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 hormonal 

effects. 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. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

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.
