Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Inorganic Arsenic
Emissions from Glass Manufacturing
Plants were proposed on July 20, 1983,
and promulgated on August 4, 1986.
The standards were amended on both
May 31, 1990 and October 17, 2000.
These standards apply to each glass
melting furnace that uses commercial
arsenic as a raw material. These
standards do not apply to pot furnaces.
Also, rebricking is not considered
construction or modification for the
purposes of 40 CFR 61.05(a). This
information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 61,
subpart N.
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 General
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHH.
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. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance; and are required, in
general, of all sources subject to
NESHAP.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 49 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
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; 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.

Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) or Superfund, Section
128(a); Notice of Grant Funding
Guidance for State and Tribal
Response Programs
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) will begin to accept
requests, from December 1, 2008
through January 31, 2009, for grants to
supplement State and Tribal Response
Programs. This notice provides
guidance on eligibility for funding, use
of funding, grant mechanisms and
process for awarding funding, the
allocation system for distribution of
funding, and terms and reporting under
these grants. EPA has consulted with
state and tribal officials in developing
this guidance.
The primary goal of this funding is to
ensure that state and tribal response
programs include, or are taking
reasonable steps to include, certain
elements and a public record. Another
goal is to provide funding for other
activities that increase the number of
response actions conducted or overseen
by a state or tribal response program.
This funding is not intended to supplant
current state or tribal funding for their
response programs. Instead, it is to
supplement their funding to increase
their response capacity.
For fiscal year 2009, EPA will
consider funding requests up to a
maximum of $1.5 million per state or
tribe. Subject to the availability of
funds, EPA regional personnel will be
available to provide technical assistance
to states and tribes as they apply for and
carry out these grants.
DATES: This action is effective as of
December 1, 2008. EPA expects to make
non-competitive grant awards to states
and tribes which apply during fiscal
year 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
128(a) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA), as amended, authorizes a
noncompetitive $50 million grant
program to establish and enhance state 1
and tribal 2 response programs.
Generally, these response programs
address the assessment, cleanup, and
redevelopment of brownfields sites and
other sites with actual or perceived
contamination. Section 128(a)
cooperative agreements are awarded and
administered by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) regional
offices. This document provides
guidance that will enable states and
tribes to apply for and use Fiscal Year
2009 Section 128(a) funds.
Requests for funding will be accepted
from December 1, 2008 through January
31, 2009. Information required to be
submitted with the funding request is
on pages 13–15. States or tribes that fail
to submit the request in the appropriate
manner may forfeit their ability to
request funds. First time requestors are
strongly encouraged to contact their
Regional Brownfields Coordinator (see
page 19) prior to submitting their
funding request.
Requests submitted by the January 31,
2009 request deadline are preliminary;
final cooperative agreement work plans
and budgets will be negotiated with the
regional offices once final allocation
determinations are made. As in prior
years, EPA will place special emphasis
on reviewing a cooperative agreement
recipients’ use of prior 128(a) funding in
making allocation decisions.
States and tribes requesting funds are
required to provide a Dun and
Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering
System (DUNS) number with their final
cooperative agreement package. For
more information, please go to
www.grants.gov.
The Catalogue of Federal Domestic
Assistance entry for the Section 128(a)
State and Tribal Response Program
cooperative agreements is 66.817. This
grant program is eligible to be included
in state and tribal Performance
Partnership Grants.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
1 The term ‘‘state’’ is defined in this document as
defined in CERCLA Section 101(27).
2 The term ‘‘Indian tribe’’ is defined in this
document as it is defined in CERCLA Section
101(36). Intertribal consortia, as defined in the
Federal Register Notice at 67 FR 67181, No. 4, 2002,
are also eligible for funding under CERCLA 128(a).

Background
State and tribal response programs
oversee assessment and cleanup
activities at the majority of brownfields
sites across the country. The depth and
breadth of state and tribal response
programs vary. Some focus on CERCLA
related activities, while others are multifaceted, for example, addressing sites
regulated by both CERCLA and the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). Many state programs also
offer accompanying financial incentive
programs to spur cleanup and
redevelopment. In passing Section
128(a),3 Congress recognized the
accomplishments of state and tribal
response programs in cleaning up and
redeveloping brownfields sites. Section
128(a) also provides EPA with an
opportunity to strengthen its
partnership with states and tribes.
The primary goal of this funding is to
ensure that state and tribal response
programs include, or are taking
reasonable steps to include, certain
elements and a ‘‘public record.’’ The
secondary goal is to provide funding for
other activities that increase the number
of response actions conducted or
overseen by a state or tribal response
program. This funding is not intended
to supplant current state or tribal
funding for their response programs.
Instead, it is to supplement their
funding to increase their response
program’s capacity.
Subject to the availability of funds,
EPA regional personnel will be available
to provide technical assistance to states
and tribes as they apply for and carry
out Section 128(a) cooperative
agreements.
Eligibility for Funding
To be eligible for funding under
CERCLA Section 128(a), a state or tribe
must:
Demonstrate that its response program
includes, or is taking reasonable steps to
include, the four elements of a response
program, described below; or (b) be a
party to voluntary response program
Memorandum of Agreement (VRP
MOA) 4 with EPA;
And
Maintain and make available to the
public a record of sites at which
3 Section 128(a) was added to CERCLA in 2002 by
the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields
Revitalization Act (Brownfield Amendments).
4 The legislative history of the Brownfields
Amendments indicates that Congress intended to
encourage states and tribes to enter into MOAs for
their voluntary response programs. States or tribes
that are parties to VRP MOAs and that maintain and
make available a public record are automatically
eligible for Section 128(a) funding.
