Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 147 / Tuesday, July 31, 2018 / Notices 36929 

(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: The Toxic Substances 

Control Act (TSCA), as amended by the 

Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for 

the 21st Century Act, requires EPA to 

compile and keep current a complete 

list of chemical substances 

manufactured (including imported) or 

processed in the United States. EPA 

updates this inventory of chemicals 

every four years by requiring 

manufacturers, including importers, to 

provide production volume, plant site 

information and other chemical 

manufacturing, processing, and use 

information. Through the CDR 

regulation, EPA collects basic exposurerelated manufacturing, processing, and 

use information used by the Agency and 

others in a wide range of activities This 

information allows EPA to identify what 

chemicals are currently in commerce 

and to take appropriate regulatory 

action as necessary. The information 

collected enables EPA to better 

understand and interpret the state of 

U.S. chemical manufacturing, 

processing, and use, and further 

enhances EPA’s ability to identify, 

evaluate, and manage potential 

chemical risks. This ICR addresses the 

collection of inventory-related 

information. 

Responses to the collection of 

required information are mandatory (see 

40 CFR part 710). Respondents may 

claim all or part of a notice confidential. 

EPA will disclose information that is 

covered by a claim of confidentiality 

only to the extent permitted by, and in 

accordance with, the procedures 

described in TSCA section 14 and 40 

CFR part 2. 

Burden statement: The annual perresponse public reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for this collection 

of information is estimated to average 

126.44 hours per year for the average 

multi-chemical submission of 7.5 

chemicals per site with 22% of reports 

consisting of partial reports. 

Additionally, for CDX electronic 

reporting activities, the average per 

response burden is estimated at .53 

hours per registration for those 

respondents not already registered in 

CDX. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

The ICR Supporting Statement, 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 

(including import) or process chemical 

substances, mixtures or categories into 

the United States. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 5,662. 

Frequency of response: Every four 

years (estimates below are on an annual 

basis). 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

716,024 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$56,959,323. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $59,959,323 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 73,179 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects a combination of 

program changes and adjustments. 

Program changes involving updated CBI 

substantiation requirements as a result 

of the Lautenberg Act are estimated at 

4,877 hours. Agency adjustments 

include changes due to methodology 

corrections at—184,158 hours, and 

changes due to increased counts of sites 

at 106,102 hours. The ICR supporting 

statement provides a detailed analysis of 

the change in burden estimate. This 

change is an adjustment and the result 

of a program change. 

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.

Title: Proposed Demographic 

Information and Notifications, Second 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(FNPRM), CC Docket No. 98–147 and 

Fifth NPRM (NPRM), CC Docket No. 96– 

98. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 750 respondents; 1,500 

responses. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirements and third-party 

disclosure requirement. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

hours. 

Total Annual Burden: 3,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151–154, 201, 

202, 251–254, 256, 271, and 303(r) of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting 

respondents to submit confidential 

information to the FCC. If the applicants 

wish to submit information which they 

believe is confidential, they may request 

confidential treatment of such 

information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

asked whether physical collocation in 

remote terminals presents technical or 

security concerns, and if so, whether 

these concerns warrant modification of 

its collocation rules. The Commission 

asked whether incumbent LECs should 

be required to provide requesting 

carriers with demographic and other 

information regarding particular remote 

terminals similar to the information 

available regarding incumbent LEC 

central offices. Requesting carriers use 

demographic and other information 

obtained from incumbent LECs to 

determine whether they wish to 

collocate at particular remote terminals. 

This proposed information collection in 

the Second Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, FCC 98–147, will be used 

by the Commission, state commissions, 

and competitive carriers to facilitate the 

deployment of advanced services and 

other telecommunications services in 

implementation of section 251(c)(6) of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. The number of respondents, 

annual responses, and annual burden 

has not changed.
