EPA needs to
amend the regulations to replace quarterly excess emissions reports
with semiannul reports. Effective 1/30/89 - OMB approves this ICR 6
months only in order 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
proived adequate justification for this frequency.
