54630 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 203 / Tuesday, October 21, 1997 / Notices

compliance with 40 CFR part 63.460, et

seq., Subpart T, National Emission

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

(NESHAP) for Halogenated Solvent

Cleaning. This information notifies EPA

when a source becomes subject to the

regulations, informs the Agency if a

source is in compliance when it begins

operation, and informs the Agency if the

source remained in compliance during

any period of operation. In the

Administrator’s judgment, emissions of

hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from

halogenated solvent cleaners may cause

or contribute to air pollution that may

reasonably be anticipated to endanger

public health or welfare. Therefore,

NESHAP standards were promulgated

for this source category, as required

under section 112 of the Clean Air Act.

HAP emissions from halogenated

solvent cleaners are the result of

inadequate equipment design and work

practices. These standards rely on the

proper design and operation of

halogenated solvent cleaners such as

working-mode covers, freeboard ratio of

1.0, and reduced room draft to reduce

solvent emissions from halogenated

solvent cleaners. Certain records and

reports are necessary to enable EPA to

identify sources subject to the standards

and to ensure that the standards are

being achieved. Owners/operators of

halogenated solvent cleaners must

provide EPA with an initial notification

of existing or new solvent cleaning

machines, initial statement of

compliance, an annual control device

monitoring report (owners/operators of

batch vapor and in-line cleaning

machines), an annual solvent emission

report (owners/operators of batch vapor

and in-line cleaning machines), an

annual solvent emission report (owners/

operators of batch vapor and in-line

cleaning machines complying with the

alternative standard), and exceedance of

monitoring parameters or emissions.

The records that the facilities maintain

indicate to EPA whether they are

operating and maintaining the

halogenated solvent cleaners properly to

control emissions. In order to ensure

compliance with the standards

promulgated to protect public health,

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.

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. The Federal Register Notice

Transportation Partners

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

the following Information Collection

Request (ICR) has been forwarded to the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and approval: EPA’s

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: EPA’s Transportation Partners

Program, EPA ICR No. 1818.01. This is

a new collection.

Abstract: The Transportation Partners

program is a new, cooperative,

voluntary program that seeks to reduce

the growth of vehicle miles traveled

(VMT) through the adoption of

measures that provide or promote the

use of non-single occupancy vehicle

transportation choices for citizens. As

part of the Climate Change Action Plan,

Transportation Partners will play an

important role in the nation’s

commitment to reduce U.S. greenhouse

gas emissions.

The Transportation Partners program

is designed to work around two types of

members: Principal Partners and Project

Partners. Principal Partners have

substantive areas of expertise and will

provide direct assistance to VMTreducing projects across the country.

Project Partners, on the other hand,

administer the individual programs and

actions designed to reduce VMT. Local

governments, regional governments,

local non-governmental organizations,

and private businesses may become

Project Partners.

As voluntary participants in the

Transportation Partners program,

Project Partners may be asked to

complete an annual Partner Profile that

requests general project information.

Project-related information requested

may include background data about the

sponsoring entity, a description (and, to

the extent possible, quantification) of

project effects on travel, other project

effects, and comments regarding

program participation and technical

assistance. As EPA may request

additional information from the Project

Partners about their projects,

organizations may be requested to

periodically submit supplementary

information to the Agency.

In addition, EPA sponsors the Way to

Go! Awards, which honor local

innovators who are enhancing their

communities and the environment

through transportation improvements.

Project Partners will receive an

application for the Way to Go! awards.

Some Project Partners may choose to

complete and submit the application to

EPA. The application asks for the

following information: the name and

focus of the project; a description of

project management; a description of

the end user(s) of the project; and a

project summary and narrative.

Principal Partners have a number of

responsibilities, which include: First,

they will provide EPA with contact lists

of prospective Project Partners. Second,

they will disseminate information to

partners. Third, Principal Partners will

review, sign, and forward Project

Partner agreements to EPA. Fourth,

Principal Partners will assist EPA in

reviewing and compiling Partner

Profiles and supplemental information

from Project Partners.

Participation in the Transportation

Partners program is voluntary. If

requested, EPA will treat information as

confidential business information and

will not make the partner-specific

information collected under the

program available to the general public,

unless the partner’s approval is

obtained.

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
