[FRL-5411-6]

The Joint EPA/CMA Training Module and Self-Auditing Checklist on

Section 608 Leak Repair Amendment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of the Training Module and Self-auditing

Checklist for Industrial Process Refrigeration Leak Repair Regulations

under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency announces the availability

of a training module and a self-auditing checklist developed jointly by

EPA and the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) to supplement the

``Compliance Guidance for Industrial Process Refrigeration Leak Repair

Regulations Under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act'' (Document number:

EPA 300-B-95-010). This guidance document was developed based on the

recently promulgated amendments to the leak repair requirements under

Section 608 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. In addition to the

guidance document, we developed the training module and the self-

auditing checklist as part of the compliance assistance effort EPA

piloted with CMA. EPA believes that the combination of the guidance

document, training module and the self-auditing checklist provides a

complete, well balanced compliance assistance package that will

facilitate early and substantial compliance.

Both the training module and the checklist are developed based on

the content of the guidance document. Therefore, they are providing the

same guidance in slightly different formats.

Hard copies of the training module and the auditing checklist are

available free of charge to the public through the EPA Stratospheric

Ozone Information Hotline. Electronic copies of both the training

module and the checklist are available at cost from CMA.

DATES: These two documents will be available to the public in early

February 1996.

ADDRESSES: Hard copies of the training module (EPA 300-B-96-001) and

the self-auditing checklist (EPA 300-B-96-002) may be obtained by

calling the Stratospheric Protection Hotline at (1-800-296-1996) from 9

a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on Federal holidays.

Electronic copies can be obtained at cost from CMA at (703) 741-5232.
