management
plan
(
RMP)
to
EPA.
The
RMP
includes
information
on
offsite
consequence
analyses
(
OCA)
as
well
as
other
elements
of
the
risk
management
program.
On
August
5,
1999,
the
President
signed
the
Chemical
Safety
Information,
Site
Security,
and
Fuels
Regulatory
Relief
Act
(
CSISSFRRA).
The
Act
required
the
President
to
promulgate
regulations
on
the
distribution
of
OCA
information
(
CAA
section
112(
r)(
7)(
H)(
ii)).
The
President
delegated
to
EPA
and
the
Department
of
Justice
(
DOJ)
the
responsibility
to
promulgate
regulations
to
govern
the
dissemination
of
OCA
information
to
the
public.
The
final
rule
was
published
on
August
4,
2000
(
65
FR
48108).
The
regulations
imposed
minimal
requirements
on
the
public,
State
and
local
agencies
that
request
OCA
data
from
EPA.
The
State
and
local
agencies
who
decide
to
obtain
OCA
information
must
send
a
written
request
on
their
official
letterhead
to
EPA
certifying
that
they
are
covered
persons
under
Public
Law
106
 
40,
and
that
they
will
use
the
information
for
official
use
only.
EPA
will
then
provide
paper
copies
of
OCA
data
to
those
agencies
as
requested.
The
rule
authorizes
and
encourages
State
and
local
agencies
to
set
up
reading
rooms.
The
local
reading
rooms
would
provide
read­
only
access
to
OCA
information
for
all
the
sources
in
the
LEPC's
jurisdiction
and
for
any
source
where
the
vulnerable
zone
extends
into
the
LEPC's
jurisdiction.
Members
of
the
public
requesting
to
view
OCA
information
at
Federal
reading
rooms
would
be
required
to
sign
in
and
self
certify.
If
asking
for
OCA
information
from
Federal
reading
rooms
for
the
facilities
in
the
area
where
they
live
or
work,
they
would
be
required
to
provide
proof
that
they
live
or
work
in
that
area.
Members
of
the
public
are
required
to
give
their
names,
telephone
number,
and
the
names
of
the
facilities
for
which
OCA
information
is
being
requested,
when
they
contact
the
central
office
to
schedule
an
appointment
to
view
OCA
information.
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.
The
EPA
would
like
to
solicit
comments
to:
(
i)
Evaluate
whether
the
proposed
collection
of
information
is
necessary
for
the
proper
performance
of
the
functions
of
the
agency,
including
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
responses.

Development
and
Implementation
of
a
Mercury
Lamp
Recycling
Outreach
Program
AGENCY:
Environmental
Protection
Agency.
ACTION:
Request
for
Applications
(
RFA)
 
Cooperative
Agreements.

SUMMARY:
In
FY
2002
Congress
appropriated
funds
to
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
for
the
development
and
implementation
of
a
lamp
(
light
bulb)
recycling
outreach
program
to
increase
awareness
of
proper
disposal
methods
among
commercial
and
industrial
users
of
mercury­
containing
lamps,
in
compliance
with
the
Universal
Waste
Rule.
Mercury
is
a
naturally
occurring
element
commonly
used
by
lamp
manufacturers
to
increase
the
energy
efficiency
of
the
lamps
they
produce.
Examples
of
these
mercury­
containing
lamps
include
familiar
varieties
such
as
the
fluorescent
lamps
commonly
found
in
office
buildings,
high
intensity
discharge
(
HID)
lamps,
and
mercury
vapor
lamps.
While
mercury
is
an
essential
component
allowing
lamps
to
operate
more
efficiently,
it
is
also
hazardous
to
humans
and
the
environment,
thus
EPA
categorizes
spent
mercury­
containing
lamps
as
hazardous
waste
under
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(
RCRA).
On
July
6,
1999,
(
see
64
FR
36466)
mercury­
containing
lamps
were
added
to
EPA's
Universal
Waste
program.
This
program,
created
in
1995,
(
see
60
FR
25492,
May
11,
1995)
eases
the
regulatory
burden
on
facilities
that
manage
certain
widely
generated
hazardous
wastes,
known
as
universal
waste.
The
program
was
designed
to
promote
the
collection
and
recycling
of
these
wastes.
It
is
important
that
mercury­
containing
wastes
are
properly
managed
since
incorrect
disposal
of
these
wastes
can
seriously
threaten
the
health
of
citizens,
the
environment,
and
wildlife.
Repeated
exposure
to
large
amounts
of
mercury
can
cause
kidney,
and
nerve
damage
in
adults
and
children,
and
neurological
damage
in
developing
fetuses.
Unfortunately,
many
members
of
the
industrial
and
commercial
community
do
not
realize
that
the
lamps
in
their
buildings
pose
such
a
threat,
and
they
are
unaware
of
acceptable
methods
for
disposing
of
their
lamps.
As
a
result,
illegal
dumping
of
this
hazardous
waste
is
common.
To
address
this
issue,
EPA's
