Title: TSCA Section 5(a)(2) Significant 

New Use Rules for Existing Chemicals. 

ICR Status: This is a request to renew 

an existing approved collection. This 

ICR is scheduled to expire on November 

30, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. 

Abstract: Section 5 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) provides 

EPA with a regulatory mechanism to 

monitor and, if necessary, control 

significant new uses of chemical 

substances. Section 5 authorizes EPA to 

determine by rule (i.e., a significant new 

use rule or SNUR), after considering all 

relevant factors, that a use of a chemical 

substance represents a significant new 

use. If EPA determines that a use of a 

chemical substance is a significant new 

use, section 5 requires persons to submit 

a significant new use notice (SNUN) to 

EPA at least 90 days before they 

manufacture, import, or process the 

substance for that use. 

EPA uses the information obtained 

through this collection to evaluate the 

health and environmental effects of the 

significant new use. EPA may take 

regulatory actions under TSCA section 

5, 6 or 7 to control the activities for 

which it has received a SNUR notice. 

These actions include orders to limit or 

prohibit the manufacture, importation, 

processing, distribution in commerce, 

use or disposal of chemical substances. 

If EPA does not take action, section 5 

also requires EPA to publish a Federal 

Register notice explaining the reasons 

for not taking action. This information 

collection addresses the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements inherent in 

TSCA section 5 significant new use 

rules. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 721). Respondents may claim all or 

part of a notice as CBI. EPA will 

disclose information that is covered by 

a CBI claim only to the extent permitted 

by, and in accordance with, the 

procedures in 40 CFR part 2. 

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 CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average about 8.1 hours per 

response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are companies that manufacture, 

process, import, or distribute in 

commerce chemical substances or 

mixtures. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

53. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 736 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$63,799. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: There 

is a decrease of 440 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This change reflects 

updates to the number of affected sites 

and responses and the correction of 

estimates in the previous ICR. More 

details on the changes are outlined in 

the Supporting Statement. The change is 

an adjustment.

Title: NESHAP for Metal Furniture 

Surface Coating (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1952.05, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0518. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on October 31, 2012. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

either conduct or sponsor the collection 

of information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, 

and any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart RRRR. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must submit a one-time-only 

report of any physical or operational 

changes, initial performance tests, and 

periodic reports and results. Owners or 

operators are also required to maintain 

records of the occurrence and duration 

of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. Reports are also required 

semiannually. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 109 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Metal 

furniture surface coating facilities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

583. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

190,408. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$22,472,732, which includes 

$21,773,132 in labor costs, no capital/ 

startup costs, and $699,600 in operation 

and maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years; (2) 

the growth rate for the industry is very 

low, negative or non-existent, so there is 

no significant change in the overall 

burden. However, there is an increase in 

the cost-per-hour labor costs due to the 

updated labor rates. This ICR uses the 

most recently available labor rates in all 

burden calculations.
