SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), 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. 

5. EPA is specifically requesting 

comments on the duration of the time 

allotted for the Reproduction and 

Fertility Effects test (OCSPP Guideline 

870.3800). The Agency is considering a 

range from 24 to 48 months, but for the 

purpose of the ICR calculations, it is 

assumed that all work will be completed 

within the 3-year duration of the ICR. 

II. What Information Collection 

Activity or ICR does this action apply 

to? 

Title: Tier 2 Data Collection for 

Certain Chemicals Under the Endocrine 

Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP). 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2479.01. 

OMB control number: 2070–New. 

ICR status: This ICR covers new 

information collection activities 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

37804 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 121 / Monday, June 24, 2013 / Notices 

associated with the next phase of an 

existing program. 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: This ICR covers the 

information collection activities 

associated with Tier 2 data collection 

activities for certain chemicals under 

EPA’s EDSP. 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 may have hormonal 

effects. The EDSP consists of a twotiered 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 hormone 

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 through the 

Agency’s Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/endo. 

This ICR addresses the information 

collection activities for those chemicals 

that were screened under Tier 1 of the 

EDSP and are now proceeding to testing 

under Tier 2 of the EDSP. The ICR 

covers the full range of information 

collection activities associated with Tier 

2 of the EDSP, including the paperwork 

activities associated with the issuance of 

Tier 2 orders, initial responses from 

order recipients, paperwork activities 

associated with generating the data 

requested, and submitting the data to 

EPA pursuant to the order. Under the 

PRA, the ICR is intended to cover a 3- 

year period. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to range between 204 and 

9,750 hours, depending on the 

respondent category, with an estimated 

burden cost between $18,842 and 

$602,488. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by the 

collection activities in this ICR are those 

individuals and companies that receive 

an EDSP Tier 2 order issued by the 

Agency. 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.’’ 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 210. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

110,750 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$7,375,603. This primarily represents 

estimated burden cost, with related 

administrative costs of $104. Given the 

nature of the activities, there are no 

costs estimated for capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

III. 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 document 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 person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
