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

part 763, subpart E).

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting burden for this collection of

information is estimated to range

between 6 hours and 140 hours per

response, depending upon the category

of respondent, for an estimated 107,551

respondents making one or more

submissions of information annually.

These estimates include 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

disclose the information. No person is

required to respond to a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid OMB control number.

The OMB control numbers for these

regulations are displayed in 40 CFR part

9.

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Entities potentially affected by this

action are local education agencies and

states with recordkeeping and/or

reporting responsibilities under the

Asbestos-Containing Materials in

Schools rule, and training providers and

states with recordkeeping and/or

reporting responsibilities under the

Model Accreditation Plan rule.

Estimated No. of Respondents:

107,551.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 2,367,293 hours.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Changes in Burden Estimates: There

is a decrease of 19,857 hours in the total

estimated respondent burden as

compared with that identified in the

information collection request most

recently approved by OMB, from

2,387,150 hours currently to an

estimated 2,367,293 hours. Most of this

decrease reflects the completion of

startup costs associated with the Model

Accreditation Plan. A smaller portion of

the decrease is due to the reduction in

the number of training providers and

changes in the numbers of school

buildings containing friable asbestos.

According to the procedures

prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12, EPA has

submitted this ICR to OMB for review

and approval. Any comments related to

the renewal of this ICR should be

submitted within 30 days of this

document, as described above.
