### 3770 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 25, 2012 / Notices

requiring manufacturers, processors and importers to provide productionvolume, plant site information and sitelimited status information. This information allows EPA to identify what chemicals are or are not currently in commerce and to take appropriate regulatory action as necessary. EPA also uses the information for screening chemicals for risks to human health or the environment, for priority-setting efforts, and for exposure estimates. This ICR addresses the collection of inventory-related information.

Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 711). 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 in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.

Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40.1 hours per response. Burden means 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. 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; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here:

Estimated total number of potential respondents: 4,289.

Frequency of response: Once every 4
years.

Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 3.7.

Estimated total annual burden hours: 642,823 hours.

Estimated total annual costs: $40,796,621. This includes an estimated burden cost of $40,796,621 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. IV. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

There is a decrease of 16,920 hours (from 659,743 hours to 642,823 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects EPA’s revised estimates to the number of affected sites and the number of responses per site, and adjusting burden estimates to capture burden reductions resulting from experiences with past reporting. The Supporting Statement provides additional detail. This change is an adjustment. V. 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 notice 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.
