Title: TSCA Section 402 and Section 

404 Training and Certification, 

Accreditation and Standards for LeadBased Paint Activities. 

Abstract: This information collection 

applies to reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements found in sections 402 and 

404 of the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) and applicable regulations at 40 

CFR 745. The purposes of the 

requirements under TSCA section 402 

are to ensure that individuals 

conducting activities that prevent, 

detect and eliminate hazards associated 

with lead-based paint in residential 

facilities, particularly those occupied or 

used by children, are properly trained 

and certified, that training programs 

providing instruction in such activities 

are accredited, and that these activities 

are conducted according to reliable, 

effective and safe work practice 

standards. The TSCA section 404 

regulations include reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements that apply 

to states and Indian Tribes that seek 

Federal authorization to administer and 

enforce state and tribal programs that 

regulate lead-based paint activities 

based on the section 402 regulations. 

The overall goals of the section 402 and 

section 404 regulations and the 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements found therein are to 

ensure the availability of a trained and 

qualified workforce to identify and 

address lead-based paint hazards in 

residences, and to protect the general 

public from exposure to lead hazards. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 745). 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. 

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 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to range between 0.4 hours 

and 79.6 hours per response, depending 

on the type of respondent. Burden 

means the total time, effort or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain or disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; develop, acquire, 

install and utilize technology and 

systems for the purposes of collecting, 

validating and verifying information, 

processing and maintaining 

information, and disclosing and 

providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Companies or firms that provide 

training in lead-based paint activities; 

companies or firms that are engaged in 

lead-based paint activities; state 

agencies that administer lead-based 

paint activities. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually. 

Estimated No. of Respondents:

23,433. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 440,813 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Costs:

$15,648,532. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: There 

is an increase of 49,639 hours (from 

391,174 hours to 440,813 hours) in the 

total estimated burden currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved ICR Burdens. This increase 

results from revisions in the number of 

respondents and/or the number of 

activities or events for which 

respondents must provide information, 

based on EPA’s experience since the 

approval of the most recent ICR. This 

increase represents an adjustment.

Title: NSPS for Asphalt Processing 

and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR Part 

60, Subpart UU) (Renewal). 

Abstract: Particulate matter emissions 

from asphalt processing and roofing 

manufacture cause or contribute to air 

pollution that may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health or 

welfare. Therefore, New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) were 

promulgated for this source category. 

The control of emissions of 

particulate matter from asphalt 

processing and roofing manufacture 

requires not only the installation of 

properly designed equipment, but also 

the operation and maintenance of that 

equipment. Emissions of particulate 

matter from asphalt processing and 

roofing manufacture are the result of 

materials handling, fuel combustion, 

and storage. These standards rely on the 

capture of particulate matter emissions 

by pollution control devices such as 

electrostatic precipitators, high velocity 

air filters, or afterburners. 

In order to ensure compliance with 

these standards, adequate reporting and 

recordkeeping is necessary. In the 

absence of such information, 

enforcement personnel would be unable 

to determine whether the standards are 

being met on a continuous basis, as 

required by the Clean Air Act. 

All reports are sent to the delegated 

state or local authority. In the event that 

there is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. Notifications are used to 

inform the Agency or delegated 

authority when a source becomes 

subject to the standard. The reviewing 

authority may then inspect the source to 

check if the pollution control devices 

are properly installed and operated. 

Performance test reports are needed as 

these are the Agency’s record of a 

source’s initial capability to comply 

with the emission standard and note the 

operating conditions under which 

compliance was achieved. 

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 are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 58.6 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Asphalt Processing and Roofing 

Manufacture. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

169. 

