ICR status: This is a new ICR. that 

seeks to consolidate the information 

collection activities that are currently 

covered by the following three ICRs that 

are currently approved by OMB under 

the separate OMB control numbers 

identified: 

1. OMB Control No. 2070–0155; EPA 

ICR No. 1715.14; entitled ‘‘TSCA 

Sections 402 and Section 404 Training, 

Certification, Accreditation and 

Standards for Lead-Based Paint 

Activities and Renovation, Repair, and 

Painting’’; approved through August 31, 

2018. 

2. OMB Control No. 2070–0158; EPA 

ICR No. 1669.07; entitled ‘‘Lead-Based 

Paint Pre-Renovation Information 

Dissemination—TSCA Sec. 406(b)’’; 

approved through August 31, 2018. 

3. OMB Control No. 2070–0181; EPA 

ICR No. 2381.03; entitled ‘‘ICR for the 

Final Rule entitled ‘‘Lead; Clearance 

and Clearance Testing Requirements for 

the Renovation, Repair, and Painting 

Program’’; approved through August 31, 

2018. 

Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 are 

displayed either by publication in the 

Federal Register or by other appropriate 

means, such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers for 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This consolidated ICR will 

cover the information collection 

activities imposed on entities 

conducting lead-based paint related 

activities currently approved in the ICRs 

listed above. Following approval of this 

ICR, the previous ICRs will be 

discontinued. 

Respondents/Affected entities: Private 

entities and state, territorial or Native 

American agencies who are engaged in 

or who administer lead-based paint 

activities or programs. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 745). 

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. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 791,805. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total burden: 5,746,565 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Estimated total costs: $283,187,555 

(per year), includes no annualized 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

overall decrease of 282,737 hours in the 

total estimated combined respondent 

burden that is currently approved by 

OMB in the three ICRs consolidated in 

this request. This decrease reflects 

changes in EPA’s estimates of the 

number of respondents and burdenrelated activities based on economic 

conditions in the housing market and 

related industries. Further, the fact that 

the 2008 Renovation, Repair and 

Painting (RRP) rule and the 2010 OptOut rule have been in place for several 

years allows this ICR to use estimates 

based on actual certification data 

instead of making broader assumptions 

about industry behavior. Further details 

about these changes are included in the 

supporting statement for this ICR. This 

change is an adjustment. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies 

Division.
