rates, revenues and expenditures, 

faculty salaries, and staff employed. The 

IPEDS web-based data collection system 

was implemented in 2000–01, and it 

collects basic data from approximately 

7,500 postsecondary institutions in the 

United States and the other jurisdictions 

that are eligible to participate in Title IV 

Federal financial aid programs. All Title 

IV institutions are required to respond 

to IPEDS (Section 490 of the Higher 

Education Amendments of 1992 (Pub. L. 

102–325)). IPEDS allows other (non-title 

IV) institutions to participate on a 

voluntary basis. About 200 elect to 

respond. IPEDS data are available to the 

public through the College Navigator 

and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. The 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) seeks authorization to continue 

its IPEDS data collection. Current 

authorization expires 6/30/2014 (OMB 

No. 1850–0582). We are requesting a 

new clearance for the 2014–15 and 

2015–16 data collections now in order 

to provide institutions advanced notice 

of changes to the current data collection. 

Because the already approved 2013–14 

IPEDS data collection has not yet taken 

place, we are carrying over the 

documentation and estimated burden 

associated with the 2013–14 data 

collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
48432 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 153 / Thursday, August 8, 2013 / Notices 

I. What Information is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. What Do I Need to Know About 

PRA? 

An Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information, 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR), after appearing in the Federal 

Register when approved, are listed in 40 

CFR part 9, are displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers for certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

III. Which ICRs Are Being Renewed? 

EPA is planning to submit two 

currently approved ICRs to OMB for 

review and approval under PRA. In 

addition to specifically identifying the 

ICRs by title and corresponding ICR, 

OMB and docket ID numbers, this unit 

provides a brief summary of the 

information collection activity and the 

Agency’s estimated burden. The 

Supporting Statement for each ICR, a 

copy of which is available in the 

corresponding docket, provides a more 

detailed explanation. 

A. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPPT– 

2012–0915 

Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping 

for Asbestos Abatement Worker 

Protection. 

ICR number: 1246.12. 

OMB control number: 2070–0072. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2014. 

Abstract: EPA’s asbestos worker 

protection rule is designed to provide 

occupational exposure protection to 

state and local government employees 

who are engaged in asbestos abatement 

activities in states that do not have state 

plans approved by the Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration 

(OSHA). The rule provides protection 

for public employees not covered by the 

OSHA standard from the adverse health 

effects associated with occupational 

exposure to asbestos. Specifically, the 

rule requires state and local 

governments to monitor employee 

exposure to asbestos, take action to 

reduce exposure to asbestos, monitor 

employee health and train employees 

about asbestos hazards. 

The rule includes a number of 

information reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. State and 

local government agencies are required 

to provide employees with information 

about exposures to asbestos and the 

associated health effects. The rule also 

requires state and local governments to 

notify EPA before commencing any 

asbestos abatement project. State and 

local governments must maintain 

medical surveillance and monitoring 

records and training records on their 

employees, must establish a set of 

written procedures for respirator 

programs, and must maintain 

procedures and records of respirator fit 

tests. EPA will use the information to 

monitor compliance with the asbestos 

worker protection rule. This request 

addresses these reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 763, subpart G). Respondents may 

claim all or part of a notice as CBI. EPA 

will disclose information that is covered 

by a CBI claim only to the extent 

permitted by, and in accordance with, 

the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.32 hours per 

response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are state and local government 

employers in 25 states, the District of 

Columbia, and certain U.S. Territories 

that have employees engaged in 

asbestos-related construction, custodial 

and brake and clutch repair activities 

without OSHA-approved state plans. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 22,488. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 51. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

363,523 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$14,548,910. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $ 14,548,910 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

B. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPPT– 

2012–0916 

Title: Asbestos-Containing Materials 

in Schools Rule and Revised Asbestos 

Model Accreditation Plan Rule. 

ICR number: 1365.10. 

OMB control number: 2070–0091. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2014. 

Abstract: The Asbestos Hazard 

Emergency Response Act (AHERA) 

requires local education agencies (LEAs) 

to conduct inspections, develop 

management plans, and design or 

conduct response actions with respect 

to the presence of asbestos-containing 

materials in school buildings. AHERA 

also requires states to develop model 

accreditation plans for persons who 

perform asbestos inspections, develop 

management control plans, and design 

or conduct response actions. This 

information collection addresses the 

burden associated with recordkeeping 

requirements imposed on LEAs by the 

asbestos in schools rule, and reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements 

imposed on states and training 

providers related to the model 

accreditation plan rule. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 763, subpart E). Respondents may 

claim all or part of a document 

confidential. EPA will disclose 

information that is covered by a claim 

of confidentiality only to the extent 

permitted by, and in accordance with, 

the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 

40 CFR part 2. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 153 / Thursday, August 8, 2013 / Notices 48433 

this collection of information is 

estimated to range between 5.5 hours 

and 140 hours per response, depending 

upon the nature of the respondent. 

Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are local education agencies (LEAs, e.g., 

elementary or secondary public school 

districts or a private school or school 

system); asbestos training providers to 

schools and educational systems; state 

education departments or commissions; 

or state public health departments or 

commissions. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 133,507. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

2,487,439 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$91,829,253. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $9. 

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates 

from the Last Approvals? 

ICR number: 1246.12. There is no 

change in the number of hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the 

ICRs currently approved by OMB. 

ICR number: 1365.10. There is a 

decrease of 105,449 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This decrease 

reflects EPA’s reduced estimate of the 

number of schools containing friable 

asbestos-containing materials. This 

change is an adjustment. 

V. What is the Next Step in the Process 

for these ICRs? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICRs as 

appropriate. The final ICR packages will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICRs to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about the ICRs or the approval 

process, please contact the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER
