Title: Safer Detergent Stewardship
Initiative (SDSI) Program.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew
an existing approved collection that is
scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011.
Under 5 CFR 1320.12(b)(2), the Agency
may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: The Safer Detergent
Stewardship Initiative is a voluntary
program administered by EPA to offer
resources and recognition to businesses
involved in the transition to safer
surfactants. Surfactants are a major
ingredient in cleaning products such as
detergents, cleaners, airplane de-icers

Jkt 223001
and fire-fighting foams. Safer surfactants
are those that break down quickly to
non-polluting compounds.
Under SDSI, businesses that have
fully transitioned to safer surfactants, or
(for non-profits, academic institutions,
etc.) can document outstanding efforts
to encourage the use of safer surfactants,
are granted Champion status. At this
level, the participant is invited to the
SDSI Awards ceremony, listed on the
EPA SDSI Web site as a champion, and
may use a special logo in their literature
to help explain their participation in the
program. Businesses that commit to a
full and timely transition to safer
surfactants, or (for non-profits, academic
institutions, etc.) can document
outstanding efforts to encourage the use
of safer surfactants, are granted Partner
status. This category provides
recognition of significant
accomplishments towards the use of
safer surfactants. Partners will be listed
on the EPA SDSI Web site and may be
granted recognition as a Champion in
the future if appropriate.
Responses to the collection of
information are voluntary. Respondents
may claim all or part of a notice
confidential. EPA will disclose
information that is covered by a CBI
claim only to the extent permitted by,
and in accordance with, the procedures
in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
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 title 40
of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9 and included on the related
collection instrument or form, if
applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 10 hours per
response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are establishments or
organizations engaged in formulating,
producing, purchasing or distributing
surfactants or products containing
surfactants.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Estimated average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
14.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 140 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $7,770.
Changes in Burden Estimates: This
request reflects a decrease of 3,610

hours (from 3,750 hours to 140 hours)
in the total estimated respondent
burden from that currently in the OMB
inventory. This decrease reflects
improved estimates of the number of
applications EPA expects to receive,
based on actual experience in
administering the SDSI program. The
Supporting Statement provides details
on the change in burden estimate. The
change is an adjustment.

Title: Asbestos-Containing Materials
in Schools and Asbestos Model
Accreditation Plans.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew
an existing approved collection that is
scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011.
Under 5 CFR 1320.12(b)(2), the Agency
may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: The Asbestos Hazard
Emergency Response Act (AHERA)
authorizes EPA to promulgate rules
appropriate for Local Education
Agencies (LEAs) to conduct inspections,
develop management plans, and design
or conduct response actions with
respect to the presence of asbestoscontaining materials in school
buildings. AHERA also requires states to
develop model accreditation plans for
persons who perform asbestos
inspections, develop management
control plans, and design or conduct
response actions. This information
collection addresses the burden
associated with reporting and
recordkeeping requirements imposed on
LEAs by the asbestos in schools rule,
and reporting and recordkeeping
requirements imposed on state agencies
and training providers related to the
model accreditation plan rule.
Responses to the collection of
information are mandatory (see 40 CFR
763 subpart E). Respondents may claim
all or part of a notice as CBI. EPA will
disclose information that is covered by
a CBI claim only to the extent permitted
by, and in accordance with, the
procedures in 40 CFR part 2.
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 title 40
of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9 and included on the related
collection instrument or form, if
applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to range between about 5.5
hours and 140 hours per response,
depending upon the category of the
respondent. Burden is defined in 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are local education agencies
(LEAs, e.g., elementary or secondary
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

public school districts or a private
school or school system); asbestos
training providers to schools and
educational systems; and state
education departments or commissions
or state public health departments or
commissions.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Estimated average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated No. of Respondents:
133,980.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,592,888 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$86,972,753.
Changes in Burden Estimates: This
request reflects an increase of 62,288
hours (from 2,530,600 hours to
2,592,888 hours) in the total estimated
respondent burden from that currently
in the OMB inventory. This increase
reflects EPA’s estimates of an increased
number of LEAs and training providers
affected by this information collection.
Most of this increase is associated with
an increase in the number of schools
with nonfriable asbestos-containing
materials (ACM). The Supporting
Statement provides details on the
change in burden estimate. The change
is an adjustment.

Title: Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools and Asbestos Model
Accreditation Plans.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved
collection that is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011. Under 5 CFR
1320.12(b)(2), the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)
authorizes EPA to promulgate rules appropriate for Local Education
Agencies (LEAs) to conduct inspections, develop management plans, and
design or conduct response actions with respect to the presence of
asbestos-containing materials in school buildings. AHERA also requires
states to develop model accreditation plans for persons who perform

conduct response actions. This information collection addresses the
burden associated with reporting and recordkeeping requirements imposed
on LEAs by the asbestos in schools rule, and reporting and
recordkeeping requirements imposed on state agencies and training
providers related to the model accreditation plan rule.
Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR 763 subpart E). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice as
CBI. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a CBI claim only
to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in
40 CFR part 2.
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 title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and included on the related
collection instrument or form, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between
about 5.5 hours and 140 hours per response, depending upon the category
of the respondent. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are local education agencies (LEAs, e.g., elementary or
secondary public school districts or a private school or school
system); asbestos training providers to schools and educational
systems; and state education departments or commissions or state public
health departments or commissions.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 133,980.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 2,592,888 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $86,972,753.
Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects an increase of
62,288 hours (from 2,530,600 hours to 2,592,888 hours) in the total
estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory.
This increase reflects EPA's estimates of an increased number of LEAs
and training providers affected by this information collection. Most of
this increase is associated with an increase in the number of schools
with nonfriable asbestos-containing materials (ACM). The Supporting
Statement provides details on the change in burden estimate. The change
