simulates an actual product evaluation. 

(See the Safer Choice Standard at 

http://www2.epa.gov/saferchoice/saferchoice-standard.) 

3. Following the Procedures in the 

Safer Choice TPP Handbook. Use the 

Third-Party Profiler Handbook/

Guidance Manual to inform its profiling 

activities, including, for example, 

searching the approved set of data 

sources; digesting the key, 

distinguishing hazard data; and 

preparing a dossier on each chemical 

ingredient in a candidate product. 

Beyond regular oversight, the TPP 

will conduct annual partner 

surveillance, including triennial on-site 

audits, to ensure compliance with 

program requirements. (See the ThirdParty Profiler Handbook; contact Tony 

Thompson at thompson.tony@epa.gov 

or (202) 564–2296 for details.) 

4. Submitting to Performance Review. 

In addition to regular feedback and 

recommendations from Safer Choice 

staff, engage in annual performance 

reviews, and once every 5 years, a full 

performance evaluation, which will 

culminate in a Safer Choice decision on 

whether the TPP retains its status as a 

qualified TPP. 

5. Adopting and Using the Safer 

Choice Data System. Use the Safer 

Choice data system (known as the Safer 

Choice Community) to manage all Safer 

Choice product review and partnership 

activities, including purchase and 

maintenance of the necessary computer 

hardware and system licenses. (For 

more information, see the TPP 

Handbook.) 

6. Performing Supplemental Duties. 

Fulfill other requests and functions 

related to its TPP duties that may arise 

from time to time, as needed. 

7. Adhering to Good Business 

Practices. Demonstrate and follow good 

business practices in dealing with 

companies working with Safer Choice. 

Good business practices include: 

Offering open access to your services to 

legitimate potential clients; adopting 

and implementing customer service 

standards; and avoiding potential 

conflicts of interest. 

8. Signing a Memorandum of 

Understanding. Qualified applicants 

will be asked to sign a MOU, 

formalizing their commitment to serve 

as a TPP and support the Safer Choice 

Program’s human and environmental 

health protection mission. (See the 

boilerplate MOU in the docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015–0841.) 

II. Instructions for Applicants 

A. How to Submit an Application 

Applicants for Safer Choice Third 

Party Profiler must complete an 

application form, available in the docket 

ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2015–0841. 

To be considered in the 2016 selection 

cycle, completed applications must be 

submitted to Safer Choice via one of the 

means listed under ADDRESSES and by 

the deadline listed under DATES

indicated in this notice. 

B. Requirements for Submitting 

Business Proprietary Information 

Clearly mark the part or all of the 

information that you claim to be 

business proprietary. In addition to one 

complete version of the application that 

includes information claimed as 

proprietary, a copy of the application 

that does not contain the proprietary 

information must be submitted. 

Information marked as business 

proprietary will not be disclosed except 

in accordance with the procedures set 

forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

III. Selection of Safer Choice ThirdParty Profilers 

Safer Choice will review and evaluate 

all applications based on the TPP 

qualifications enumerated in this notice. 

From the applications submitted for the 

2016 TPP cycle, the program will select 

up to two best-qualified candidates to 

participate in trial product reviews. 

After successful completion of these 

reviews—during which the program 

will assist the candidate in orienting to 

the process and gaining competency— 

the candidate will be a qualified Safer 

Choice TPP. The new TPP will be asked 

to sign the Safer Choice-TPP 

memorandum of understanding and, 

following signature, may accept clients 

and begin its service to the program. 

The quality and integrity of the Safer 

Choice label rests on active program 

engagement with and oversight of our 

profilers. Safer Choice plans to add up 

to two new TPPs this year, doubling its 

pool of profilers, based on the program’s 

ability to assimilate, train, and oversee 

the new TPPs while maintaining its 

other program functions. Safer Choice 

will continually evaluate its ability to 

bring on additional TPPs. 

All qualified TPPs will be listed in 

and accessible via the Safer Choice 

Community, the data system product 

manufacturers use to apply for the Safer 

Choice label.

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 

any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart Ec. Owners or operators of the 

affected facilities must make an initial 

notification, performance tests, periodic 

reports, and 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. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Hospital/medical/infectious waste 

incinerators. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec). 

Estimated number of respondents: 8 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, semiannually and 

annually. 

Total estimated burden: 5,670 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $972,000 (per 

year), includes $402,000 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

overall increase in burden in this ICR 

from the most recently approved ICR. 

This is due to an increase in the 

estimated number of sources subject to 

the regulation, and is not caused by
