Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of Utah, 50062-50063 [E6-14051]

Download as PDF rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES1 50062 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 164 / Thursday, August 24, 2006 / Notices potential asbestos exposure. EPA did not seek information on clutches because the Congressional inquiry to which the Agency was responding when seeking this information was limited to brakes. It should be noted that the aftermarket for clutches is significantly smaller than the aftermarket for brakes. This draft brochure contains current information and, when finalized, will supersede the currently available Guidance for Preventing Asbestos Disease Among Auto Mechanics (EPA– 560–OPTS–86–002). The purpose of the brochure, once finalized, will be to provide the public and workers involved in brake and clutch repair work with a simple, easy-to-understand summary of the OSHA work practice standards, which are mandatory for certain professional automotive mechanics. Also discussed in this brochure is EPA’s Worker Protection Rule, which contains identical requirements, and is mandatory for State and local government employees who perform brake and clutch work in States without OSHA-approved State plans. EPA believes that home mechanics also may benefit from information discussed in the brochure regarding these work practice standards and additional advice on steps they can consider taking to prevent possible asbestos exposure when working with asbestos-containing friction products. Neither the draft nor final brochure is intended to provide comprehensive technical information regarding work practices, or a comprehensive assessment of the possible health effects from exposure to asbestos in brakes and clutches. Additionally, neither the draft nor final brochure is a substitute for any applicable legal requirements, or a regulation. Thus, they do not impose legally binding requirements on any party, including EPA, States, or the regulated community. Interested professional mechanics engaged in commercial brake and clutch repair are encouraged to contact OSHA regarding compliance with the mandatory work practice standards highlighted in this draft brochure (https://www.osha.gov). Similarly, interested State and local government employees who perform brake and clutch work in States without OSHA-approved State plans are encouraged to contact EPA regarding compliance with EPA’s Worker Protection Rule. Finally, home mechanics may contact EPA with any specific questions not addressed in the brochure by visiting the EPA asbestos website at https://www.epa.gov/asbestos. EPA is seeking public comment on all aspects of the new brochure’s design and content. This includes the tone of VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:15 Aug 23, 2006 Jkt 208001 the brochure and the extent to which the current wording and design tend to support its effectiveness as an educational tool. One issue that EPA has considered is the need to balance technical accuracy with clarity and freedom from overly technical terminology, while still maintaining consistency with the OSHA mandatory work practice standards and the identical requirements contained in EPA’s Worker Protection Rule. The extent to which the current draft is clear and understandable is of primary concern to the Agency. In designing the layout of the brochure, EPA has been aware of the need to develop a dynamic and engaging document while ensuring that the brochure can be easily and inexpensively reprinted. This approach has led the Agency to incorporate a layout and illustrations that anchor many of the brochure’s key points while providing visual interest. EPA requests comment on whether the draft images may be altered in any way to increase their effectiveness. EPA welcomes all comments and suggestions for improving the draft brochure and will, where appropriate, incorporate changes to the final brochure. However, EPA does not plan to develop or publish a formal document that summarizes and responds to the comments received. EPA will announce the availability of the final brochure through a future Federal Register notice and, once finalized, the brochure will be available on the EPA asbestos website at https:// www.epa.gov/asbestos.

requirements of 40 CFR Part 142 for maintaining primacy. They must 
adopt regulations that are at least as stringent as the NPDWRs at 40 
CFR Parts 141 and 142, as well as adopt all new and revised NPDWRs in 
order to retain primacy (40 CFR 142.12(a)).
