ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: EPA has initiated a proceeding to investigate whether and what type of regulatory action might be appropriate to control exposures to lead dust resulting from renovation, repair, PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and painting (RRP) activities in public and commercial buildings (P&CBs). These proceedings have been described in previous Federal Register documents, entitled ‘‘Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings’’ (advance notice of proposed rulemaking) (75 FR 24848, May 6, 2010) (FRL–8823–6); ‘‘Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings; Request for Information and Advance Notice of Public Meeting’’ (77 FR 76996, December 31, 2012) (FRL– 9373–7); and ‘‘Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings; Notice of Public Meeting and Reopening of Comment Period’’ (78 FR 27906, May 13, 2013) (FRL–9385–6). EPA plans to conduct a survey to collect information on: Building and activity patterns that may affect exposures to lead dust from RRP activities in P&CBs; the number of firms that perform RRP activities in P&CBs; the types and numbers of RRP activities that are performed; the extent to which various work practices are currently being used in RRP jobs in P&CBs; and the extent to which various work practices that help with the containment and cleanup of lead dust are currently being used in RRP jobs performed in P&CBs. The information collected through the survey (along with information submitted to EPA in response to the previous Federal Register documents for this proceeding, as well as other data sources) will allow EPA to predict a baseline for the incidence of different types of RRP activities that disturb leadbased paint in P&CBs, the methods that are used to conduct these activities, the work practices that are used to contain and clean the resulting dust, and the characteristics of the buildings where the work is performed. EPA will use this information to estimate the resulting exposures to lead dust, which will inform Agency decisionmaking about the need for and scope of potential regulatory or other actions to reduce exposures to lead dust from RRP activities in P&CBs. If EPA determines that a regulation is needed, the Agency will use this data to assess the incremental benefits and costs of potential options to reduce such exposures. The information collected through the survey is necessary to inform Agency decisionmakers about the need for and scope of regulatory or other actions to protect against risks created by RRP activities disturbing lead-based paint in P&CBs. Establishments will be selected using a stratified random sampling method. EPA plans to have a total of 402 E:\FR\FM\30JYN1.SGM 30JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 146 / Wednesday, July 30, 2014 / Notices respondents complete a questionnaire. The information collection will utilize separate questionnaires for contractors that perform RRP activities in P&CBs; lessors and managers of P&CBs that use their own staff to perform RRP activities; and building owners and occupants of P&CBs that use their own staff to perform RRP activities. The survey asks for readily available information, e.g., information known or easily accessible by respondents. Respondents/Affected Entities: RRP contractors that work in P&CBs, lessors and managers of P&CBs, and owners and occupants of P&CBs. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated total number of potential respondents: 8,485. Frequency of response: Once. Estimated Total Burden: 564 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Estimated Total Annual Costs: $34,103. This includes an estimated burden cost of $34,103 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in Burden Estimates: This is a request for a new approval from OMB. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Spencer W.

    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 
Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 are displayed either by publication in the 
Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related 
collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB 
control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 
part 9.
    Abstract: EPA has initiated a proceeding to investigate whether and 
what type of regulatory action might be appropriate to control 
exposures to lead dust resulting from renovation, repair, and painting 
(RRP) activities in public and commercial buildings (P&CBs). These 
proceedings have been described in previous Federal Register documents, 
entitled ``Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public 
and Commercial Buildings'' (advance notice of proposed rulemaking) (75 
FR 24848, May 6, 2010) (FRL-8823-6); ``Lead; Renovation, Repair, and 
Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings; Request for 
Information and Advance Notice of Public Meeting'' (77 FR 76996, 
December 31, 2012) (FRL-9373-7); and ``Lead; Renovation, Repair, and 
Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings; Notice of Public 
Meeting and Reopening of Comment Period'' (78 FR 27906, May 13, 2013) 
(FRL-9385-6). EPA plans to conduct a survey to collect information on: 
Building and activity patterns that may affect exposures to lead dust 
from RRP activities in P&CBs; the number of firms that perform RRP 
activities in P&CBs; the types and numbers of RRP activities that are 
performed; the extent to which various work practices are currently 
being used in RRP jobs in P&CBs; and the extent to which various work 
practices that help with the containment and cleanup of lead dust are 
currently being used in RRP jobs performed in P&CBs.
    The information collected through the survey (along with 
information submitted to EPA in response to the previous Federal 
Register documents for this proceeding, as well as other data sources) 
will allow EPA to predict a baseline for the incidence of different 
types of RRP activities that disturb lead-based paint in P&CBs, the 
methods that are used to conduct these activities, the work practices 
that are used to contain and clean the resulting dust, and the 
characteristics of the buildings where the work is performed. EPA will 
use this information to estimate the resulting exposures to lead dust, 
which will inform Agency decisionmaking about the need for and scope of 
potential regulatory or other actions to reduce exposures to lead dust 
from RRP activities in P&CBs. If EPA determines that a regulation is 
needed, the Agency will use this data to assess the incremental 
benefits and costs of potential options to reduce such exposures. The 
information collected through the survey is necessary to inform Agency 
decisionmakers about the need for and scope of regulatory or other 
actions to protect against risks created by RRP activities disturbing 
lead-based paint in P&CBs.
    Establishments will be selected using a stratified random sampling 
method. EPA plans to have a total of 402

respondents complete a questionnaire. The information collection will 
utilize separate questionnaires for contractors that perform RRP 
activities in P&CBs; lessors and managers of P&CBs that use their own 
staff to perform RRP activities; and building owners and occupants of 
P&CBs that use their own staff to perform RRP activities. The survey 
asks for readily available information, e.g., information known or 
easily accessible by respondents.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: RRP contractors that work in P&CBs, 
lessors and managers of P&CBs, and owners and occupants of P&CBs.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 8,485.
    Frequency of response: Once.
    Estimated Total Burden: 564 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 
1320.3(b).
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $34,103. This includes an estimated 
burden cost of $34,103 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital 
investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in Burden Estimates: This is a request for a new approval 
from OMB.
