    Abstract: This is a request to renew the approval of an information
collection involving third-party notification, required under section
406(b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), to owners and
occupants of housing--informing them about the dangers of lead-
contaminated dust and paint debris that are sometimes generated during
renovations of housing where lead-based paint is present. Section
406(b) of TSCA requires EPA to promulgate regulations requiring certain
persons who perform renovations for compensation on target housing to
provide a lead hazard information pamphlet (developed under TSCA
section 406(a)) to the owner and occupants of such housing prior to
beginning the renovation. Further, the firm performing the renovation
must keep records acknowledging receipt of the pamphlet on file for
three years after completion of work. Those who fail to provide the
pamphlet or keep records as required may be subject to both civil and
criminal sanctions.
    This information collection also addresses the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements for individuals or firms conducting lead-
based paint activities or renovation in or on houses, apartments, or
child-occupied facilities built before 1978, under the authority of
sections 402 and 404 of TSCA. These sections and their implementing
regulations require EPA to develop and administer a training and
certification program as well as work practice standards for persons
who perform lead-based paint activities or renovations. With respect to
target housing or child-occupied facilities, 40 CFR part 745, subpart
E, covers work practice standards, recordkeeping and reporting
requirements, individual and firm certification, and enforcement for
renovations while 40 CFR part 745, subpart L, covers inspections, lead
hazard screens, risk assessments, and abatement activities. 40 CFR part
745, subpart Q, establishes the requirements that state or tribal
programs must meet for authorization to administer the standards,
regulations, or other requirements established under TSCA Section 402.
    Respondents may claim all or part of a document confidential. EPA
will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality
only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures
in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Form Numbers: 8500-25; 8500-27; 747-B-99-002.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR include persons who are engaged in lead-based paint activities
and/or perform renovations of target housing or child-occupied
facilities for compensation, dust sampling, or dust testing; or who
perform lead-based paint inspections, lead hazard screens, risk
assessments or abatements in target housing or child-occupied
facilities; or who provide training or operate a training program for
individuals who perform any of these activities; or state, territorial
or tribal agencies that administer lead-based paint activities and/or
renovation programs.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 745).
    Estimated number of respondents: 770,564 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 5,251,320 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $303,099,637 (per year), includes $15,274,835
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,211,977 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This change reflects decreases to the estimated number
of respondents based on the number of respondents reporting to EPA for
the prior information collection as well as changes in the number of
events for certain paperwork activities based on market factors. In
addition, the renewal ICR presents estimated annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs of approximately $15,274,835. These costs
were inadvertently excluded from the Agency's estimates in the existing
ICR.

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision. The Maryland SIP revision
demonstrates attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS) for the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City,
PA-NJ-MD-DE moderate nonattainment area (Philadelphia Area) by the
applicable attainment date of June 2011. EPA is approving the SIP
revision in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act
(CAA).

DATES: This final rule is effective on November 28, 2012.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-R03-OAR-2008-0929. All documents in the docket are listed in
the www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the electronic

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On August 23, 2012 (77 FR 50966), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Maryland. The NPR proposed
approval of the attainment demonstration portion of Maryland's
attainment plan for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Philadelphia
Area. The formal SIP revision (07-05) was submitted by
Maryland on June 4, 2007.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    The SIP revision consists of the attainment demonstration portion
of the attainment plan submitted by Maryland as a SIP revision on June
4, 2007 to demonstrate attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for
the Philadelphia Area by the applicable attainment date of June 2011.
EPA previously approved other portions of the Maryland attainment plan
submitted on June 4, 2007. See 75 FR 33172 (June 11, 2010). EPA has
determined that the weight of evidence analysis that Maryland used to
support the attainment demonstration provides sufficient evidence that
the Philadelphia Area would attain the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS by the
applicable attainment date of June 2011. Specific requirements of the
attainment demonstration and the rationale for EPA's proposed action to
approve the attainment demonstration are explained in the NPR and in
the technical support document (TSD) for the NPR and will not be
restated here. No public comments were received on the NPR.
    Separately, EPA conducted a process to find adequate the motor
vehicle emission budgets (MVEBs) for Cecil County which are associated
with the Maryland attainment demonstration for the Philadelphia Area. A
notice was posted on EPA's Web site for a 30-day public comment period
on the adequacy determination for the 2009 MVEBs associated with the
attainment demonstration for Cecil County. No comments were received
during the public comment period. Therefore, EPA finds adequate the
MVEBs for transportation conformity purposes for Cecil County,
Maryland.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the attainment demonstration portion of the
attainment plan for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS which was submitted by
Maryland on June 4, 2007. EPA has determined that Maryland's SIP
revision demonstrates attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the
Philadelphia Area by the applicable attainment date. EPA has determined
that the SIP revision meets the applicable requirements of the CAA. EPA
is also approving and finding adequate the 2009 MVEBs associated with
the attainment demonstration for Cecil County, Maryland.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L.104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by December 28, 2012. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action pertaining to the Maryland attainment demonstration
for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Philadelphia Area may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)
