U. S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
Administrator's Management
Accountability System
Second Quarter t'Y 1983 Report
PREFACE
This is the second quarter FY 1983 report of EPA's Management
Accountability System. It reports performance during the previous
quarter on specific program objectives and individual management
commitments in support of the Agency's major goals. The report is
published each quarter by the Office of Management Systems and Evaluation
(OMSE) using information provided by Headquarters and Regional Offices.
During the second quarter, we revised the procedures for reporting
Regional information in response to suggestions from both the Headquarters
and the Regional Offices. Under the revised procedures Regional program
performance is reported primarily by the National Program offices in
Headquarters, with subsequent confirmation by the Regional Administrator.
We gratefully acknowledge the continuing assistance and cooperation of
the many people in Headquarters program offices and in the Regions who
have made the timely production of this report possible. We invite
continuing examination of this report and the goals, objectives, commit-
ments and measures contained in the Management Accountability System.
We would appreciate any suggestions you have for improving the System,
and invite~you to contact either Lew Crampton or Cindy Kelly with your
ideas.

REDUCING THE BACKLOG OF NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (NSPS)
o SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS WAS MADE DURING THE SECOND QUARTER TO IMPROVE
MANAGEMENT OF THE NSPS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:
- A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE SCHEDULE AND RESOURCES NEEDED TO
COMPLETE NSPS FOR THE PRIORITY SOURCE CATEGORIES WAS COMPLETED.
- MANAGEMENT REFORMS AIMED AT EXPEDITING THE REVIEW PROCESS DURING
NSPS DEVELOPMENT WERE IMPLEMENTED.
o A NEW MULTI-YEAR SCHEDULE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED THAT WILL MEET STATUTORY
REQUIREMENTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE:
- DURING FY 83, 16 PROMULGATIONS (9 ARE PRIORITY LIST NSPS) AND 21
PROPOSALS ARE SCHEDULED.
- AT MID-YEAR, 10 PROMULGATIONS (4 ARE PRIORITY LIST NSPS) AND 6
PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN MADE.
O AGENCY RED BORDER AND OMB REVIEWS CONTINUE TO CAUSE LENGTHY DELAYS:
- RED BORDER REVIEW AVERAGES ONE-TO-TWO MONTHS LONGER THAN ALLOWED.
- OMB HAS HELD TWO NSPS PACKAGES OVER ONE YEAR WITHOUT PROVIDING
FORMAL NONCONCURRENCE MEMOS.

SPECIAL ACTION SIPS
PROGRESS ON LEAD SIPs
o SCHEDULES FOR COMPLETING LEAD SIPS WERE NOT NEGOTIATED AS PLANNED.
ALTHOUGH ORAL AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED BY EPA AND NRDC, THERE IS
NO WRITTEN AGREEMENT IN THE NRDC'S LAWSUIT. THEREFORE, FINAL GUIDANCE
ON COMPLETING THESE SIPS CANNOT BE PROVIDED TO THE REGIONAL OFFICES.
O ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL GUIDANCE FOR PREPARING THE LEAD SIPS WAS PROVIDED
TO THE REGIONS DURING THE SECOND QUARTER.
O DURING THE THIRD QUARTER, A CONTRACT TO UPDATE TECHNICAL, POLICY AND
LEGAL GUIDANCE ON LEAD SIPS WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE REGIONAL
OFFICES IN THEIR REVIEW AND PROMULGATION OF LEAD SIPS.
PROGRESS ON 1982 OZONE/CO SIPs
o ALL REQUIRED SIP PROPOSALS WERE PUBLISHED ON FEBRUARY 3, 1983.
O SCHEDULES FOR FINAL ACTION HAVE NOT BEEN PREPARED. ROUTINE SIP
PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS WILL HAVE FINAL ACTIONS REACH HEADQUARTERS
BY JULY 3, 1983; PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER BY
SEPTEMBER 3, 1983.
- FINAL ACTIONS FOR PROPOSED SIP DISAPPROVALS WILL CONTAIN
SANCTION PROVISIONS. THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD HAS BEEN
EXTENDED AND ANALYSIS OF COMMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE
FINAL ACTION SCHEDULES ARE DETERMINED.
- FINAL ACTIONS FOR PROPOSED SIP APPROVALS ARE EXPECTED TO
OCCUR AT A FASTER RATE THAN PROVIDED FOR BY ROUTINE SCHEDULING.

PERCENT OF SIP REVISIONS PROCESSED ON TIME

- 91% WITHIN THE FIVE MONTHS REGIONAL TARGET.
- 84% WITHIN THE TWO MONTHS HEADQUARTERS TARGET.
O DURING THE SECOND QUARTER, 176 SIP REVISIONS WERE PROCESSED; 111
REVISIONS WERE PUBLISHED.
o MAJOR POLICY ISSUES CONTINUE TO DELAY SOME SIP REVISIONS:
- SEVEN NEW SOURCE REVIEW (NSR) REVISIONS ARE ON HOLD IN THE REGIONS
BECAUSE OF THE NRDC SUIT.
ELEVEN REVISIONS ARE DELAYED AT HEADQUARTERS FOR ISSUES DEALING
WITH NEW SOURCE REVIEW REQUIREMENTS, INTERSTATE TRANSPORT OF
SO2, BUBBLES, AND REDESIGNATIONS OF NONATTAINMENT AREAS TO

DELEGATION TO STATES
NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
O DURING THE SECOND QUARTER REGIONS SUBMITTED REVISED DELEGATION
MILESTONES, MAKING THEM COMPATIBLE WITH APPLICABILITY DETERMINATIONS
MADE DURING THE FIRST QUARTER.
O ALL REGIONAL COMMITMENTS WERE MET DURING THE SECOND QUARTER:
- REGION I ACHIEVED 100% DELEGATION DURING THE SECOND QUARTER AND
EXCEEDED ITS YEAR-END PROJECTION BY DELEGATING ALL APPLICABLE NEW
NSPS.
- REGION VII DELEGATED THREE NSPS TO IOWA.
O THE OVERALL DELEGATION OF NSPS NOW STANDS AT 91%. WITH THE ADDITION
OF FOUR NEW NSPS CATEGORIES DURING THE FIRST QUARTER, AN INCREASE
IN OVERALL DELEGATION TO 95% IS PROJECTED TO BE ACHIEVED BY THE END
OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.
O BECAUSE THE JOB OF DELEGATING THE FEW REMAINING NSPS CATEGORIES HAS
PROVED MORE DIFFICULT THAN WAS THE CASE FOR THE INITIAL GROUP, THE
OVERALL TARGET OF 100% DELEGATION OF NSPS THIS FISCAL YEAR WILL
PROBABLY NOT BE MET.
