SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The MSTRS is a federal 

advisory committee chartered under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), Public Law 92–463. The 

MSTRS provides the Clean Air Act 

Advisory Committee (CAAAC) with 

independent advice, counsel and 

recommendations on the scientific and 

technical aspects of programs related to 

mobile source air pollution and its 

control. 

Through its expert members from 

diverse stakeholder groups and from its 

various workgroups, the subcommittee 

reviews and addresses a wide range of 

developments, issues and research areas 

such as emissions modeling, emission 

standards and standard setting, air 

toxics, innovative and incentive-based 

transportation policies, onboard 

diagnostics, heavy-duty engines, diesel 

retrofit, fuel quality and greenhouse 

gases. The Subcommittee’s Web site is 

at: http://www.epa.gov/caaac/mobilesources-technical-review-subcommitteemstrs-caaac. 

Members are appointed by the EPA 

Administrator for three year terms with 

the possibility of reappointment to a 

second term. The MSTRS usually meets 

two times annually and the average 

workload for the members is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

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

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), 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 information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Title: TSCA Section 4 Test Rules, 

Consent Orders, Enforceable Consent 

Agreements, Voluntary Testing 

Agreements, Voluntary Data 

Submissions, and Exemptions from 

Testing Requirements. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1139.11. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0033. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 31, 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. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (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 for certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: Section 4 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) is 

designed to assure that chemicals that 

may pose serious risks to human health 

or the environment undergo testing by 

manufacturers or processors, and that 

the results of such testing are made 

available to EPA. EPA uses the 

information collected under the 

authority of TSCA section 4 to assess 

risks associated with the manufacture, 

processing, distribution, use or disposal 

of a chemical, and to support any 

necessary regulatory action with respect 

to that chemical. 

EPA must assure that appropriate 

tests are performed on a chemical if it 

decides: (1) That a chemical being 

considered under TSCA section 4(a) 

may pose an ‘‘unreasonable risk’’ or is 

produced in ‘‘substantial’’ quantities 

that may result in substantial or 

significant human exposure or 

substantial environmental release of the 

chemical; (2) that additional data are 

needed to determine or predict the 

impacts of the chemical’s manufacture, 

processing, distribution, use or disposal; 

and (3) that testing is needed to develop 

such data. Rules and consent orders 

under TSCA section 4 require that one 

manufacturer or processor of a subject 

chemical perform the specified testing 

and report the results of that testing to 

EPA. TSCA section 4 also allows a 

manufacturer or processor of a subject 

chemical to apply for an exemption 

from the testing requirement if that 

testing will be or has been performed by 

another party. This information 

collection applies to reporting and 

recordkeeping activities associated with 

the information that EPA requires 

industry to provide in response to TSCA 

section 4 test rules, consent orders, test 

rule exemptions and other data 

submissions.
