From: Amuel Kenned y/ DC/USEPA/US To: [Addressees] Subject: Request for Comments on Information Collection Request Renewal for Notification of Substantial Risk of Injury to Health and the Environment under TSCA Section 8(e); EPA ICR No. 0794.12, OMB Control No. 2070 - 0046 On February

13, 2009, EPA published a Notice in the Federal Register (74 FR 7227) for Notification of Substantial Risk of Injury to Health and the Environment under TSCA Section 8(e) Request for Comment on Renewal of Information Collection Activities.; EPA I CR No. 0794.12, OMB Control No. 2070 - 0046.” (http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA - TOX/2009/February /Day - 13/t3054.htm) This Not ice refers to EPA's intention to request renewed Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance of an information collection related to reporting and recordkeeping requirements for TSCA Section 8(e) submissions. In addition to public notice and comment r equirement that the above Notice initiates, OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1)) require agencies to consult with potential respondents and data users about specific aspects of an information collection request (I CR) before submitting it to OMB for revie w and approval, regardless, in the case of ICR renewals, of whether changes have or have not been made to the collection activity . As part of this required consultation, Iam contacting you to solicit your input. I will also note that, if y ou take this o pportunity to provide input, y our name, affiliation, e - mail address, phone number and an y information y ou provide (e.g., copies of e - mails) will be incorporated and attached to the ICR supporting statement, which will be a public document. In addition, th e OMB Desk Examiner for the I CR in question may contact y ou to verify the accuracy

of any comments EPA identifies in the I CR. EPA solicits your input on the following questions: Are the data EPA seeks under this I CR available from any public source, or a lread y collected b y another EPA office or b y another agency ? I f so, where can the data be found? Is it clear what is required for data submission? I f not, are there an y suggestions for clarifying instructions? Would you be interested in an electronic /data submission option? What ty pe of alternative would y ou be most likel y to utilize

– web form, diskette, CD - ROM?For electronic submission, how should signature requirements be handled

–

Private Key

I nfrastructure, PINS and passwords, signed pape r cover sheet? How does TSCA CBI affect your choice or use of an electronic medium? Would you be more inclined to submit TSCA CBI on diskette than on paper and what benefits would y ou realize (e.g., burden reduction, greater efficiency in compiling info rmation, etc). Do y ou agree with EPA's estimated burden and costs (the I CR addresses only the costs associated with paperwork)? Are the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) labor rates accurate? I f you have an y reason to consider the BL S labor rates as use d by EPA inaccurate or inappropriate, explain y our rationale. You can access the Federal Register Notice, the IC R supporting document, and an y public comments received to date at: http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main
