SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Review Requested: This is a request to

collection pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0574.11;

OMB Control No. 2070–00012.

Title: Pre-Manufacture Review

Reporting and Exemption Requirements

for New Chemical Substances and

Significant New Use Reporting

Requirements for New Chemical

Substances.

Abstract: Section 5 of the Toxic

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires

manufacturers and importers of new

chemical substances to submit to EPA

notice of intent to manufacture or

import a new chemical substance 90

days before manufacture or import

begins. EPA reviews the information

contained in the notice to evaluate the

health and environmental effects of the

new chemical substance. On the basis of

the review, EPA may take further

regulatory action under TSCA, if

warranted. If EPA takes no action within

90 days, the submitter is free to

manufacture or import the new

chemical substance without restriction.

TSCA section 5 also authorizes EPA

to issue Significant New Use Rules

(SNURs). EPA uses this authority to take

follow-up action on new or existing

chemicals that may present an

unreasonable risk to human health or

the environment if used in a manner

that may result in different and/or

higher exposures of a chemical to

humans or the environment. Once a use

is determined to be a significant new

use, persons must submit a notice to

EPA 90 days before beginning

manufacture, processing or importation

of a chemical substance for that use.

Such a notice allows EPA to receive and

review information on such a use and,

if necessary, regulate the use before it

occurs.

Finally, TSCA section 5 also permits

applications for exemption from section

5 review under certain circumstances.

An applicant must provide information

sufficient for EPA to make a

determination that the circumstances in

question qualify for an exemption. In

granting an exemption, EPA may

impose appropriate restrictions.

Responses to the collection of

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR

parts 700, 720, 721, 723 and 725).

Respondents may claim all or part of a

document 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 burden for this collection of

information is estimated to average

105.5 hours per response for an

estimated 443 respondents making one

or more submissions of information

annually. These estimates include 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; 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. No person is

required to respond to a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid OMB control number.

The OMB control numbers for these

regulations are displayed in 40 CFR part

9.

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Entities potentially affected by this

action are companies that manufacture

or import new chemical substances, as

defined by TSCA, or manufacture,

process or import a chemical substance

for a use that has been determined to be

a significant new use, as defined by

TSCA.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

443.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 184,608 hours.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Dated: May 16, 2000.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

initial performance tests and provide

semiannual reports of excess emissions.

Owners/operators of wool fiberglass

manufacturing facilities subject to NSPS

Subpart PPP and/or NESHAP–MACT,

Subpart NNN must also record

continuous measurements of control

device operating parameters.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to
