DELEGATION TO STATES
O AS DELEGATION IS ACHIEVED JT BECOMES INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT FOR EPA
TO DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF THE STATE EFFORT. WITH THIS GOAL IN
MIND, OANR, IN CONJUNCTION WITH STAPPA/ALAPCO, IS DEVELOPING A
NATIONAL AIR AUDIT SYSTEM (NAAS) THAT WILL PROVIDE CONSISTENCY TO
REGIONAL OFFICE AUDIT EFFORTS. THIS SYSTEM WILL FORM AN IMPORTANT
FOUNDATION FOR EPA OVERSIGHT IN THE AIR PROGRAM OVER THE COMING
YEARS.
o A SURVEY OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED AUDIT EFFORTS IS UNDERWAY IN THE
REGIONS FOR SELECTION OF KEY AIR PROGRAM AUDIT AREAS IN FY 84.
o IN AN EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE STATE ENFORCEMENT OF ANTI-TAMPERING AND
ANTI-FUEL SWITCHING PROGRAMS, OANR ISSUED A REGIONAL GUIDANCE PACKAGE,
REGIONS ARE DEVELOPING SCHEDULES FOR NUMBERS OF PROGRAMS TO BE
ESTABLISHED IN FY 83.

PROGRESS ON LEAD SIPS
O THE NRDC HAS SUED EPA FOR FAILURE TO DEVELOP STATUTORILY REQUIRED
STATE PLANS FOR CONTROL OF AMBIENT LEAD LEVELS.
O EPA HAS ACTED ON FINAL LEAD PLANS FOR ABOUT HALF OF THE STATES, BUT
THE NRDC WANTS EPA TO EXPEDITE THE DEVELOPMENT AND APPROVAL OF
PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE STATES.
O ANALYSIS OF THE FULL IMPACT OF THE NRDC LAWSUIT HAS BEEN DELAYED
PENDING SETTLEMENT OF THE LAWSUIT. ONCE THE ANALYSIS IS COMPLETED,
GUIDANCE WILL BE ISSUED TO THE REGIONS AND SCHEDULES FOR SUBMITTING
THE REMAINING SIPs WILL BE NEGOTIATED.
PROGRESS ON 1982 OZONE/CO SIPS
o SUBMISSION OF REQUIRED SIPS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY ALL REGIONS.
HEADQUARTERS AND OMB REVIEWS PRIOR TO FEDERAL REGISTER PUBLICATION
ARE UNDERWAY. PUBLICATION OF ALL PROPOSALS IS DUE BY THE END OF
JANUARY.

PERCENT OF SIP REVISIONS PROCESSED ON TIME
O DESPITE THE TREND OF INCREASED NUMBER OF SIP REVISIONS RECEIVED EACH
QUARTER, AN EXCELLENT RECORD HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR TIMELY PROCESSING
OF SIP REVISIONS:
- 93% WITHIN THE FIVE MONTHS REGIONAL TARGET (OF 231 UNFINISHED
ACTIONS AT THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER, 15 EXCEEDED THE TARGET).
83% WITHIN THE TWO MONTHS HEADQUARTERS TARGET (OF 84 UNFINISHED
ACTIONS AT THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER, 14 EXCEEDED THE TARGET).
O SIP DELAYS ARE RESULTING FROM:
- HOLD UP OF ALL NEW SOURCE REVIEW ACTION BY NRDC LAWSUIT;
- CONTINUED OMB DELAYS;
- NEED FOR MAJOR POLICY DECISIONS (E.G., LARGE POWER PLANT SO2
RELAXATIONS, SHUT DOWN CREDITS FOR STEEL BUBBLES).

REDUCING THE BACKLOG OF NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (NSPS)
O AS A RESULT OF THE PED STUDY ON THE NSPS PROGRAM, OANR DID NOT SUBMIT
ITS ORIGINAL SCHEDULES FOR FY 83 NSPS DEVELOPMENT. REVISED SCHEDULES
WILL BE IN EFFECT (AND REPORTED ON) FOR THE SECOND QUARTER. OANR,
OPRM AND OLEC HAVE JOINTLY COMMITTED TO EXPLICIT EFFORTS TO IMPROVE
PERFORMANCE IN THIS AREA.
O BASED ON FY 82 COMMITMENTS (ILLUSTRATED BELOW) ONLY 3 OF 8 PROPOSALS
AND 4 OF 8 PROMULGATIONS DUE FOR PUBLICATION BY 12/31/82 WERE ACHIEVED.
THIS LEAVES 8 PROPOSALS AND 5 PROMULGATIONS ORIGINALLY DUE IN FY 82

