Title: Continuous Release Reporting 

Regulations (CRRR) under CERCLA 

1980 (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1445.11, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0086. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2011. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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 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 in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: Section 103(a) of CERCLA, 

as amended, requires the person in 

charge of a vessel or facility to 

immediately notify the National 

Response Center (NRC) of a hazardous 

substance release into the environment 

if the amount of the release equals or 

exceeds the substance’s reportable 

quantity (RQ). The RQ of every 

hazardous substance can be found in 

Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4. 

Section 103(f)(2) of CERCLA provides 

facilities relief from this per-occurrence 

notification requirement if the 

hazardous substance release at or above 

the RQ is continuous and stable in 

quantity and rate. Under the Continuous 

Release Reporting Requirements 

(CRRR), to report such a release as a 

continuous release you must make an 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
67436 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 211 / Tuesday, November 1, 2011 / Notices 

initial telephone call to the NRC, submit 

an initial written report to the EPA 

Region, and, if the source and chemical 

composition of the continuous release 

does not change and the level of the 

continuous release does not 

significantly increase, submit a followup written report to the EPA Region one 

year after submission of the initial 

written report. If the source or chemical 

composition of the previously reported 

continuous release changes, notifying 

the NRC and EPA Region of a change in 

the source or composition of the release 

is required. Further, a significant 

increase in the level of the previously 

reported continuous release must be 

reported immediately to the NRC 

according to section 103(a) of CERCLA. 

Finally, any change in information 

submitted in support of a continuous 

release notification must be reported to 

the EPA Region. 

The reporting of a hazardous 

substance release that is equal to or 

above the substance’s RQ allows the 

Federal government to determine 

whether a Federal response action is 

required to control or mitigate any 

potential adverse effects to public health 

or welfare or the environment. 

The continuous release of hazardous 

substance information collected under 

CERCLA section 103(f)(2) is also 

available to EPA program offices and 

other Federal agencies who use the 

information to evaluate the potential 

need for additional regulations, new 

permitting requirements for specific 

substances or sources, or improved 

emergency response planning. State and 

local government authorities and 

facilities subject to the CRRR use release 

information for purposes of local 

emergency response planning. Members 

of the public, who have access to release 

information through the Freedom of 

Information Act, may request release 

information for purposes of maintaining 

an awareness of what types of releases 

are occurring in different localities and 

what actions, if any, are being taken to 

protect public health and welfare and 

the environment. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 10.2 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: The 

usage and release of hazardous 

substances are pervasive throughout 

industry. EPA expects a number of 

different industrial categories to report 

hazardous substance releases under the 

provisions of the CRRR. No one industry 

sector or group of sectors is 

disproportionately affected by the 

information collection burden. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,865. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

315,966. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$15,456,936 includes $146,705 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 14,625 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase reflects EPA’s 

use of data on the actual number of 

continuous release reports from several 

regions and applying a growth rate 

consistent with prior years reporting. 

The average annual percent increase in 

facilities in the previous ICR was 

approximately 7.5%. The same percent 

increase was assumed for this ICR. The 

unit burden hours per respondent 

information collection activity remains 

the same as the previous ICR.
