A motion for leave to serve additional interrogatories must be filed and granted prior to the service of the proposed additional interrogatories; and must be accompanied by a copy of the interrogatories, if any, which have already been served by the moving party, and by a copy of the interrogatories proposed to be served. If a party upon which interrogatories have been served believes that the number of interrogatories served exceed the limitation specified in this paragraph, and is not willing to waive this basis for objection, the party shall, within the time for (and instead of) serving answers and specific objections to the interrogatories. serve.a general objection on the ground of their excessive number. If the inquiring party, in turn, files a motion to compel discovery, the motion must be accompanied by a copy of the set(s) of interrogatories which together are said to exceed the limitation, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) of this section.

[FR Doc. 91-21984 Filed 9-11-91:8:45 am] NX1MO COOE SSW-M-M ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 61 [FRL-3WS-41 Asbestos NESHAP Training Requirements for On-Sita Representative agency: Environmental Protection Agency. action: Notice of guidance. summary: The purpose of this guidance is to explain how the new Asbestos NESHAP training requirements may be met. The Asbestos NESHAP was revised on November 20,1990. One of the new requirements of the Asbestos NESHAP is that an on-site representative (such as a foreman or management level person), trained in the asbestos demolition and renovation provisions and the means of complying with them, be present when the regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) is stripped, removed or otherwise handled or disturbed. Evidence that the required training has been completed shall be posted at the demolition or renovation site and made available for inspection by EPA or the delegated Agency. EFFECTIVE DATS: November 2a 1991. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Omayra SaJgado at (703) 308-872& SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Reauthorization Act (ASHARA), signed into law on November 28,199a included an amendment to the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) which requires that EPA revise the AHERA Model Accreditation Plan, originally intended only for schools, to extend accreditation requirements to Include persons performing asbestosrelated work in public and commercial buildings. These requirements would apply to the asbestos removal associated with the demolition and renovation of buildings that are subject to the NESHAP. These requirements may be in effect as early as 1992. When the Asbestos NESHAP was last revised, these statutory changes had not been foreseen. As a consequence, the Asbestos NESHAP, contained a requirement for training and a refresher course. EPA wishes to avoid duplicative asbestos training requirements, therefore, the Agency has decided to recognize valid accreditation as an AHERA Asbestos Abatement Contractor/Supervisor aa satisfying the Asbestos NESHAP training requirements. The Asbestos Abatement Contractor/ Supervisor curriculum is a training program under the current AHERA that meets the NESHAP requirements. Persons are presently required to complete four days of training and then pass an examination to become accredited under this program. Completion of the Asb :tos Abatement Contractor/Supervisor training course to comply with the NESHAP training requirement is strongly recommended since ail persons performing asbestosrelated work will be required to take AHERA training when EPA revises the AHERA Model Accreditation Plan to Include public and commercial buildings. In light of this requirement it would appear to be ill-advised to develop a training course that does not qualify for AHERA accreditation. Guidance Successful completion of the AHERA Model Accreditation Plancourse titled Asbestos Abatement Contractor/Supervisor is strongly recommended to satisfy the Asbestos NESHAP training requirements. Completion of the Asbestos Abatement Contractor/Supervisor refresher training course every 2 years will comply with the Asbestos NESHAP training requirements. However, completion of the refresher course, every year, is required to maintain AHERA accreditation. For this reason an accredited person probably will need to complete the refresher course each year in order to continue working as an AHERA accredited Contractor/ Supervisor, and also to qualify for refresher training. Those persons who are accredited as an AHERA Asbestos Abatement Contractor/Supervisor at the time the NESHAP training requirement takes effect (November 20.1991), will be accredited as a NESHAP on-site representative until the certificate expiration date. Completion of the appropriate AHERA refresher training is required thereafter. Dated: September 8.1991. John B. Ramie, Director, Stationary Source Compliance Division, Office ofAir Quality Planning and Standards.

HHS. action: Interim final rule with comment summary: Under certain circumstances. States are currently permitted to use voluntary contributions (donated funds) from providers and all revenues from State-imposed taxes, as the State share of the costs of the Medicaid program. There is now widespread use of State donations or other voluntary provider payment programs that unfairly affect the Federal share of Federal Financial Participation (FFP). This practice circumvents the States' statutory obligation to expend funds for medical assistance. Therefore, effective January 1.1992. this interim final rule requires. that the amount of funds donated from Medicaid providers be offset from Medicaid expenditures incurred on or VALERO/MOAKE 42 Northwest Envirocon, Inc.

P.0. Box 4074 Corpus Christi, TX 78408 ATTENTION: CLIFTON LANGTON SUBJECT: LAB SERVICE NUMBER 0790.1339 On June 24, 1990, HSM Laboratories received five filter cassette samples for analysis. The analytical result of each sample was determined following NIOSH method 7400 (Rule A) . Wedges from each sample filter were examined under a phase contrast microscope at a magnification of 400x. All fibers and particulates longer than five microns with a length-towidth ratio of 3:1 or greater were counted as asbestos. The fiber concentration of each filter was then calculated based on the number of fibers per fields counted and the volume of air drawn through the sampling media. HSM Laboratories participates in the NIOSH Proficiency Analytical Testing (PAT) program for phase contrast microscopy (NIOSH PAT #77029-001). Other methods of Quality Assurance/Quality Control include recounts, interlaboratory analysis and blanks. Analysts have completed the NIOSH 582 Equivalency course "Airborne Asbestos Sampling and Laboratory Analysis". HSM Laboratories appreciates the opportunity to provide analytical services.
