SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Docket: Supporting documents, 

including the ICR that explains in detail 

the information collection activities and 

the related burden and cost estimates 

that are summarized in this document, 

are available in the docket for this ICR. 

The docket can be viewed online at 

http://www.regulations.gov or in person 

at the EPA Docket Center, West William 

Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is (202) 566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 31, 2017. 

Under OMB regulations, the Agency 

may continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 

Under 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: EPA’s asbestos worker 

protection rule is designed to provide 

occupational exposure protection to 

state and local government employees 

who are engaged in asbestos abatement 

activities in states that do not have state 

plans approved by the Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration 

(OSHA). The rule provides protection 

for public employees not covered by the 

OSHA standard from the adverse health 

effects associated with occupational 

exposure to asbestos. Specifically, the 

rule requires state and local 

governments to monitor employee 

exposure to asbestos, take action to 

reduce exposure to asbestos, monitor 

employee health and train employees 

about asbestos hazards. 

The rule includes a number of 

information reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. State and 

local government agencies are required 

to provide employees with information 

about exposures to asbestos and the 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
40578 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 164 / Friday, August 25, 2017 / Notices 

associated health effects. The rule also 

requires state and local governments to 

notify EPA before commencing any 

asbestos abatement project. State and 

local governments must maintain 

medical surveillance and monitoring 

records and training records on their 

employees, must establish a set of 

written procedures for respirator 

programs and must maintain procedures 

and records of respirator fit tests. EPA 

will use the information to monitor 

compliance with the asbestos worker 

protection rule. This request addresses 

these reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: State 

and local government employers in 24 

states, DC, and certain U.S. Territories 

that have employees engaged in 

asbestos-related construction, custodial 

and brake and clutch repair activities 

without OSHA-approved state plans. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (see 40 CFR 763 Subpart G). 

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. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 23,437. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total burden: 372,969 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Estimated total costs: $ 15,763,007 

(per year), includes no annualized 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

net increase of 9,452 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This increase reflects 

an increase of 24,371 hours to account 

for updates made from previous ICRs to 

standardize methodology, and a 

decrease of 14,919 hours due to Maine’s 

new status of having an OSHAapproved state plan whereby its entities 

are no longer covered under this ICR. 

This change is an adjustment. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be

For additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit: http://

www.epa.gov/dockets. 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, 

and any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subparts KKK and LLL. Owners or 

operators of the affected facilities must 

submit a one-time-only report of any 

physical or operational changes, initial 

performance tests, and periodic reports 

and results. Owners or operators are 

also required to maintain records of the 

occurrence and duration of any startup, 

shutdown, or malfunction in the 

operation of an affected facility, or any 

period during which the monitoring 

system is inoperative. Reports are 

required semiannually at a minimum. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners or operators of onshore natural 

gas processing plants. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFFR part 60, subparts 

KKK and LLL). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

484 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

semiannually, and occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 102,000 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $10,800,000 (per 

year), includes $68,400 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment decrease in the estimated 

labor hours and number of responses as 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved Burdens. The 

decrease is due to a projected decline in 

the number of sources subject to the 

regulation, as new and modified sources 

will become subject to NSPS Subpart 

OOOO. We expect on average 27 

existing facilities under Subpart KKK 

and 3 facilities under Subpart LLL will 

undergo modifications each year such
