Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 10, 2011 / Notices 49471 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 15. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 2.2. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

948 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $59,158. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $59,158 and an estimated cost of $0 

for capital investment or maintenance 

and operational costs. 

IV. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 620 hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects a decrease in the 

assumed number of PAIR reports filed 

annually, and the average annual 

number of respondents, based on the 

past five fiscal years of PAIR reporting 

data. This change is an adjustment. 

V. 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. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. What should I consider when I 

prepare my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns. 

6. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

7. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

III. What information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this ICR are companies that 

manufacture, process or import, use, 

distribute or dispose of one or more 

specified chemical substances. 

Title: TSCA Section 4 Test Rules, 

Consent Orders, Test Rule Exemptions, 

and Voluntary Data Submission. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1139.09, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0033. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2012. 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 Code of Federal Regulations 

(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 for certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: Section 4 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) is 

designed to assure that chemicals that 

may pose serious risks to human health 

or the environment undergo testing by 

manufacturers or processors and that 

the results of such testing are made 

available to EPA. EPA uses the 

information collected under the 

authority of TSCA section 4 to assess 

risks associated with the manufacture, 

processing, distribution, use or disposal 

of a chemical, and to support any 

necessary regulatory action with respect 

to that chemical. 

EPA must assure that appropriate 

tests are performed on a chemical if it 

decides: (1) That a chemical being 

considered under TSCA section 4(a) 

may pose an ‘‘unreasonable risk’’ or is 

produced in ‘‘substantial’’ quantities 

that may result in substantial or 

significant human exposure or 

substantial environmental release of the 

chemical; (2) that additional data are 

needed to determine or predict the 

impacts of the chemical’s manufacture, 

processing, distribution, use or disposal; 

and (3) that testing is needed to develop 

such data. Rules and consent orders 

under TSCA section 4 require that one 

manufacturer or processor of a subject 

chemical perform the specified testing 

and report the results of that testing to 

EPA. TSCA section 4 also allows a 

manufacturer or processor of a subject 

chemical to apply for an exemption 

from the testing requirement if that 

testing will be or has been performed by 

another party. This information 

collection applies to reporting and 

recordkeeping activities associated with 

the information that EPA requires 

industry to provide in response to TSCA 

section 4 test rules, consent orders, test 

rule exemptions and other data 

submissions. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 790). Respondents may claim all or 

part of a document 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. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average about 224 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 174.7. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

39,233 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$2,206,175. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $2,206,175 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

IV. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 112,729 hours 

(from 151,962 hours to 39,233 hours) in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects a decrease in the 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 10, 2011 / Notices 49473 

estimated number of items to be 

received from respondents, based on the 

Agency’s recent experience. This change 

is an adjustment. 

V. 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. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
