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: Recordkeeping and Reporting 

Requirements for Allegations of 

Significant Adverse Reactions to Human 

Health or the Environment. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1031.11. 

OMB control number: OMB Control 

No. 2070–0017. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on September 30, 

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: TSCA section 8(c) requires 

companies that manufacture, process, or 

distribute chemicals to maintain records 

of significant adverse reactions to health 

or the environment alleged to have been 

caused by such chemicals. Since section 

8(c) includes no automatic reporting 

provision, EPA can obtain and use the 

information contained in company files 

only by inspecting those files or 

requiring reporting of records that relate 

to specific substances of concern. 

Therefore, under certain conditions, and 

using the provisions found in 40 CFR 

part 717, EPA may require companies to 

report such allegations to the Agency. 

EPA uses such information on a casespecific basis to corroborate suspected 

adverse health or environmental effects 

of chemicals already under review by 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2016 / Notices 12731 

EPA. The information is also useful to 

identify trends of adverse effects across 

the industry that may not be apparent to 

any one chemical company. This ICR 

addresses the information reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements found in 40 

CFR part 717. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 717). Respondents may claim all or 

part of a notice 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. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.36 hours per 

response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

The ICR, which is available in the 

docket along with other related 

materials, provides a detailed 

explanation of the collection activities 

and the burden estimate that is only 

briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are companies that manufacture, 

process, import, or distribute in 

commerce chemical substances or 

mixtures. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 13,160. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.4. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

25,527 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$1,911,471. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $1,911,471 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 1,451 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects EPA’s estimate of a 

fewer number of potential respondents 

affected by the reporting requirement. 

This change is an adjustment. 

IV. 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 document 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.