ENFORCEMENT
O A DOWNWARD TREND IN THE NUMBER OK SIGNIFICANT VIOLATORS HAS OCCURRED
SINCE TRACKING BEGAN IN FY 82. HOWEVER, TWO-THIRDS OF THE CURRENT
INVENTORY OF STGN1FICANT VIOLATORS HAVE BEEN OUT OF COMPLIANCE FOR
MORE THAN TWO QUARTERS .
o AT THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER, MAJOR SOURCES (OF WHICH THERE ARE
29,552) SHOWED A 93% COMPLIANCE RATE (AN ADDITIONAL 2% ARK ON ACCEPTABLE
COMPLIANCE SCHEDULES).
o IN CONTRAST WITH THE APPARENT HIGH COMPLIANCE RATE FOR MAJOR SOURCES,
NATIONAL INSPECTION RATES ARE LOW:
48% OF THE LARGEST POLLUTING SOURCES (CLASS Al ) DUE FOR INSPECTION
WERE ACTUALLY INSPECTED;
- 68% OF THE SMALLER SOURCES (CLASS A2) DUE FOR INSPECTION WERE
ACTUALLY INSPECTED.
O IN ADDITION, THE RANGE OF INSPECTION RATES VARIED WIDELY AMONG THE
REGIONS:
CLASS Al
A LOW OF 13% IN REGION VIII A LOW OF 48% IN REGION II
A HIGH OF 90% IN REGION III A HIGH OF 89% IN REGION III
O THE REASONS FOR THE LARGE DIFFERENTIALS IN INSPECTION RATES BETWEEN
CLASS Al AND CLASS A2 AND AMONG REGIONS FOR BOTH CLASSES OF SOURCES
HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE PROGRAM OFFICE IS CONDUCTING FURTHER
INVESTIGATION INTO THESE QUESTIONS.

NPDES REPERMITTING
o EPA'S NPDES REPERMITTING BACKLOG INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY 1,175 MAJOR
PERMITS AND 9,000 MINOR PERMITS.
o THE BACKLOG IS LARGELY THE RESULT OF PAST DELAYS IN ISSUING EFFLUENT
GUIDELINES.
o OF THE 1,175 BACKLOGGED MAJOR PERMITS, 20 ARE FOR FEDERAL FACILITIES,
260 ARE FOR MUNICIPALITIES AND 895 ARE FOR INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES.
o THE OFFICE OF WATER IS CURRENTLY GIVING PRIORITY TO REDUCING THE
BACKLOG OF MAJOR INDUSTRIAL PERMITS.
O THE BACKLOG OF MAJOR INDUSTRIAL PERMITS VARIES SIGNIFICANTLY FROM
REGION TO REGION DEPENDING UPON THE DEGREE OF DELEGATION OF THE
NPDES PROGRAM. THE LARGEST BACKLOGS ARE IN THE INDUSTRIAL REGIONS
WHICH HAVE NOT COMPLETED DELEGATION (I.E., REGIONS I, IV, VI AND X).
O TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX INDUSTRIAL PERMITS (INCLUDING SOME MINORS)
HAVE BEEN TARGETED FOR REISSUANCE IN FY 1903.
o THREE INDUSTRIAL PERMITS WERE TARGETED FOR REISSUANCE IN THE FIRST
QUARTER. TWENTY-THREE (INCLUDING SOME MINORS) WERE REISSUED.
o REGION VIII PERFORMED PARTICULARLY WELL BY REISSUING TEN INDUSTRIAL
PERMITS OVER ITS TARGET. IN FACT, THE REGION MET 67% OF ITS END-OF-YEAR
TARGET BY THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

EN_FOR C EMENT
o THE DRAFT FY 1983 MUNICIPAL COMPLIANCE IMPROVEMENT POLICY WAS ISSUED
ON TIME.
o THE REGIONS ARE MAKING USE OF THE NEW AGENCY-WIDE DEFINITION OF
SIGNIFICANT NON-COMPLIANCE FOR DETERMINING COMPLIANCE RATES.
o RESPONSIBILITY FOR TRACKING POTW COMPLIANCE RATES WAS TRANSFERRED
FROM THE OFFICE OF WATER PROGRAM OPERATIONS TO THE OFFICE OF WATER
ENFORCEMENT AND PERMITS.
O AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF THE NEW DEFINITION AND THE CHANGES IN
TRACKING RESPONSIBILITIES, THE UNIVERSE OF INDUSTRIAL AND MUNICIPAL
SOURCES TRACKED FOR THE FIRST QUARTER DIFFERS FROM THAT TRACKED IN
FY 1982 AND FOR WHICH FY 1983 TARGETS WERE DEVELOPED. THE DATA
PROVIDED BY THE OFFICE OF WATER CANNOT, THEREFORE, BE USED THIS
QUARTER TO IDENTIFY TRENDS OR PROGRESS AGAINST TARGETS.
o THE OFFICE OF WATER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS AND NOTICES OF VIOLATION RESOLVED. THE
ENFORCEMENT ACTION MODULE HAS NOT YET BEEN ADDED TO THE PERMIT
COMPLIANCE SYSTEM. THE PROGRAM NOW ESTIMATES THAT IT WILL TAKE
UNTIL THE THIRD QUARTER BEFORE THEY CAN PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION.
