Abstract: The time period covered in this ICR is the 3 years after promulgation (mid-1999 to mid-2002). While relatively few requirements of the regulation are triggered during this time period, some optional activities may begin in this time period in order to meet deadlines that occur after this time period. Primary activities subject to analysis in this ICR include beginning efforts by nine western States who choose to prepare a SIP to meet the optional requirements of 309(d), which are due by December of 2003, rather than the requirements of section 308, which are due either 1 or 3 years after PM 2.5 desginations.
