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 

763 Subpart G). 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 and 40 CFR 

Part 2. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action 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 OSHAapproved state plans. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

22,488 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 363,517 

hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $14,548,910 per 

year, includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation and maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

very minor decrease of 6 burden hours 

per year compared with that identified 

in the ICR currently approved by OMB 

(from 363,523 hours to 363,517 hours). 

This change is an adjustment and is 

explained in the supporting statement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center,

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit: http://

www.epa.gov/dockets. 

Abstract: Owners and operators of 

petroleum refinery wastewater systems 

are required to keep records of design 

and operating specifications of all 

equipment installed to comply with 

such standards such as water seals, roof 

seals, control devices, and other 

equipment. This information is 

necessary to ensure that equipment 

design and operation specifications are 

met, and the source is in compliance 

with NSPS subpart QQQ. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Petroleum refinery wastewater systems. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

QQQ) 

Estimated number of respondents: 

135 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually 

Total estimated burden: 9,237 hours 

(per year). ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $921,126 (per 

year), includes $17,550 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years; and 

(2) the growth rate for the industry is 

very low, negative or non-existent, so 

there is no significant change in the 

overall burden. The increase in 

respondent and Agency costs from the 

most recently approved ICR is due to an 

adjustment in labor rates. This ICR uses 

updated labor rates from the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics to calculate burden 

costs.
