ICR Title: Chemical-Specific Rules, 

TSCA Section 8(a). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No.1198.10, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0067. 

ICR status: The current OMB approval 

for this ICR is scheduled to expire on 

June 30, 2014. Under OMB regulations, 

the Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. 

Abstract: Section 8(a) of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

authorizes EPA to promulgate rules that 

require persons who manufacture, 

import or process chemical substances 

and mixtures, or who propose to 

manufacture, import, or process 

chemical substances and mixtures, to 

maintain such records and submit such 

reports to EPA as may be reasonably 

required. Any chemical covered by 

TSCA for which EPA or another Federal 

agency has a reasonable need for 

information and which cannot be 

satisfied via other sources is a proper 

potential subject for a Chemical-Specific 

TSCA Section 8(a) Rulemaking. 

Information that may be collected under 

TSCA section 8(a) includes, but is not 

limited to, chemical names; categories 

of use; production or processing 

volume, byproducts of chemical 

production, processing, use or disposal; 

existing data concerning environmental 

and health effects; exposure data; and 

disposal information. 

Generally, EPA uses chemical-specific 

information under TSCA section 8(a) to 

evaluate the potential for adverse 

human health and environmental effects 

caused by the manufacture (including 

import), processing, use or disposal of 

identified chemical substances and 

mixtures. Additionally, EPA may use 

TSCA section 8(a) information to assess 

the need or set priorities for testing and/ 

or further regulatory action. To the 

extent that the submitter considers the 

reported information not to be 

confidential, environmental groups, 

environmental justice advocates, state 

and local government entities and other 

members of the public will also have 

access to this information for their use. 

Respondents may claim all or part of 

a response confidential. EPA will 

disclose information that is covered by 

a claim of confidentiality only to the 

extent permitted by, and in accordance 

with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 

and 40 CFR part 2. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

primarily those businesses that fall 

under NAICS codes 325, Chemical 

Manufacturers and Processors, and 

324110, Petroleum Refineries. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (see 40 CFR 704). 

Estimated number of respondents: 4 

(total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 275 hours per 

year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $16,551 per 

year, includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation and maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is no 

change in the number of hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB.

ICR Title: Plant Incorporated 

Protectants; CBI Substantiation and 

Adverse Effects Reporting. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1693.08, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0142. 

ICR status: The current OMB approval 

for this ICR is scheduled to expire on 

June 30, 2014. Under OMB regulations, 

the Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at

Abstract: This ICR addresses the two 

information collection requirements 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 123 / Thursday, June 26, 2014 / Notices 36315 

described in regulations pertaining to 

pesticidal substances that are produced 

by plants (plant-incorporated 

protectants) and which are codified in 

40 CFR part 174. A plant-incorporated 

protectant is defined as ‘‘the pesticidal 

substance that is intended to be 

produced and used in a living plant and 

the genetic material necessary for the 

production of such a substance.’’ Many, 

but not all, plant-incorporated 

protectants are exempt from registration 

requirements under the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA). Registrants sometimes 

include in a submission to EPA for 

registration of plant-incorporated 

protectants information that they claim 

to be confidential business information 

(CBI). CBI is protected by FIFRA and 

generally cannot be released to the 

public. Under 40 CFR part 174, 

whenever a registrant claims that 

information submitted to EPA in 

support of a registration application for 

plant-incorporated protectants contains 

CBI, the registrant must substantiate 

such claims when they are made, rather 

than provide it later upon request by 

EPA. In addition, manufacturers of 

plant-incorporated protectants that are 

otherwise exempted from the 

requirements of registration must report 

adverse effects of the plant-incorporated 

protectant to the Agency. Such reporting 

will allow the Agency to determine 

whether further action is needed to 

prevent unreasonable adverse effects to 

the environment. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR include 

producers and importers of Plant 

Incorporated Protectants (PIPs). The 

North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes for 

respondents under this ICR include: 

325320 (Pesticide and other Agricultural 

Chemical Manufacturing), 325414 

(Biological Products (except Diagnostic) 

Manufacturing), 422910 (Farm Supplies 

Wholesalers), 422930 (Flower, Nursery 

Stock, and Florists’s Suppliers), 541710 

(Research and Development in the 

Physical, Engineering, and Life 

Sciences), and 611310 (Colleges, 

Universities, and Professional Schools). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 20. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 432 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $31,371 (per 

year). There are no annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs 

associated with this ICR. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

increase of 43 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase reflects EPA’s 

updating of burden estimates for this 

collection based upon historical 

information on the number of CBI 

substantiations per year. Based upon 

revised estimates, the number of CBI 

substantiations per year has increased 

from 18 to 20, with a corresponding 

increase in the associated burden. This 

change is an adjustment.
