Abstract: The authority for these 

requirements is sections 311 and 312 of 

the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11011, 11012). 

EPCRA Section 311 requires owners and 

operators of facilities subject to OSHA 

Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) 

to submit a list of chemicals or MSDSs 

(for those chemicals that exceed 

thresholds, specified in 40 CFR part 

370) to the State Emergency Response 

Commission (SERC) or Tribal 

Emergency Response Commission 

(TERC), Local Emergency Planning 

Committee (LEPC) or Tribal Emergency 

Planning Committee (TEPC) and the 

local fire department (LFD) with 

jurisdiction over their facility. This is a 

one-time requirement unless a facility 

becomes subject to the regulations or 

has updated information on the 

hazardous chemicals that were already 

submitted by the facility. EPCRA 

Section 312 requires owners and 

operators of facilities subject to OSHA 

HCS to submit an inventory form (for 

those chemicals that exceed the 

thresholds, specified in 40 CFR part 

370) to the SERC (or TERC), LEPC (or 

TEPC), and LFD with jurisdiction over 

their facility. This inventory form, Tier 

II (Emergency and Hazardous Chemical 

Inventory Form), is to be submitted on 

March 1 of each year and must include 

the inventory of hazardous chemicals 

present at the facility in the previous 

calendar year. 

On July 13, 2012, EPA published a 

final rule to add some new data 

elements to the facility identification 

and contact information sections of the 

Tier I and Tier II inventory forms. EPA 

also revised some existing data elements 

in the chemical reporting section of the 

Tier II form to ease reporting for 

facilities and make the forms more userfriendly for state and local agencies. The 

data elements that EPA added to the 

forms were requested by state and local 

agencies to improve their emergency 

response plans and response 

coordination during an emergency. The 

additional data elements, including 

general facility identification and 

contact information for the parent 

company, owner or operator of the 

company, facility emergency 

coordinator etc., are readily available to 

facilities and usually do not change 

from year to year. The burden and costs 

for adding these data elements, 

including one-time burden for 

familiarization by respondents and 

software updates by state agencies, as 

well as the additional annual burden, 

are approved under OMB Control 

Number 2050–0206. The facility-level 

burden to complete the new and revised 

data elements of per facility approved 

under OMB Control Number is being 

added to this ICR. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers and non-manufacturers 

required to have available a Material 

Safety Data Sheet (or Safety Data Sheet) 

under the OSHA HCS. 

Form Numbers: Tier II Emergency and 

Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form, 

EPA Form No. 8700–30. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (Sections 311 and 312 of 

EPCRA). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

465,692 (includes 3,052 SERCs and 

LEPCs). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 6,963,565 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $301,067,822 

(per year), includes $5,415,824 in 

annualized capital and operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of 1,048,311 hours compared to 

the previous ICR approved by OMB. 

This increase in burden is attributable 

mainly to the 15.66 percent increase in 

the estimated number of facilities 

subject to Tier II reporting, based on a 

recount of the number of facilities in the 

E-Plan database and information 

provided by EPA Regions, and the 

additional burden for Inventory 

Reporting Activity from the 

consolidation of 2050–0206 with this 

ICR. A small portion of the change in 

burden is attributable to the correction 

of math errors in the previous ICR 

renewal.

Underground Injection Control 

Program; Hazardous Waste Injection 

Restrictions; Petition for Exemption 

Reissuance—Class I Hazardous Waste 

Injection; ANGUS Chemical Company 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of a final decision on a 

UIC no migration petition reissuance. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a 

reissuance of an exemption to the Land 

Disposal Restrictions, under the 1984 

Hazardous and Solid Waste 

Amendments to the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act, has 

been granted to ANGUS for two Class I 

hazardous waste injection wells located 

at their Sterlington, Louisiana site. The 

company has adequately demonstrated 

to the satisfaction of the EPA by the 

petition reissuance application and 

supporting documentation that, to a 

reasonable degree of certainty, there will 

be no migration of hazardous 

constituents from the injection zone for 

as long as the waste remains hazardous. 

This final decision allows the 

underground injection by ANGUS of the 

specific restricted hazardous waste 

(D002) identified in this exemption 

reissuance request, into Class I 

hazardous waste injection wells IW–1 

and IW–2 until December 31, 2027, 

unless the EPA moves to terminate this 

exemption. Additional conditions 

included in this final decision may be 

reviewed by contacting the EPA Region 

6 Ground Water/UIC Section. A public 

notice was issued August 28, 2018, and 

the public comment period closed on 

October 15, 2018, and no comments 

were received. This decision constitutes 

final Agency action and there is no 

Administrative appeal. 

DATES: This action is effective as of 

November 19, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition 

reissuance and all pertinent information 

relating thereto are on file at the 

following location:
