comments in opposition to the project

provide copies of their protests only to

the party or parties directly involved in

the protest.

Persons who wish to comment only

on the environmental review of this

project should submit an original and

two copies of their comments to the

Secretary of the Commission.

Environmental commenters will be

placed on the Commission’s

environmental mailing list, will receive

copies of the environmental documents,

and will be notified of meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Environmental commenters will not be

required to serve copies of filed

documents on all other parties.

However, the non-party commenters

will not receive copies of all documents

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission (except for the mailing of

environmental documents issued by the

Commission) and will not have the right

to seek court review of the

Commission’s final order.

The Commission may issue a

preliminary determination on nonenvironmental issues prior to the

completion of its review of the

environmental aspects of the project.

This preliminary determination

typically considers such issues as the

need for the project and its economic

effect on existing customers of the

applicant, on other pipelines in the area,

and on landowners and communities.

For example, the Commission considers

the extent to which the applicants may

need to exercise eminent domain to

obtain rights-of-way for the proposed

project and balances that against the

non-environmental benefits to be

provided by the project. Therefore, if a

person has comments on community

and landowner impacts from this

proposal, it is important either to file

comments or to intervene as early in the

process as possible.

Comments, protests and interventions

may be filed electronically via the

Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions

on the Commission’s web site at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.

If the Commission decides to set the

application for a formal hearing before

an Administrative Law Judge, the

Commission will issue another notice

describing that process. At the end of

the Commission’s review process, a

final Commission order approving or

denying a certificate will be issued.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Asbestos-Containing Materials

in Schools Rule and Revised Asbestos

Model Accreditation Plan Rule (OMB

Control No. 2070–0091; EPA ICR No.

1365.06). This is a request for extension

of an existing approved collection that

is currently scheduled to expire on May

31, 2001. Under 5 CFR 1320.10(e)(2), the

Agency may continue to conduct or

sponsor the collection of information

while the submission is pending at

OMB.

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

part 763, subpart E). Respondents may

claim all or part of a notice confidential.

EPA will disclose information that is

covered by a claim of confidentiality

only to the extent permitted by, and in

accordance with, the procedures in

TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. 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.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting burden for this collection of

information is estimated to range

between 5.5 hours and 140 hours per

response, depending upon the category

of respondent. Burden means the total

time, 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

disclose the information.

Respondents/Affected Entities: Local

education agencies (e.g., elementary or

secondary school districts); asbestos

training providers to schools and

educational systems; state education

departments or commissions; or public

health programs.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Estimated No. of Respondents:

107,759.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 2,212,151 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$58,860,737.

Changes in Burden Estimates: The

total burden associated with this ICR

has decreased from 2,367,293 hours in

the previous ICR to 2,212,151 hours for

this ICR. This adjustment in burden

reflects decreases in the estimated

number of school buildings containing

friable asbestos, offset slightly by an

increase in the burden that applies to

training providers.

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 notice,

as described above.

Dated: May 3, 2001.

Oscar Morales,

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
