SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What Information is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

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

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

1. 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. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. 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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. What Should I Consider when I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns. 

6. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

7. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

III. What Information Collection 

Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply 

to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are persons 

engaged in selling, purchasing, or 

leasing certain residential dwellings 

built before 1978 or who are real estate 

agents representing such parties. 

Title: Residential Lead-Based Paint 

Hazard Disclosure Requirements. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1710.05, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0151. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

2007. 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 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
11356 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 48 / Tuesday, March 13, 2007 / Notices 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, 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 in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Section 1018 of the 

Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard 

Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4852d) 

requires that sellers and lessors of most 

residential housing built before 1978 

disclose known information on the 

presence of lead-based paint and leadbased paint hazards, and provide an 

EPA-approved pamphlet to purchasers 

and renters before selling or leasing the 

housing. Sellers of pre-1978 housing are 

also required to provide prospective 

purchasers with 10 days to conduct an 

inspection or risk assessment for leadbased paint hazards before obligating 

purchasers under contracts to purchase 

the property. The rule does not apply to 

rental housing that has been found to be 

free of lead-based paint, zero-bedroom 

dwellings, housing for the elderly, 

housing for the handicapped, or shortterm leases. The affected parties and the 

information collection-related 

requirements related to each are 

described below: 

1. Sellers of pre-1978 residential 

housing. Sellers of pre-1978 housing 

must attach certain notification and 

disclosure language to their sales/ 

leasing contracts. The attachment lists 

the information disclosed and 

acknowledges compliance by the seller, 

purchaser, and any agents involved in 

the transaction. 

2. Lessors of pre-1978 residential 

housing. Lessors of pre-1978 housing 

must attach notification and disclosure 

language to their leasing contracts. The 

attachment, which lists the information 

disclosed and acknowledges compliance 

with all elements of the rule, must be 

signed by the lessor, lessee, and any 

agents acting on their behalf. Agents and 

lessees must retain the information for 

3 years from the completion of the 

transaction. 

3. Agents acting on behalf of sellers or 

lessors. Section 1018 of the Residential 

Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act 

of 1992 specifically directs EPA and the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD) to require agents 

acting on behalf of sellers or lessors to 

ensure compliance with the disclosure 

regulations. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 745, Subpart F, and 24 CFR part 35, 

Subpart H). Respondents may claim all 

or part of a notice 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. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.18 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal Agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 42,021,000. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

7,744,616 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$136,475,304. This includes an 

estimated burden cost of $136,475,304 

and an estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates 

from the Last Approval? 

There is a decrease of 1,110,994 hours 

(from 8,855,610 hours to 7,744,616 

hours) in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that currently in 

the OMB inventory. This decrease 

reflects the gradually declining share of 

target housing in the nation’s housing 

stock. The decrease is an adjustment. 

V. What is the Next Step in the Process 

for this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.
