Jkt 208001
We reference the regulations outlining
the terms and conditions of an award in
the Applicable Regulations section of
this notice and include these and other
specific conditions in the GAN. The
GAN also incorporates your approved

3. Reporting: At the end of your

Secretary. If you receive a multi-year

expenditure information as specified by
the Secretary in 34 CFR 75.118.
4. Performance Measures: Under the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA), the Department has
established two performance measures
for the Vocational Rehabilitation
Services Projects for American Indians
with Disabilities program. The measures
are the percentage of individuals who
leave the program with an employment
outcome and the cost per employment
outcome. Each grantee must annually
report its performance on these
measures through the Annual Progress
Reporting Form for the American Indian
Vocational Rehabilitation Services
(AIVRS) Program.
In addition, this program is part of the
Administration’s job training and
employment common measures
initiative. The common measures for job
training and employment programs
targeting adults are: Entered
employment (percentage employed in
the first quarter after program exit);
retention in employment (percentage of
those employed in the first quarter after
exit that were still employed in the
second and third quarter after program
exit); earnings increase (percentage
change in earnings pre-registration to
post program and first quarter after exit
to third quarter after exit); and
efficiency (annual cost per participant).
The Department is currently working
toward implementation of these
common measures. Each grantee will be
required to collect and report data for
the common measures when
implemented.

Title: EPA Worker Protection
Standards for Hazardous Waste
Operation and Emergency Response
(Renewal).
Abstract: Section 126(f) of the
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
requires EPA to set worker protection
standards for State and local employees
engaged in hazardous waste operations
and emergency response in the 27 States
that do not have Occupational Safety
and Health Administration approved
State plans. The EPA coverage, required
to be identical to the OSHA standards,
extends to three categories of
employees: those engaged in clean-ups
at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites,
including corrective actions at
Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD)
facilities regulated under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA);
employees working at routine hazardous
waste operations at RCRA TSD facilities,
and employees involved in emergency
response operations without regard to
location. This ICR renews existing
mandatory record keeping collection of
ongoing activities including monitoring
of any potential employee exposure at
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites,
maintaining records of employee
training, refresher training, medical
exams and reviewing emergency
response plans.
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 in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual
recordkeeping burden for this collection
will remain unchanged from previous
estimates and is estimated to average
10.5 hours per site or event. Burden
means to total time, effort, and 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: State
and local governments in the 27 States
and 2 territories that do not have OSHAapproved plans under section 18(b) of
the OSH Act. The population affected
by the EPA worker protection standards
includes State and local governments
with employees: (1) Engaged in routine
hazardous waste operations at TSD
facilities regulated under RCRA; (2)
engaged in clean-ups at uncontrolled
hazardous waste sites, including
corrective actions at RCRA TSD
facilities; and (3) engaged in emergency
response without regard to location.
Estimated number of respondents:
Approximately 100 RCRA TSD facilities
or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites
and 23,900 State and local police
departments, fire departments or
hazardous materials teams.
Frequency of Response: Continuous
maintenance of records.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
255,427.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$3,529,000, which includes $0 annual
capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M
costs and $3,529,000 annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There are
no changes in the estimates currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2005. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may
continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond

by other appropriate means, such as on
the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: Respondents are owners or
operators of metal coil surface coating
facilities. The standards apply to each
metal coil surface coating operation in
which organic coatings are applied that
commenced construction, modification
or reconstruction after January 5, 1981.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities described must make initial
reports when a source becomes subject,
conduct and report on a performance
test, demonstrate and report on
continuous monitor performance, and
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility. Semiannual reports of
excess emissions are required. These
notifications, reports, and records are
essential in determining compliance,
and in general, are required of all
sources subject to New Source
Performance Standard (NSPS).
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least two years following
the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All
reports are sent to the delegated state or
local authority. In the event that there
is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office.
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 in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 41 hours per
response. 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
