State or Tribal program must meet in

order to obtain EPA approval.

A State may choose to certify that its

lead-based paint activities program

meets the requirements for EPA

approval, by submitting a letter signed

by the Governor or Attorney General

stating that the program meets the

requirements of section 404(b) of TSCA.

Upon submission of such certification

letter, the program is deemed authorized

(15 U.S.C. 2684(a)). This authorization

becomes ineffective, however, if EPA

disapproves the application or

withdraws the program authorization.

III. State Program Description

Summary

The following summary of the State of

Nebraska proposed program has been

provided by the applicant. The State of

Nebraska enacted in 1999 LB 863 which

amended the Environmental Lead

Hazard Control Act. This revision to

Nebraska law provided the framework

for the Health and Human Services

System Regulation and Licensure to

regulate the lead-based paint

professions training providers and the

professions of inspector, risk assessor,

worker, supervisor and project designer.

The Nebraska law also directs the

regulation of training providers that

provide the training for the lead

professions. These professions are

coincidental to the lead-based

professions regulated by 40 CFR part

745, subpart L.

IV. Submission to Congress and the

Comptroller General

The Congressional Review Act, 5

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides

that before certain actions may take

effect, the agency promulgating the

action must submit a report, which

includes a copy of the action, to each

House of the Congress and to the

Comptroller General of the United

States. EPA will submit a report

containing this action and other

required information to the U.S. Senate,

the U.S. House of Representatives, and

the Comptroller General of the United

States prior to publication of this

document in the Federal Register. This

action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined

by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

May 11, 2001, consists of the PMNs

pending or expired, and the notices of

commencement to manufacture a new

chemical that the Agency has received

under TSCA section 5 during this time

period. The ‘‘S’’ and ‘‘G’’ that precede

the chemical names denote whether the

chemical idenity is specific or generic.

DATES: Comments identified by the

docket control number OPPTS–51971

and the specific PMN number, must be

received on or before July 25, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be

submitted by mail, electronically, or in
