Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 115 / Friday, June 14, 2013 / Notices 35903 

and consultation with the FTC staff, it 

is ordered that: 

(1) The petitions for waiver submitted 

by the Samsung Electronics America, 

Inc. (Case No. RF–025) are hereby 

granted as set forth in the paragraphs in 

this section. 

(2) Samsung shall be required to test 

and rate the following Samsung models 

according to the alternate test procedure 

set forth in paragraph (3) of this section.

Addendum for the Second List of 

Chemicals; Tier 1 Screening of Certain 

Chemicals Under the Endocrine 

Disruptor Screening Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has submitted the 

following Information Collection 

Request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.): ‘‘ICR Addendum for the 

Second List of Chemicals; Tier 1 

Screening of Certain Chemicals Under 

the Endocrine Disruptor Screening 

Program (EDSP)’’ (EPA ICR No. 2488.01, 

OMB Control No. 2070—[new]). This is 

a new ICR that will amend an ICR that 

is currently approved under OMB 

Control No. 2070–0176 (EPA ICR No. 

2249) and that covers the first list of 

chemicals. The ICR, which is abstracted 

below, describes the nature of the 

information collection activity and its

EPA received several comments in 

response to its solicitation of comments 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d) in the 

Federal Register issue of November 17, 

2010 (75 FR 70569). The ICR submitted 

to OMB includes EPA’s responses, and 

reflects revisions made in response to 

those comments. Please note that when 

comments were sought in 2010, the 

draft ICR was identified under EPA ICR 

No. 2249.02 and OMB Control No. 

2070–0176, and comments were 

directed to Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2007–1081, which had been 

established for the initial ICR related to 

List 1 chemicals. Given the resulting 

confusion in finding documents in that 

docket, EPA has established a new 

docket, which is linked to the old 

docket. 

ICR Status: This is an addendum to an 

existing ICR that is currently approved 

under OMB Control No. 2070–0176 

(EPA ICR No. 2249), covering the first 

list of chemicals screened under the 

EDSP. Under OMB regulations, the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor an approved collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. In this case, this 

applies to the activities associated with 

the chemicals on List 1, but not those 

associated with the chemicals on List 2. 

Under the PRA, 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. 

Abstract: This ICR covers the 

information collection activities 

associated with Tier 1 screening of the 

List 2 Chemicals under EPA’s EDSP. 

List 2 consists of 109 identified 

chemicals, 41 of which are pesticide 

active ingredients (PAIs) and 68 are 

chemicals identified under the Safe 

Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The EDSP 

is established under section 408(p) of 

the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic 

Act (FFDCA) (21 U.S.C. 346a(p)), which 

requires EPA to develop a chemical 

screening program using appropriate 

validated test systems and other 

scientifically relevant information to 

determine whether certain substances 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

35904 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 115 / Friday, June 14, 2013 / Notices 

may have hormonal effects. The EDSP 

consists of a two-tiered approach to 

screen chemicals for potential endocrine 

disrupting effects. The purpose of Tier 

1 screening is to identify substances that 

have the potential to interact with the 

estrogen, androgen, or thyroid hormone 

systems using a battery of assays. 

Substances that have the potential to 

interact with estrogen, androgen or 

thyroid systems may proceed to Tier 2, 

which is designed to identify any 

adverse endocrine-related effects caused 

by the substance, and establish a 

quantitative relationship between the 

dose and that endocrine effect. 

Additional information about the EDSP 

is available at http://www.epa.gov/endo. 

This ICR addendum covers the 

information collection activities and 

burden associated with issuing orders, 

generating and collecting data for List 2 

Chemicals. The information collection 

activities otherwise remain the same as 

those described in the existing ICR that 

covers EDSP Tier 1 screening of List 1 

Chemicals, with a few modifications 

that are necessary to address procedural 

differences that apply to SDWA 

chemicals. The Agency is also 

establishing an electronic mechanism 

for these activities to reduce burden and 

increase efficiencies. 

Form Numbers: EPA form numbers 

6300–05; 6300–05–C; 6300–06; and 

6300–06–C. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are those who receive an EDSP test 

order issued by the Agency because they 

are a registrant or manufacturer/ 

importer of a chemical substance 

identified on List 2. Under FFDCA 

section 408(p)(5)(A), EPA ‘‘shall issue’’ 

EDSP test orders ‘‘to a registrant of a 

substance for which testing is required 

. . . or to a person who manufactures or 

imports a substance for which testing is 

required.’’ 

Respondent’s Obligation to Respond: 

Mandatory under FFDCA section 

408(p). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,000. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Burden: The per response 

burden is estimated to range between 

204 and 4,729 hours, depending on the 

respondent category and activities. The 

total annualized burden is estimated to 

be 296,820 hours. Burden is defined at 

5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Estimated Cost: The per response cost 

is estimated to range between $18,842 

and $297,171, depending on the 

respondent category and activities. The 

total annualized cost is estimated to be 

$21,054,546. This includes $400 for 

non-labor costs related to mailing the 

submissions. Delivery of paper 

submissions will be eliminated with the 

full implementation of the electronic 

system. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: This 

represents an increase of 296,820 hours 

in the total estimated annualized burden 

compared with that currently approved 

by OMB. This is a program change that 

reflects the planned issuance of Tier 1 

orders for List 2 chemicals to be 

screened under Tier 1 of the EDSP.

Status Information 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA) requires any person who 

intends to manufacture (defined by 

statute to include import) a new 

chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the 

TSCA Chemical Substances Inventory 

(TSCA Inventory)) to notify EPA and 

comply with the statutory provisions 

pertaining to the manufacture of new 

chemicals. In addition under TSCA, 

EPA is required to publish in the 

Federal Register a notice of receipt of a 

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish in the 

Federal Register periodic status reports 

on the new chemicals under review and 

the receipt of notices of commencement 

(NOC) to manufacture those chemicals. 

This document, which covers the period 

from March 11, 2013 to April 19, 2013,
