The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Section 609 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Act) provides general guidelines for the recovery and recycling of motor vehicle air conditioners. It states that ‘‘no person repairing or servicing motor vehicles for consideration may perform any service on a motor vehicle air conditioner involving the refrigerant for such air conditioner without properly using approved refrigerant recovery and/or recovery and recycling equipment (hereafter referred to as ‘‘refrigerant handling equipment’’) and no such person may perform such service unless such person has been properly trained and certified.’’ In 1992, EPA developed regulations under section 609 that were published in 57 FR 31240, and codified at 40 CFR Subpart B (Section 82.30 et seq.). The information required to be collected under the Section 609 regulations is: Approved refrigerant handling equipment; approved independent standards testing organizations; technician training and certification; and certification, reporting and recordkeeping. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 5 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: The following is a list of NAICS codes for organizations potentially affected by the information requirements covered under this ICR. It is meant to include any VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 Oct 30, 2015 Jkt 238001 establishment that may service or maintain motor vehicle air conditioners. 4411 Automobile Dealers; 4413 Automotive Parts, Accessories, and Tire Stores; 44711 Gasoline Stations with Convenience Stores; 45299 All Other General Merchandise Stores; 811198 All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance; Other affected groups include: Independent Standards Testing Organizations; Organizations with Technician Certification Programs. Estimated Number of Respondents: 50,318. Frequency of Response: On occasion, biennially, only once. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,164. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $224,619.62, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 359 hours in g the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to an adjustment in the calculation to estimate the burden resulting from required submissions for new equipment certifications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. General Information The ASHUE ROAD SITE is located at Section 17, Township 11, Range 19 in Wapato, Yakima County, WA, and is located on fee property within the reservation for the Yakama Nation. The Site covers approximately 2.46 acres. PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 There is a residential home within the Site. The area surrounding the Site supports agricultural and residential uses. During 2012 a portion of the Wapato High School in Wapato, Washington was demolished. The Wapato School District No. 207 engaged T.W. Clark Construction, LLC as the general contractor for the demolition work. T.W. Clark Construction, LLC hired Groat Bros., Inc. as sub-contractor for performing demolition work and transporting demolition materials from the High School. The demolition work included the demolition of materials that contained asbestos. A portion of materials generated during the Wapato High School demolition project were transported to the Site for disposal. The Site is not licensed by the State of Washington, Yakima County, or the Yakama Nation to receive demolition materials or materials that contain hazardous substances for disposal. EPA conducted a field investigation of the Site on October 5, 2012. EPA’s investigation revealed the presence of asbestos in the demolished materials disposed of at the Site. Asbestos is a hazardous substance. EPA oversaw the performance of a removal action at the Site by T.W. Clark Construction, LLC, and Groat Bros. Inc. The removal action involved the excavation and off-Site disposal of the high school demolition wastes. EPA incurred approximately $311,330.96 performing or overseeing the performance of response costs at the Site. Pursuant to the terms of the CERCLA Section 122(h)(1) Settlement Agreement for Recovery of Response Costs, the settling parties will pay EPA $95,000. In return for the payment of this amount, EPA covenants not to sue the settling parties for past response costs—response costs incurred by EPA prior to the effective date of the Settlement Agreement—at the Site. In the event that EPA continues to incur response costs at the Site, EPA’s covenant not to sue does not include costs incurred by EPA after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement.
