42890 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 165 / Friday, August 24, 2018 / Notices 

Respondents/affected entities: Owner 

or operator of a facility that is required 

to have a Spill Prevention, Control, and 

Countermeasure (SPCC) plan under the 

Oil Pollution Prevention regulation (40 

CFR part 112) and that could cause 

substantial harm to the environment, 

and must prepare and submit an FRP to 

EPA. The applicability criteria for a 

substantial harm facility are: (1) The 

facility transfers oil over water to or 

from a vessel and has a total storage 

capacity of greater than or equal to 

42,000 gallons; or (2) the facility’s total 

oil storage capacity is greater than or 

equal to one million gallons and one or 

more of the following harm factors are 

met: Insufficient secondary containment 

for aboveground storage tanks at the 

facility; a discharge of oil could impact 

fish and wildlife and sensitive 

environments; a discharge of oil could 

shut down a drinking water intake; the 

facility has experienced a reportable oil 

discharge of 10,000 gallons or more in 

last 5 years; or other factors considered 

by the Regional Administrator. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under section 311(j)(5) of the 

Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

22,274 (total). 

Frequency of response: Less than once 

per year. 

Total estimated burden: 382,682 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated costs: $16,205,238 

(per year), which includes $3,355 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 73,061 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This estimate is based on EPA’s 

current inventory of facilities that have 

submitted and are maintaining an FRP 

as per 40 CFR part 112. EPA has not 

amended the FRP regulation since the 

last ICR renewal that would affect the 

per-facility burden.

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. Under 

the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 are 

displayed either by publication in the 

Federal Register or by other appropriate 

means, such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers for 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The Asbestos Hazard 

Emergency Response Act (AHERA) 

requires local education agencies (LEAs) 

to conduct inspections, develop 

management plans, and design or 

conduct response actions with respect 

to the presence of asbestos-containing 

materials in school buildings. AHERA 

also requires states to develop model 

accreditation plans for persons who 

perform asbestos inspections, develop 

management control plans, and design 

or conduct response actions. This 

information collection addresses the 

burden associated with recordkeeping 

requirements imposed on LEAs by the 

asbestos in schools rule, and reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements 

imposed on states and training 

providers related to the model 

accreditation plan rule. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

parts 763, Subpart E). Respondents may 

claim all or part of a document 

confidential. EPA will disclose 

information that is covered by a claim 

of confidentiality only to the extent 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 165 / Friday, August 24, 2018 / Notices 42891 

permitted by, and in accordance with, 

the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 

40 CFR part 2. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Local 

education agencies (LEAs, e.g., 

elementary or secondary public school 

districts or a private school or school 

system); asbestos training providers to 

schools and educational systems; state 

education departments or commissions; 

or state public health departments or 

commissions. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 763, Sub part 

E). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

133,214 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 2,554,913 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $97,276,877 (per 

year), which includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 67,509 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase reflects a change in 

the methodology to calculate the 

number of schools with friable asbestoscontaining materials (ACM); a revision 

to the life span of schools using average 

functional age to determine the 

remaining life of school buildings; and 

a change in the rate of removal of friable 

ACM. This change is an adjustment, and 

is discussed in more detail in the ICR 

Supporting Statement.

Anacostia River Watershed: Data 

Solicitation in Support of Revising 

Total Maximum Daily Loads for Debris, 

Floatables, Trash 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Solicitation for data. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is seeking readily 

available data and information on 

debris, floatables, and/or trash (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘trash’’) in the Anacostia 

River watershed for use in the 

development of a total maximum daily 

load (TMDL). The Anacostia River 

watershed covers portions of the District 

of Columbia and Prince George’s and 

Montgomery Counties in Maryland. A 

map of the Anacostia River watershed is 

available from EPA Region 3’s website 

at: https://www.epa.gov/tmdl/impairedwaters-and-tmdls-region-3. 

