### 37804 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 121 / Monday, June 24, 2013 / Notices

associated with the next phase of an existing program. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

Abstract: This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with Tier 2 data collection activities for certain chemicals under EPA’s EDSP. The EDSP is established under section 408(p) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) (21 U.S.C. 346a(p)), which requires EPA to develop a chemical screening program using appropriate validated test systems and other scientifically relevant information to determine whether certain substances may have hormonaleffects. The EDSP consists of a twotiered approach to screen chemicals for potential endocrine disrupting effects. The purpose of Tier 1 screening is to identify substances that have the potential to interact with the estrogen, androgen, or thyroid hormone systems using a battery of assays. Substances that have the potential to interact with estrogen, androgen or thyroid hormone systems may proceed to Tier 2, which is designed to identify any adverse endocrine-related effects caused by the substance, and establish a quantitative relationship between the dose and that endocrine effect. Additional information about the EDSP is available through the Agency’s Web site at http:// www.epa.gov/endo.

This ICR addresses the information collection activities for those chemicals that were screened under Tier 1 of the EDSP and are now proceeding to testing under Tier 2 of the EDSP. The ICR covers the full range of information collection activities associated with Tier 2 of the EDSP, including the paperwork activities associated with the issuance of Tier 2 orders, initial responses from order recipients, paperwork activities associated with generating the data requested, and submitting the data to EPA pursuant to the order. Under the PRA, the ICR is intended to cover a 3- year period.

Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between 204 and 9,750 hours, depending on the respondent category, with an estimated burden cost between $18,842 and $602,488. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:

Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by the collection activities in this ICR are those individuals and companies that receive an EDSP Tier 2 order issued by the Agency. Under FFDCA section 408(p)(5)(A), EPA ‘‘shall issue’’ EDSP test orders ‘‘to a registrant of a substance for which testing is required . . . or to a person who manufactures or imports a substance for which testing is required.’’

Estimated total number of potential respondents: 210.

Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.

Estimated total annual burden hours: 110,750 hours.

Estimated total annual costs: $7,375,603. This primarily represents estimated burden cost, with related administrative costs of $104. Given the nature of the activities, there are no costs estimated for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. III. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Title: NESHAP for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1678.08, OMB Control Number 2060–
0326.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.

Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE.

Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum. Respondents/Affected Entities: Magnetic tape manufacturing operations.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 6. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, semiannually and annually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,905. ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $425,110, which includes $378,110 in labor costs, $11,000 in capital/startup costs, and $36,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is due to an adjustment in labor rates and updated assumptions used to estimate technical hours per year. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs.

In addition to updated labor rates, there is an update to the assumptions used to estimate technical hours per year for the calculated burden costs. In the previous ICR, it was assumed that the per respondent burden hour for each activity accounts for technical, managerial, and clerical hours. In order to have consistency in the burden calculations in the ICR renewal process, this ICR assumes the per respondent burden hour accounts for technical hours only. This results in a slight increase in burden hours and costs for both the respondents and the Agency.
