5 ‘‘Burden’’ is defined as 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. For further 

explanation of what is included in the information 

collection burden, refer to 5 Code of Federal 

Regulations 1320.3. 

6Costs (for wages and benefits) are based on wage 

figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for 

May 2017 (at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ 

naics2_22.htm) and benefits information (for 

December 2017, issued March 20, 2018, at https:// 

www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.nr0.htm). 

Commission staff estimates that 20% of the work is 

performed by a manager, and 80% is performed by 

legal staff members. The hourly costs for wages plus 

benefits are: $94.28 for management services (code 

11–0000), and $143.68 for legal services (code 23– 

0000). Therefore, the weighted hourly cost (for 

wages plus benefits) is $133.80 [or (0.80 * $143.68) 

+ (0.20 * $94.28)].

response to these reports. 

A report required by 18 CFR 

260.9(a)(1)(i) of damage to natural gas 

facilities resulting in loss of pipeline 

throughput or storage deliverability 

shall be reported to the Director of the 

Commission’s Division of Pipeline 

Certificates at the earliest feasible time 

when pipeline throughput or storage 

deliverability has been restored. 

In any instance in which an incident 

or damage report involving 

jurisdictional natural gas facilities is 

required by Department of 

Transportation (DOT) reporting 

requirements under the Natural Gas 

Pipeline Safety Act of 1968, a copy of 

such report shall be submitted to the 

Director of the Commission’s Division of 

Pipeline Certificates, within 30 days of 

the reportable incident.4

If the Commission failed to collect 

these data, it would lose the ability to 

monitor and evaluate transactions, 

operations, and reliability of interstate 

pipelines and perform its regulatory 

functions. These reports are kept by the 

Commission Staff as non-public 

information and are not made part of the 

public record. 

Type of Respondents: Natural gas 

companies.

both pending and/or concluded; NOCs 

to manufacture a new chemical

the amended TSCA, including the 

section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and 

exemption notices received, the date of 

receipt, the final EPA determination on 

the notice, and the effective date of 

EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/ 

MCAN notices on its website at: https:// 

www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ 

status-pre-manufacture-notices. This 

information is updated on a weekly 

basis. 

B. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Under the Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a 

chemical substance may be either an 

‘‘existing’’ chemical substance or a 

‘‘new’’ chemical substance. Any 

chemical substance that is not on EPA’s 

TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances 

(TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ‘‘new 

chemical substance,’’ while a chemical 

substance that is listed on the TSCA 

Inventory is classified as an ‘‘existing 

chemical substance.’’ (See TSCA section 

3(11).) For more information about the 

TSCA Inventory go to: https://

www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory. 

Any person who intends to 

manufacture (including import) a new 

chemical substance for a non-exempt 

commercial purpose, or to manufacture 

or process a chemical substance in a 

non-exempt manner for a use that EPA 

has determined is a significant new use, 

is required by TSCA section 5 to 

provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or 

SNUN, as appropriate, before initiating 

the activity. EPA will review the notice,
