OMB approves
this ICR for 6 months only in order to provide time for EPA to
answer the following questions: 1. Why is it necessary to compute a
conversion factor 3 times daily? 2. What is the cost and burden of
the emissions monitoring requirements? (This should have been
included in the burden estimate.) 3. Why does EPA require excess
emissions reports every 3 months? EPA has studied this issue, but
has not provided adequate justification for this frequency.
