Abstract: This ICR covers reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements 

associated with EPA’s workplace 

standards for the protection of state and 

local government employees who work 

with asbestos and who are not covered 

by a state plan approved by the 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration. Currently, some 23 

states and state equivalent territories 

have reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act, Section 8, 

documenting worker protection actions 

for state and local government 

employees involved in asbestos work. 

EPA’s asbestos work protection 

regulations incorporate, by reference, 

the OSHA Construction Industry 

Standard for Asbestos, and the General 

Industry Standard for Asbestos. EPA 

does not collect any information under 

this collection. All information subject 

to this collection request is to be 

gathered and maintained by the 

employer. 

Form number(s): None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Public 

Administration, Educational Services. 

North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes 

identified in question 12 of the ICR. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. (15 U.S.C 2605, 2607(a)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

34,138 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 358,049 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $21,175,968 (per 

year), which includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease of 14,920 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This change, which is discussed 

in more detail in the ICR, reflects a 

decrease in the number of states subject 

to the rule. This change is an 

adjustment.

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for

will issue another Federal Register 

document to announce the submission 

of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity 

to submit additional comments to OMB.
