The original ICR for the urban bus
retrofit/rebuild program was approved by OMB on 7/22/94 for use
through 7/31/97. OMB granted an extension for use through 4/19/98.
The CAA Amendments require the subject urban buses to be
retrofitted to comply with an emission standard that reflects the
best retrofit technology and maintenance practices reasonably
achievable. EPA has developed requirements for pre-1994 urban buses
that are effective after January 1, 1995, that require particulate
matter reduction on all urban bus engines that are rebuilt or
replaced.
