reasonable time frame as it includes the time to go out and do an inspection to make sure everything is in compliance. A conversation took place describing the different types of inspections and violations. Item # 7 TANK FEE AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAM UPDATE Ms. Antonette Cordova, the Tank Fees and Certification Program Manager, provided the following summary. FY15 Invoicing: FY15 invoices were sent to Tank Owners and Operators in late May. Over 1000 invoices were sent out. The second invoicing cycle for late payments was in mid-September. Currently there are approximately 44 FY15 delinquent owners, and payments are still being received. Tank Installer Certification: The program certified four Certified Tank Installers in FY14 and received six applications. One application is pending on-site exam completion, and one applicant failed the on-site exam. One application was received in FY15 and it is in process, pending the on-site exam. Eight Certified Installers are due for renewal in 2015, and reminder letters will be sent to those installers in early December. Operator Training: The program is currently updating the database to track operator training requirements per facility and designated A/B Operator. The Program met with classroom trainers to gather facility and operator information at time of class registration and will soon be meeting with the on-line provider to discuss the same registration requirements. Once all database upgrades have been made to accommodate tracking, a letter will be sent to all owners requesting that they designated their A/B Operators. This will allow the Bureau to track the A/B Operator compliance by facility and notify those owners that are out of compliance with the requirements or require retraining. Mr. Hodges asked how the Bureau would track owners who have numerous A/B operators. Ms. Cordova stated at class registration they can indicate all their associated facilities, and if they have multiple A/B Operators they can call the provider and list them accordingly. Mr. McLin asked if at the next meeting the Committee could see the report that the Program gives to EPA to get a better understanding of how the Program tracks compliance rates. Item # 8 OTHER BUISNESS Ms. Dawn Bascomb gave a presentation on the remedial action at Mike’s Auto Detail, a Site in Belen, NM and fielded questions and discussion accordingly. Item # 9 NEXT MEETING The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for 8, 2015.
