§ 2104. Accreditation standards and procedures
(a) Regulations of department.--The department shall by regulation establish standards and procedures for the accreditation of asbestos occupation training courses. These regulations shall be at least as stringent and as consistent as possible as those established by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-519, 15 U.S.C. § 2641 et seq.) or those established for certain occupations by the Environmental Protection Agency under the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR Part 41). These regulations shall include, but not be limited to:
(4) The department may allow the use of training courses offered in other states or jurisdictions to satisfy the Pennsylvania training requirements, if the department finds that the training received in the other states or jurisdiction meet the requirement for training courses under this act and the regulations promulgated under this act.
(5) All training courses approved by the Environmental Protection Agency on the effective date of this act shall be deemed to be accredited under this section. However, nothing in this section shall prohibit the department from requiring any training provider to comply with its renewal requirements in order to have its accreditation renewed.
(6) Upon the effective date of this act, the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency's Model Accreditation Program contained in 40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E, Appendix C, establishing the Federal requirements for certification of training courses are adopted as the initial interim standards under this act. These interim accreditation requirements shall remain in effect until the department promulgates regulations under subsection (a).
