Title: TSCA Sec. 8(a) Preliminary 

Assessment Information Rule (PAIR). 

ICR Status: This is a request to renew 

an existing approved collection. This 

ICR is scheduled to expire on January 

31, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. 

Abstract: Section 8(a) of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

authorizes EPA to promulgate rules 

under which manufacturers, importers 

and processors of chemical substances 

and mixtures must maintain records and 

submit reports to EPA. EPA has 

promulgated the Preliminary 

Assessment Information Rule (PAIR) 

under TSCA section 8(a). EPA uses 

PAIR to collect information to identify, 

assess and manage human health and 

environmental risks from chemical 

substances, mixtures and categories. 

PAIR requires chemical manufacturers 

and importers to complete a 

standardized reporting form to help 

evaluate the potential for adverse 

human health and environmental effects 

caused by the manufacture or 

importation of identified chemical 

substances, mixtures or categories. 

Chemicals identified by EPA or any 

other federal agency, for which a 

justifiable information need for 

production, use or exposure-related data 

can be satisfied by the use of the PAIR 

are proper subjects for TSCA section 

8(a) PAIR rulemaking. In most instances 

the information that EPA receives from 

a PAIR report is sufficient to satisfy the 

information need in question. This 

information collection addresses the 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements associated with TSCA 

section 8(a). 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

parts 712, 766, and 792). Respondents 

may claim all or part of a notice as CBI. 

EPA will disclose information that is 

covered by a CBI claim only to the 

extent permitted by, and in accordance 

with, the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. 

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 CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average about 28.7 hours 

per response. Burden is defined in 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are manufacturers, processors or 

importers of chemical substances, 

mixtures or categories. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 2.2. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 15. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 948 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$59,158. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: This 

request reflects a decrease of 620 hours 

(from 1,568 hours to 948 hours) in the 

total estimated respondent burden from 

that currently in the OMB inventory. 

This decrease reflects a decrease in the 

assumed number of PAIR reports filed 

annually, and the average annual 

number of respondents, based on the 

past five fiscal years of PAIR reporting 

data. The Supporting Statement 

provides details about the change in 

burden estimate. The change is an 

adjustment.
