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

requiring manufacturers, processors and 

importers to provide production 

volume, 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. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

I. Information about Pavillion Ground 

Water Investigation 

Pavillion, Wyoming is located in 

Fremont County, about 20 miles 

northwest of Riverton. The concern at 

the site is potential ground water 

contamination, based on resident 

complaints about smells, tastes, and 

adverse changes in water quality of their 

domestic wells. In collaboration with 

ORD, Region 8 has been conducting a 

ground water investigation. The purpose 

of this ground water investigation is to 

better understand the basic ground 

water hydrology and how the 

constituents of concern may be 

occurring in the aquifer. More 

information is available at http://
