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 information collection 

are companies under contract to the 

Environmental Protection Agency to 

provide certain services, whose 

employees must have access to Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

confidential business information to 

perform their duties. 

Title: Request for Contractor Access to 

TSCA CBI. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1250.09, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0075. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

2010. 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: Certain employees of 

companies working under contract to 

EPA require access to TSCA 

confidential business information 

collected under the authority of TSCA 

in order to perform their official duties. 

The Office of Pollution Prevention and 

Toxics (OPPT), which is responsible for 

maintaining the security of TSCA 

confidential business information, 

requires that all individuals desiring 

access to TSCA CBI obtain and annually 

renew official clearance to TSCA CBI. 

As part of the process for obtaining 

TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires 

certain information about the 

contracting company and about each 

contractor employee requesting TSCA 

CBI clearance, primarily the name, 

Social Security Number and EPA 

identification badge number of the 

employee, the type of TSCA CBI 

clearance requested and the justification 

for such clearance, and the signature of 

the employee to an agreement with 

respect to access to and use of TSCA 

CBI. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.6 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: 30. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 12.5. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

601 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $30,253. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $30,253 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 an increase of 155 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

increase reflects EPA’s estimate of the 

number of contractor employees 

affected by this information 

collection.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 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why Were These Documents Prepared? 

Executive Order 13508, Chesapeake 

Bay Protection and Restoration, dated 

May 12, 2009 (74 FR 23099, May 15, 

2009), requires the Administrator of 

EPA within 1 year and after consulting 

with the Committee and providing for 

public review and comment to publish 

this guidance document by May 12, 

2010. The purpose of this document is 

to provide information and data on land 

management practices that, if 

implemented widely across the 

Chesapeake Bay watershed by both 

Federal land managers and non-Federal 

entities (and assuming that all necessary 

point source reductions are achieved 

and other needed restoration actions are 

taken), will enable the Chesapeake Bay 

to be restored. In significant part, this 

guidance is being developed to offer 

solutions for implementation to meet 

specific Chesapeake Bay goals. EPA, in 

conjunction with other agencies, is 

currently developing Bay-wide 

pollutant reduction goals that will 

ultimately be used to establish total 

maximum daily loads (TMDL) under 

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act 

for the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The 

TMDL will be followed by the 

development of watershed 

implementation plans in 92 Bay subwatersheds that will have had load and 

wasteload allocations assigned based on 

the TMDL and the Chesapeake Bay 

model. While the Section 502 guidance 

document is required to be published by 

May 12, 2010, before the TMDL is 

finalized, we expect that the TMDL and 

sub-watershed allocations will clarify 

that the great majority of nonpoint 

sources in the Chesapeake Bay 

watershed will need to be controlled, 

and be controlled well, in order to 

restore the Bay. This guidance will have 

chapters addressing the following 

categories of activity: Agriculture; Urban 

areas, including Turf (excluding sources 

regulated as point sources); Onsite/ 

Decentralized Treatment Systems; 

Forestry; Riparian Areas; and 

Hydromodification. Each chapter will 

contain one or more ‘‘implementation 

goals’’ that provide the framework for 

the chapter. These are intended to 

convey the essential actions that will 

need to be implemented in order to 

assure that the broad goals of the 

Chesapeake Bay Executive Order can be 

achieved. Each chapter also includes 

information on practices that can be 

used to achieve the goals; information 

on the effectiveness and costs of the 

practices; where relevant, cost savings 

or other economic/societal benefits (in 

addition to the pollutant reduction 

benefits) that derive from the 

implementation goals and/or practices; 

and copious references to other 

documents that provide additional 

information. Due to the expedited 

timeframe set by the Executive Order, 

the document is undergoing concurrent 

Federal Leadership Committee and 

public review, both as required by the 

Executive Order. Note that this public 

review is also concurrent with a 

technical peer review. EPA anticipates 

reviewing comments by these three 

entities in advance of the development 

of the final document.