Frequency of Response: Initially. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

30,419 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$7,985,874, which includes $200,000 

annualized capital/startup costs, 

$5,845,000 annual O&M costs, and 

$1,940,874 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 15,330 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

67578 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 222 / Thursday, November 18, 2004 / Notices 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to a 

correction in the estimated number of 

existing affected sources.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of this notice is to announce 

that on October 15, 2004, EPA granted 

NNEPA’s request for full delegation of 

authority to administer the Part 71 

federal operating permits program for 

certain Part 71 sources. The Act and its 

implementing regulations under Part 71 

authorize EPA to delegate authority to 

administer the Part 71 program to any 

eligible Tribe that submits a 

demonstration of adequate regulatory 

procedures and authority for 

administration of the Part 71 operating 

permits program. 

In order to be considered an ‘‘eligible 

tribe,’’ the NNEPA submitted, on June 

17, 2004, an application for a 

determination, under the provisions of 

the Tribal Authority Rule (TAR), 40 CFR 

Part 49, that it is eligible to be treated 

in the same manner as a state for the 

purpose of receiving delegation of 

authority to administer the federal Part 

71 operating permit program. The 

application excluded the Four Corners 

Power Plant and the Navajo Generating 

Station. Region IX reviewed NNEPA’s 

application and determined that it met 

the four criteria for eligibility, identified 

in 40 CFR 49.6, for the sources 

described, and was thus eligible for 

entering into a delegation agreement 

with Region IX to administer the Part 71 

program. Region IX’s eligibility 

determination was signed on October 

13, 2004. 

On July 16, 2004, NNEPA submitted 

a request to the Region to delegate the 

administration of the federal Part 71 

program for certain Part 71 sources. The 

area included in the request, herein 

called the ‘‘Delegated Program Area,’’

includes all lands within the formal 

boundaries of the Navajo Nation 

Reservation and the satellite 

reservations of Alamo, Canoncito and 

Ramah and Tribal trust lands located 

outside of the formal reservations in the 

Eastern Agency, excluding the Bennet 

Freeze area. 

As part of its request, NNEPA 

submitted a legal opinion from its 

attorney general stating that the Navajo 

Nation Air Pollution Prevention and 

Control Act and the Navajo Nation Air 

Quality Control Program Operating 

Permit Regulations provide it adequate 

authority to carry out all aspects of the 

delegated program. NNEPA provided all 

necessary documentation to 

demonstrate that it has adequate 

authority and adequate resources to 

administer the Part 71 federal 

permitting program. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 71.10(b), EPA 

hereby notifies the public that effective 

October 15, 2004, it has granted 

NNEPA’s request and is fully delegating 

the authority to administer the federal 

operating permits program as set forth 

under 40 CFR Part 71 and in the 

Agreement. The terms and conditions 

for full delegation are specified in the 

Agreement between EPA Region IX and 

NNEPA signed and dated on October 15, 

2004. 

The Agreement applies to all new and 

existing sources within the Delegated 

Program Area except the Four Corners 

Power Plant and the Navajo Generating 

Station, for which Region IX retains sole 

authority to regulate under Title V. The 

existing Part 71 sources covered by the 

Agreement are the following: the El Paso 

Natural Gas Window Rock Compressor 

Station, the El Paso Natural Gas White 

Rock Compressor Station, the El Paso 

Natural Gas Navajo Compressor Station, 

the El Paso Natural Gas Leupp 

Compressor Station, the El Paso Natural 

Gas Dilkon Compressor Station, the 

Transwestern Pipeline Klagetoh 

Compressor Station, the Transwestern 

Pipeline Leupp Compressor Station, El 

Paso Natural Gas Gallup Compressor 

Station, the Conoco Phillips Wingate 

Fractionating Plant, Peabody Western 

Coal Company’s Black Mesa Complex, 

the Chevron-Texaco Aneth Gas Plant, 

and the Exxon-Mobil McElmo Creek 

Unit. The Agreement also applies to all 

new Part 71 sources which will 

construct and operate within the 

Delegated Program Area as well as 

existing sources in the Delegated 

Program Area which later become 

subject to Part 71. 

If, at any time, EPA determines that 

NNEPA is not or cannot adequately
