Title: TSCA Section 4 Test Rules, Consent Orders, Enforceable Consent Agreements, Voluntary Testing Agreements, Voluntary Data Submissions, and Exemptions from Testing Requirement.

ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved collection. This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at

OMB.

Abstract: This ICR covers the
submission of test data to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support the decision making process
for an industrial chemical under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601). Under TSCA, EPA has the authority to issue regulations designed to gather health/safety and exposure information on, require testing of, and control exposure to chemical substances and mixtures. Drugs, cosmetics, foods, food additives, pesticides, and nuclear materials are exempt from TSCA.

Under TSCA section 4, 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.

In general, when the need for data is identified by EPA, EPA may obtain the needed test data (1) By issuing a test rule through notice and comment rulemaking, (2) through negotiation with industry and issuing an enforceable consent agreement (ECA), or (3) through commitments from industry, i.e., voluntary testing agreements (VTAs). Industry may also submit test
data to EPA on their own initiative.

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.

The testing specified in a rule or
consent order issued under TSCA section 4 only needs to be conducted once for each specified chemical. As such, only one of the entities that manufacture, import or process the specified chemical, or a consortia formed by these entities, is expected to conduct the specified testing and report the results of that testing to EPA. In addition, an entity subject to a test rule may 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 or voluntary agreements, and other data submissions, as well as those related to the exemption applications. As such, responses to the
collection of information are either mandatory if codified (see 40 CFR part 790), and voluntary when not.

Respondents may claim all or part of a response 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 range between 9 and 263 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are manufacturers, processors, importers, users, distributors or disposers of one or more specified
chemical substances.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Estimated Average Number of Responses for Each Respondent: Varies by activity, but is estimated to range from 1 to 131 per respondent.

Estimated Total No. of Respondents: Varies by activity, but is estimated to range from 1 to 18.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 629,893 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Costs: $13,289,461, with an additional $9,628,441 for non-labor costs related to laboratory test costs.

Changes in Burden Estimates: This request represents an increase of 477,931 hours from that currently in the OMB inventory (from 151,962 hours to 629,893 hours). This increase reflects several adjustments in the estimates
related to a better break-out of the
different activities for the covered collection and an adjustment in projected potential future activities regarding voluntary submissions. The Agency has also adjusted all unit costs to reflect the latest available labor wage
rates and has identified the non-labor costs more clearly. The Supporting Statement provides details about the


### 24700 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 25, 2012 / Notices

change in burden estimate. The change is an adjustment.

Title: NESHAP for Steel Pickling, HCl Process Facilities and Hydrochloric Acid Regeneration Plants (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1821.07, OMB Control Number 2060–

0419.

ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on May 31, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 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: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCC. The rule applies to all facilities that pickle steel using hydrochloric acid or regenerate hydrochloric acid, and are major sources or are part of a facility that is a major source.

Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain
records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.

All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCC, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been determined to be private.

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 Number for the EPA regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 168 hours per response. ‘‘Burden’’ means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose and 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. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that have
