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

change in burden estimate. The change 

is an adjustment.

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
