ACTION: Notice; requests for comments and opportunity for public hearing. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On November 17, 2005, EPA received an application from the State of Hawaii requesting authorization to administer a program in accordance with section 402 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Included in the application was a letter signed by Hawaii’s Attorney General stating that the State’s Lead-Based Paint Abatement Program is at least as protective of human health and the environment as the Federal program under TSCA section 402. Also included in the letter from the Attorney General of Hawaii is the certification that the laws and regulations of the State of Hawaii provide adequate legal authority to administer and enforce TSCA section 402. The application was followed by a transmittal letter of February 8, 2006, from the Governor of the State of Hawaii requesting program approval. Hawaii certifies that its program meets the requirements for approval of a State program under TSCA section 404 and that Hawaii has the legal authority and ability to implement the appropriate elements necessary to enforce the program. Therefore, pursuant to TSCA section 404, the program is deemed authorized as of the date of submission. If EPA finds that the program does not meet the requirements for approval of a State program, EPA will disapprove the program, at which time a notice will be issued in the Federal Register and the Federal program will be established. This notice announces the receipt of Hawaii’s application, provides a 45–day public comment period, and an opportunity to request a public hearing on the application. DATES: Comments on the application must be received on or before October 20, 2006.
