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

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 thisaction 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**

**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 National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD). EPA is releasing this draft assessment for the purposes of public comment and peer review. This draft assessment is not final as described in EPA’s information quality guidelines, and it does not represent and should not be construed to represent Agency policy or views.

The public comment period and the SAB peer review are separate processes that provide opportunities for all interested parties to comment on the document. The SABwill schedule one or more public peerreview meetings, which will be announced in the Federal Register at a later date.

EPA is also announcing a listening session to be held on Thursday, July 12, 2012, during the public comment period. The purpose of the listening session is to allow all interested parties to present scientific and technical comments on the draft IRIS health assessment to EPA and other interested parties attending the listening session.

**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
