51582 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 7, 2009 / Notices 

Responses to the collection of 

information are voluntary. Respondents 

may claim all or part of a notice 

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 0.5 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: 2,123. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.0. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

1,062 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $52,779. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $52,779 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 8,074 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 

estimated number of affected 

submissions, based on EPA’s recent 

experience with those submissions. 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

INFORMATION CONTACT.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 5 of 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 Inventory) to notify EPA and 

comply with the statutory provisions 

pertaining to the manufacture of new 

chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 

5(d)(3) of TSCA, EPA is required to 

publish a notice of receipt of a 

premanufacture notice (PMN) or an 

application for a test marketing 

exemption (TME), and to publish 

periodic status reports on the chemicals 

under review and the receipt of notices 

of commencement to manufacture those 

chemicals. This status report, which 

covers the period from August 17, 2009 

through September 4, 2009, consists of 

the PMNs pending or expired, and the 

notices of commencement to 

manufacture a new chemical that the 

Agency has received under TSCA 

section 5 during this time period.

specific PMN number or TME number, 

must be received on or before November 

6, 2009.
