appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,

Abstract: Section 609 of the Clean Air 

Act Amendments of 1990 (Act) provides 

general guidelines for the recovery and 

recycling of motor vehicle air 

conditioners. It states that ‘‘no person 

repairing or servicing motor vehicles for 

consideration may perform any service 

on a motor vehicle air conditioner 

involving the refrigerant for such air 

conditioner without properly using 

approved refrigerant recovery and/or 

recovery and recycling equipment 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘refrigerant 

handling equipment’’) and no such 

person may perform such service unless 

such person has been properly trained 

and certified.’’ In 1992, EPA developed 

regulations under section 609 that were 

published in 57 FR 31240, and codified 

at 40 CFR Subpart B (Section 82.30 et 

seq.). The information required to be 

collected under the Section 609 

regulations is: Approved refrigerant 

handling equipment; approved 

independent standards testing 

organizations; technician training and 

certification; and certification, reporting 

and recordkeeping. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 5 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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: The 

following is a list of NAICS codes for 

organizations potentially affected by the 

information requirements covered under 

this ICR. It is meant to include any 

establishment that may service or 

maintain motor vehicle air conditioners. 

4411 Automobile Dealers; 4413 

Automotive Parts, Accessories, and Tire 

Stores; 44711 Gasoline Stations with 

Convenience Stores; 45299 All Other 

General Merchandise Stores; 811198 All 

Other Automotive Repair and 

Maintenance; Other affected groups 

include: Independent Standards Testing 

Organizations; Organizations with 

Technician Certification Programs. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

50,318. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

biennially, only once. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,164. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$224,619.62, includes $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 359 hours in g the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to an 

adjustment in the calculation to 

estimate the burden resulting from 

required submissions for new 

equipment certifications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

The ASHUE ROAD SITE is located at 

Section 17, Township 11, Range 19 in 

Wapato, Yakima County, WA, and is 

located on fee property within the 

reservation for the Yakama Nation. The 

Site covers approximately 2.46 acres. 

There is a residential home within the 

Site. The area surrounding the Site 

supports agricultural and residential 

uses. During 2012 a portion of the 

Wapato High School in Wapato, 

Washington was demolished. The 

Wapato School District No. 207 engaged 

T.W. Clark Construction, LLC as the 

general contractor for the demolition 

work. T.W. Clark Construction, LLC 

hired Groat Bros., Inc. as sub-contractor 

for performing demolition work and 

transporting demolition materials from 

the High School. The demolition work 

included the demolition of materials 

that contained asbestos. A portion of 

materials generated during the Wapato 

High School demolition project were 

transported to the Site for disposal. The 

Site is not licensed by the State of 

Washington, Yakima County, or the 

Yakama Nation to receive demolition 

materials or materials that contain 

hazardous substances for disposal. EPA 

conducted a field investigation of the 

Site on October 5, 2012. EPA’s 

investigation revealed the presence of 

asbestos in the demolished materials 

disposed of at the Site. Asbestos is a 

hazardous substance. EPA oversaw the 

performance of a removal action at the 

Site by T.W. Clark Construction, LLC, 

and Groat Bros. Inc. The removal action 

involved the excavation and off-Site 

disposal of the high school demolition 

wastes. EPA incurred approximately 

$311,330.96 performing or overseeing 

the performance of response costs at the 

Site. Pursuant to the terms of the 

CERCLA Section 122(h)(1) Settlement 

Agreement for Recovery of Response 

Costs, the settling parties will pay EPA 

$95,000. In return for the payment of 

this amount, EPA covenants not to sue 

the settling parties for past response 

costs—response costs incurred by EPA 

prior to the effective date of the 

Settlement Agreement—at the Site. In 

the event that EPA continues to incur 

response costs at the Site, EPA’s 

covenant not to sue does not include 

costs incurred by EPA after the effective 

date of the Settlement Agreement.
