Request; Comment Request; The 

National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Pollution Contingency 

Plan 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

The National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 

(EPA ICR No. 1664.09, OMB Control No. 

2050–0141) to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is 

soliciting public comments on specific 

aspects of the proposed information 

collection as described below. This is a 

proposed extension of the ICR, which is 

currently approved through October 31, 

2013. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before June 14, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPA–2007–0042 online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to 

Docke.rcra@epa.gov or by mail to: EPA 

Docket Center, Environmental 

Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 

1200 Pennsylvania Ave NW.,

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

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; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) 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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: This Information Collection 

Request (ICR) renewal supports 

activities to implement the National Oil 

and Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP), Subpart J (40 

CFR 300.900, ‘‘Use of Dispersants and 

Other Chemicals’’). 

The use of bioremediation agents, 

dispersants, surface washing agents, 

surface collecting agents and 

miscellaneous agents in response to oil 

spills in U.S. waters or adjoining 

shorelines is governed by Subpart J of 

the NCP regulation (40 CFR 300.900). 

Subpart J requirements include criteria 

for listing oil spill mitigating agents on 

the NCP Product Schedule, hereafter 

referred to as the Schedule. EPA’s 

regulation, which is codified at 40 CFR 

300.00, requires that EPA prepare a 

schedule of ‘‘dispersants, other 

chemicals, and other spill mitigating 

devices and substances, if any, that may 

be used in carrying out the NCP.’’ The 

Schedule is required by section 

311(d)(2)(G) of the Clean Water Act 

(CWA), as amended by the Oil Pollution 

Act of 1990. The Schedule is used by 

federal On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs), 

Regional Response Teams (RRTs), and 

Area Planners to identify spill 

mitigating agents in preparation for and 

response to oil spills. 

Under Subpart J, respondents who 

want to add a product to the Schedule 

must submit technical product data to 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or Agency) as stipulated in 

40 CFR 300.915. Specifically, Subpart J 

requires the manufacturer to conduct 

specific toxicity and effectiveness tests 

and submit the corresponding technical 

product data along with other detailed 

information to the EPA Office of 

Emergency Management, Office of Solid 

Waste and Emergency Response. For 

example, a dispersant must exceed the 

50-percent (±5 percent) efficacy 

threshold in order to be listed on the 

Schedule. EPA places oil spill 

mitigating agents on the Schedule if all 

the required data are submitted and the 

product satisfies all requirements and 

meets or exceeds testing thresholds. The 

Product Schedule is available to federal 

OSCs, RRTs, and Area Committees for 

determining the most appropriate 

products to use in various spill 

scenarios. 

Products currently listed on the 

Schedule are divided into five basic 

categories: dispersants, surface washing 

agents, surface collecting agents, 

bioremediation agents, and
