accredited LBP training will be accepted

for certification in the Cherokee Nation.

Chapter 110 of ODEQ rules outlines the

certification timelines and the fees for

initial and renewal certification in the

Cherokee Nation. Renewal must be done

on an annual basis. All initial applicants

for inspector, risk assessor, and

supervisor in the Cherokee Nation must

successfully complete the DEQ

certification. All renewal applicants for

inspector, risk assessor, and supervisor

in the Cherokee Nation must complete

the DEQ certification exam every third

year.

The Cherokee Nation Lead Rules

incorporate by reference the work

practice standards from 40 CFR 745.227.

These work practice standards must be

followed when performing all leadbased paint activities. Work practice

standards are outlined for inspection,

lead hazard screen, risk assessment,

abatement, collection and laboratory

analysis of samples, composite dust

sampling, and recordkeeping.

As required by 40 CFR 745.327, the

Cherokee Nation will establish a

Memorandum of Agreement with the

Region VI, Regional Administrator. The

Memorandum of Agreement will

include provisions for the timely and

appropriate referral to the Region VI,

Regional Administrator for those

criminal enforcement matters where the

Cherokee Nation does not have the

authority. The Agreement will also

identify any enforcement agreements

that may exist between the Cherokee

Nation and any State.

IV. Federal Overfiling

Section 404(b) of TSCA makes it

unlawful for any person to violate, or

fail or refuse to comply with, any

requirement of an approved State or

Tribal program. Therefore, EPA reserves

the right to exercise its enforcement

authority under TSCA against a

violation of, or a failure or refusal to

comply with, any requirement of an

authorized State or Tribal program.

V. Submission to Congress and the

General Accounting Office

The Congressional Review Act, 5

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides

that before certain actions may take

effect, the agency promulgating the

action must submit a report, which

includes a copy of the action, to each

House of the Congress and to the

Comptroller General of the United

States. EPA will submit a report

containing this action and other

required information to the U.S. Senate,

the U.S. House of Representatives, and

the Comptroller General of the United

States prior to publication of this

document in the Federal Register. This

action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined

by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