DATES: Data submissions to EPA must be 

received by, or postmarked on or before, 

October 23, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Data submissions should be 

sent to Ms. Jillian Adair, Water 

Protection Division (3WP30), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Region 3, 1650 Arch Street, 

Philadelphia, PA 19103–2029, or by 

electronic mail to adair.jillian@epa.gov. 

Electronic mail submissions including 

body text and attachments are limited to 

25 megabytes. In addition, EPA cannot 

receive electronic mail attachments in 

ZIP format (.zip). For additional 

information on submission formats, visit 

EPA Region 3’s website at: https://

www.epa.gov/tmdl/impaired-watersand-tmdls-region-3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires 

that each State identify those waters 

(called ‘‘water quality-limited 

segments’’) for which existing 

technology-based pollution controls are 

not stringent enough to attain or 

maintain State water quality standards 

and for which total maximum daily 

loads (TMDLs) must be prepared. A 

TMDL is an estimate of the maximum 

amount of a pollutant that a waterbody 

can assimilate without violating water 

quality standards. This total load 

includes pollutants that come from endof-pipe dischargers, stormwater runoff, 

surface runoff from non-permitted areas 

(i.e. agriculture, open areas, forest, etc.), 

as well as a ‘‘margin of safety’’, which 

accounts for uncertainties in the 

estimated load. TMDLs are important 

because they provide a framework to 

achieve water quality standards in a 

watershed. TMDLs inform other federal 

and state programs of the necessary 

pollutant reductions needed by source 

to achieve water quality standards. 

On September 21, 2010, EPA 

approved a trash TMDL for the 

Anacostia River submitted jointly by the 

Maryland Department of the 

Environment (MDE) and the District of 

Columbia Department of Energy and the 

Environment (DOEE). The TMDL report 

can be accessed at: http://

www.mde.state.md.us/programs/Water/ 

TMDL/ApprovedFinalTMDLs/Pages/ 

tmdl_final_anacostia_trash.aspx. 

On September 19, 2016, the Natural 

Resources Defense Council (NRDC) filed 

suit in the U.S. District Court for the 

District of Columbia seeking vacatur of 

EPA’s approval [Civil Action No. 16– 

1861 (JDB)]. The Court ruled in favor of 

NRDC on March 30, 2018 and directed 

EPA to develop or approve replacement 

TMDLs. In light of the Court’s Order, 

EPA is working with MDE and DOEE to 

determine the appropriate direction to 

take with developing new or revised 

TMDLs. An evaluation of data that has 

become available since approval of the 

original TMDLs will provide valuable 

insights into this determination. 

EPA would appreciate your assistance 

in obtaining all readily available data 

and other information that would 

benefit the development of TMDLs for 

trash impairments in the Anacostia 

River watershed. Please consider these 

points in responding to this solicitation: 

• Any studies, surveys or other 

statistically significant information on 

the quantities of trash that would 

interfere with the general population’s 

use and enjoyment of the river for 

purposes such as swimming, boating 

and fishing. This data call is not 

intended as a user survey, and 

accordingly, EPA is not seeking the 

subjective views of individuals at this 

time. 

• Documents or datasets that provide 

information regarding water quality 

conditions and sources associated with 

quantities of trash in the water. 

Potentially relevant data sources 

include: trash monitoring data, trash 

clean-up data, trash remediation project 

data, municipal separate storm sewer 

system (MS4) annual reports, etc. EPA 

is also interested in any other 

information data providers believe 

might be relevant. 

• Trash data can be accounted for 

through measurements of weight, 

volume, count, or other appropriate 

measure. While EPA acknowledges that 

photographs may document the 

presence of trash, photographs are less 

useful for quantifying trash. 

Accordingly, EPA discourages 

submission of photographs as a method 

of quantifying trash extent and 

impairment. 

• Please limit data submissions to 

only the waterbodies within the 

Anacostia River watershed for the 

period of August 2009 through present. 

If data collection efforts are currently 

underway, EPA would also appreciate 

an accounting of what is being collected 

and when it may become publicly 

available. 

• Data and reports delivered in 

electronic format are preferred, as 

available. Specifically, datasets in Excel
