AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Recordkeeping for Institutional Dual 

Use Research of Concern (iDURC) Policy 

Compliance’’ (EPA ICR No. 2530.02, 

OMB Control No. 2080–0082) to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.). Before doing so, EPA is soliciting 

public comments on specific aspects of 

the proposed information collection as 

described below. This is a proposed 

extension of the ICR, which is currently 

approved through September 30, 2016. 

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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before July 25, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

ORD–2016–0010, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to ord.docket@

epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington,

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other

detail the information that the EPA will

docket for this ICR. The docket can be

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

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

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; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) 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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: To comply with the U.S. 

Government Policy for Institutional 

Oversight of Life Sciences Dual Use 

Research of Concern (DURC Policy) 

(www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Pages/

default.aspx), EPA must ensure that the 

institutions that are subject to the DURC 

Policy appropriately train their 

laboratory personnel and maintain 

records of their training. This training is 

specific to ‘‘dual use research of 

concern,’’ and should include 

information on how to properly identify 

DURC and appropriate methods for 

ensuring research that is determined to 

be DURC is conducted and 

communicated responsibly. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

sector and the federal-owned/

contractor-operated labs. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (per EPA Order 1000.19: 

Policy and Procedures for Managing 

Dual Use Research of Concern). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

Eighteen (total). 

Frequency of response: Only once 

and/or as necessary. 

Total estimated burden: 72 hours (per 

year) over three years. Burden is defined 

at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $4320 (per year 

over three years), includes $0 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

increase nor decrease of hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. The burden is 

expected to stay the same due to the 

same number of estimated respondents 

and research projects.
