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 OMB.

Abstract: This ICR addresses the two information collection requirements


### 36315 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 123 / Thursday, June 26, 2014 / Notices

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.
