Point source reporting requirements for PM2.5 and NH3 are activated under the CERRFederal Register: June 20, 2003, Volume 68, Number 119, Pages 39682 |
| When the Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR) was originally promulgated in the Federal Register, states were not required to report point source emissions of PM2.5 and NH3 until EPA published an approved Information Collection Request (ICR) addressing point source reporting of PM2.5 and NH3. EPA has completed the ICR and received OMB approval and published the approval in the Federal Register on June 20, 2003 (68FR36982). The following statement is part of the Federal Register approval notice. "The approval of this ICR activates the point source reporting requirements for PM2.5 and NH3 found in the Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule section 51.30(e) (67FR39602, June 10, 2002) and establishes the applicable reporting deadline. As a result of this action, States must commence reporting PM2.5 and NH3 emissions from point sources beginning with the 2002 inventory year with the report due on June 1, 2004." |

CERR Final RuleFederal Register: June 10, 2002, Volume 67, Number 111, Pages 39602-39616 |
| SUMMARY: This action simplifies and consolidates emission
inventory reporting requirements to a single location within the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR), establishes new reporting requirements
related to PM2.5 and regional haze, and establishes new requirements
for the statewide reporting of area source and mobile source emissions.
Many State and local agencies asked EPA to take this action to: Consolidate
reporting requirements; improve reporting efficiency; provide flexibility
for data gathering and reporting; and better explain to program managers
and the public the need for a consistent inventory program. Consolidated
reporting should increase the efficiency of the emission inventory
program and provide more consistent and uniform data. DATES: The regulatory amendments announced in this rule take effect on August 9, 2002. |
