SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Clean Water Needs Survey

(OMB Control No. 2040–0050; EPA ICR

No. 318.07.) expiring 11/30/97. This is

a request for extension of a currently

approved collection for an inventory

and cost estimate of those capital

improvements needed to be made to

new and existing wastewater treatment

plants and collector systems eligible for

funding under the Clean Water Act, to

meet the requirements under the Clean

Water Act. In addition, data collection

on abandoned mine runoff is planned as

a pilot partial survey for 7 States.

Abstract: The data base for the Clean

Water Needs Survey (CWNS) data on

Publicly Owned Treatment Works

(POTWs, wastewater treatment plants)

which is collected by the 50 States and

Puerto Rico is being modernized. It has

been designed and tested and will be

made available to the States to start

entering their data and training their

staff on the use of the new data base so

that the States will be ready in time for

the 2000 Clean Water Needs Survey. In

addition, data will be collected on the

runoff from abandoned mines as a pilot

partial survey of 7 States, by those 7

States, to improve the quality of the

2000 CWNS. The States are required to

supply this information in order to be

eligible for funding for the POTW

facilities surveyed under the Clean

Water Act and State Revolving Fund.

The data is compiled and published

every 4 years in a Clean Water Needs

Survey, and FOIA requests are answered

and extracts of data will be placed on

the Internet. 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 required under 5 CFR

1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this

collection of information was published

on 5/13/97 (62 FR 26303); no comments

were received.

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 59 hours per

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; 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source

Categories: Gasoline Distribution (Stage

I), 40 CFR part 63, subpart R, (OMB

Control Number 2060–0325; EPA ICR

No. 1659.03) expiring on December 31,

1997. This is a request for extension of

a currently approved collection.

Abstract: Effective enforcement of this

rule is necessary due to the hazardous

nature of benzene (a known human

carcinogen) and the toxic nature of the

other 10 Hazardous Air Pollutants

emitted from gasoline distribution

facilities. The EPA is charged under

section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA

or Act), as amended, to establish

national emission standards for

hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP).

Section 114 of the Act allows the

Administrator to require inspections,

monitoring, and entry into facilities to

ensure compliance with a section 112

emission standard. Records and reports

are necessary to enable the EPA to

identify facilities that may not be in

compliance with the standards. The

information will be used by agency

personnel to: (1) identify sources subject

to the standards; (2) ensure that leakage

emissions from cargo tanks and process

piping equipment components (both

liquid and vapor) during loading are

being minimized; (3) ensure that

emission control devices are being

properly operated and maintained; and

(4) ensure that emissions from storage

vessels are minimized and rim seal and

fitting defects are repaired on a timely

basis. 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

States seeking assistance in establishing

a State training, accreditation, and

certification program after passing

These funds will be awarded to States,

Territories and the District of Columbia

on a first-come first-served basis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title X of

the Housing and Community

Development Act of 1992, otherwise

known as the Residential Lead-based

Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992,

authorized the Secretary of the

Department of Housing and Urban

Development to provide grants of up to

$200,000 to State governments to

develop the capacity to carry out the

requirements of section 105(b)(16) of the

Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable

Housing Act and to carry out activities

under this section. Section 1011(g) of

Title X set aside $3,000,000 for each

fiscal year of 1993 and 1994 for the

purpose of establishing State training,

certification, or accreditation programs

that meet the requirements of section

402 of the Toxic Substances Control Act

(TSCA) once the State has enacted

enabling legislation. HUD identified this

money as Category II grants and

announced the availability of the first

year of the $3,000,000 set aside in the

Federal Register of June 4, 1993 (58 FR

31848).

HUD had originally estimated that

between 15 and 18 grants would be

awarded with the FY93 funds. Under

that grant cycle, HUD awarded only

$2,451,090 to the following 13 States:

Arkansas, California, Connecticut,

Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts,

Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio,

Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia.

The resulting balance of $548,910 from

FY93 combined with $3,000,000

appropriated by Congress in FY94,

provides for the total of $3,548,910 in

grant dollars to be awarded by EPA

under this notification.

Approximately 18 grants of up to

$200,000 each will be awarded. Any

State that has previously received a

Category II Grant from the Department

of Housing and Urban Development

(HUD) is not eligible to apply for these

funds. These States include: Arkansas,

California, Connecticut, Louisiana,

Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota,

Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode

Island, Vermont, and Virginia. States

that have passed enabling legislation

prior to August 29, 1996 may apply after

they meet the program elements listed

under Appendix E of HUD’s Notice of

Funding Availability document (58 FR

31848, June 4, 1993.) States that passed

enabling legislation after August 29,

1996 must, at a minimum, meet the

requirements set forth under the TSCA

section 402 final rule which was

published on that date.
