting

program development by State and local permitting authorities, this ICR

supplement represents the actual public reporting burden over the next

year.

Respondents: State and local governments and stationary sources.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 8,262,672 hours.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 34,324 respondents.

Frequency of Collection: Semi-annually, annually, upon occurrence

and every 5 years.
