Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 111 / Friday, June 8, 2012 / Notices 34039 

Abstract: This information collection 

request pertains to trade secrecy claims 

submitted under Section 322 of the 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). 

EPCRA contains provisions requiring 

facilities to report to State and local 

authorities, and EPA, the presence of 

extremely hazardous substances 

(Section 302), inventory of hazardous 

chemicals (Sections 311 and 312) and 

manufacture, process and use of toxic 

chemicals (Section 313). Section 322 of 

EPCRA allows a facility to withhold the 

specific chemical identity from these 

EPCRA reports if the facility asserts a 

claim of trade secrecy for that chemical 

identity. The provisions in Section 322 

establish the requirements and 

procedures that facilities must follow to 

request trade secrecy treatment of 

chemical identities, as well as the 

procedures for submitting public 

petitions to the Agency for review of the 

‘‘sufficiency’’ of trade secrecy claims. 

Trade secrecy protection is provided 

for specific chemical identities 

contained in reports submitted under 

each of the following: (1) Section 303 

(d)(2)—Facility notification of changes 

that have or are about to occur, (2) 

Section 303 (d)(3)—Local Emergency 

Planning Committee (LEPC) requests for 

facility information to develop or 

implement emergency plans, (3) Section 

311—Material Safety Data Sheets 

(MSDSs) submitted by facilities, or lists 

of those chemicals submitted in place of 

the MSDSs, (4) Section 312—Emergency 

and hazardous chemical inventory 

forms (Tier I and Tier II), and (5) Section 

313 Toxic chemical release inventory 

form. 

Burden Statement: The burden and 

costs stated below are from the current 

approved ICR. The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 9.8 hours per 

claim. Prior to submitting ICR package 

to OMB, the Agency will revise the costs 

associated with this ICR based on the 

current labor and wage rates provided in 

the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 

Employer Costs for Employee 

Compensation. 

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. 

The current approved ICR 1428.08 

provides a detailed explanation of the 

Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly 

summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are manufacturers or nonmanufacturers subject to reporting 

under sections 303, 311/312 or 313 of 

the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA). 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 481. 

Frequency of response: Trade secret 

claims are submitted by facilities either 

annually with reports submitted under 

sections 312 and 313 of EPCRA or 

during the time the LEPC request 

information under section 303 of 

EPCRA. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

4,658 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $0, 

which includes $0 annualized capital or 

O&M costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

The burden hours and costs provided 

here are from the current approved ICR. 

Prior to submitting the ICR package to 

OMB, EPA may revise the burden hours 

and costs based on the current labor and 

wage rates provided in the Bureau of 

Labor and Statistics, Employer Costs for 

Employee Compensation. 

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. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 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 technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of public comment 

period and listening session. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 60-day 

public comment period and a public 

listening session for the external review 

draft human health assessment titled 

‘‘Toxicological Review of Ammonia: In 

Support of Summary Information on the 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS)’’ (EPA/635/R–11/013A). The draft 

assessment was prepared by the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About IRIS 

IRIS is a database that contains 

potential adverse human health effects 

information that may result from 

chronic (or lifetime) exposure to specific 

chemical substances found in the 

environment. The database (available on 

the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/iris) 

contains qualitative and quantitative 

health effects information for more than 

540 chemical substances that may be 

used to support the first two steps 

(hazard identification and doseresponse evaluation) of a risk 

assessment process. When supported by 

available data, the database provides 

oral reference doses (RfDs) and 

inhalation reference concentrations 

(RfCs) for chronic health effects, and 

oral slope factors and inhalation unit 

risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined 

with specific exposure information, IRIS 

data are used by government and private 

entities to help characterize public 

health risks of chemical substances in 

site-specific situations and thereby 

support risk management decisions 

designed to protect public health. 

II. How To Register for the Listening 

Session 

To attend the July 12, 2012, listening 

session, register by July 3, 2012, by
