or operators are also required to submit

semiannual certification reports to

enforcement personnel indicating that

all emission detection tests and visual

inspections are carried out. When

excess emissions are detected or a

problem is identified, the appropriate

corrective action taken by the plant

must be documented in the report.

The information generated by the

monitoring, record keeping and

reporting requirements described above

is used by the Agency to ensure that

facilities affected by the NSPS continue

to implement their work practices and

procedures used to achieve compliance

with the NSPS. Specifically, after startup, a certification that the equipment

necessary to comply with the standards

has been installed will ensure the use of

best demonstrated technology.

Notification of construction and start-up

will indicate to enforcement personnel

when a new affected facility has been

constructed and is therefore subject to

the standards.

The semiannual summary of visual

inspections and emission detection tests

will be used as an indication that the

work practices and procedures called

for by these standards are being

followed on a regular basis. This is

especially important in the case of water

seal controls where a drop in water

levels can result in increased emissions

unless checked regularly.

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 document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on June

18, 1997 (62 FR 33069).

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

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 provide

information to or for a Federal agency.

This includes the time needed to review

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under

contract number 68–W5–0025, ADS was

retained to maintain EPA’s collection of

Confidential Business Information (CBI)

submitted to EPA under all sections of

the Toxic Substances Control Act

(TSCA) located in EPA’s Confidential

Business Information Center (60 FR

50579, September 29, 1995) (FRL–4980–

4). The ‘‘TSCA Confidential Business

Information Security Manual’’ (Manual)

provides that the TSCA CBI collection

will be audited on an annual basis. In

accordance with its contract with EPA,

ADS sought the approval of EPA to

retain temporary employees to perform

the required audit. Subsequently, ADS

retained Telesec Incorporated of

Wheaton, MD to identify temporary

employees. These persons have been

cleared for access to TSCA CBI in

accordance with the provisions of the

Manual. The Manual provisions require

that contractor employees, including

temporary employees, sign

nondisclosure agreements, be subject to

background checks and be briefed on

appropriate security procedures before

they are permitted access to TSCA CBI.

EPA is issuing this notice to inform

all submitters of information under all

sections of TSCA that ADS’s temporary

employees may have access to these CBI

materials on a need-to-know basis only.

All access to TSCA CBI for the

performance of the audit is taking place

at EPA Headquarters. It is expected that

the audit will be completed no later

than March of 1998.

Dated: October 29, 1997.
