Abstract: The Safer Detergent 

Stewardship Initiative (SDSI) is a 

voluntary program, administered by 

EPA to offer resources, and recognition 

to businesses involved in the transition 

to safer surfactants. Surfactants are a 

major ingredient in cleaning products 

such as detergents, cleaners, airplane 

deicers and fire-fighting foams. Safer 

surfactants are those that break down 

quickly to non-polluting compounds. 

Under SDSI, businesses that have fully 

transitioned to safer surfactants, or (for 

non-profits, academic institutions, etc.) 

can document outstanding efforts to 

encourage the use of safer surfactants, 

are granted Champion status. At this 

level, the participant is invited to the 

SDSI Awards ceremony, listed on the 

EPA SDSI Web site as a Champion, and 

may use a special logo in their literature 

to help explain their participation in the 

program. Businesses that commit to a 

full and timely transition to safer 

surfactants, or (for non-profits, academic 

institutions, etc.) can document 

outstanding efforts to encourage the use 

of safer surfactants, are granted Partner 

status. This category provides 

recognition of significant 

accomplishments towards the use of 

safer surfactants. Partners will be listed 

on the EPA SDSI Web site and may be 

granted recognition as a Champion in 

the future if appropriate. This 

information collection addresses 

reporting activities that support the 

administration of the SDSI program. 

Responses to this collection of 

information are voluntary. Respondents 

may claim all or part of a response 

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 10 hours per 

response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

The ICR, 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 establishments or organizations 

engaged in formulating, producing, 

purchasing, or distributing surfactants 

or products containing surfactants. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 14. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

140 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $8,232. 

This includes an estimated burden cost 

of $8,232 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 no change in the number of 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

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

Amendment of the Federal Docket 

Management System (EPA/GOV–2) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of 

the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 USC 552a), 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) is giving notice that it is 

amending the Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) system of 

records to add information collected in 

a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 

system. The FOIA system, 

‘‘FOIAonline’’, is a software application 

on the FDMS system infrastructure. The 

FOIAonline system is used by 

participating agencies to electronically 

receive, process, track and store requests 

from the public for federal records; post 

responsive records to a Web site; collect 

data for annual reporting requirements 

to the Department of Justice, and 

manage internal FOIA administration 

activities. In addition to the current 

FDMS functionalities, the FOIA system 

allows the public to submit and track 

FOIA requests and appeals; access 

requests and responsive records online, 

and obtain the status of requests filed 

with participating agencies. 

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on 

this system of records notice must do so 

by November 12, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OEI–2012–0483 by one of the following 

methods: 

• www.regulations.gov: Follow the 

online instructions for submitting 

comments.

General Information 

EPA is amending the Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) (System 

number: EPA–GOV–2) to add records 

collected in a Freedom of Information 

Act (FOIA) system. The system of record 

notice for FDMS was published in the 

Federal Register on March 24, 2005. 

The FDMS regulatory system contains 

Federal Register notices, materials 

supporting regulatory actions such as 

scientific and economic analyses, and 

public comments. The repository also 

contains dockets that are nonrulemaking. The system is used by 39 

federal agencies that conduct 

rulemaking activities. Each agency is 

responsible for managing its own docket 

and rulemaking documents. An agency 

may share documents with other 

agencies or persons in addition to 

making them available to the public on 

the regulations.gov Web site. Each 

agency has sole responsibility for 

documents submitted in support of its 

rulemakings. These documents will be 

processed by the responsible agencies. 

Some agencies require individuals to 

provide personally identifiable 

information when submitting a 

comment (e.g., name and contact 

information) that the agency can use if 

it experiences a problem receiving the 

comment or requires additional 

information to process the comment. A 

comment that meets all requirements of 

the recipient agency will be posted on 

the regualtions.gov Web site for public 

viewing. All the contents of posted 

comments will be searchable. Each 

agency manages, accesses, and controls 

the information in the regulatory system 

that is submitted to it and maintains the 

sole ability to disclose the information 

it receives. 

The FOIA system, FOIAonline, is 

used by participating agencies to 

administratively control and process 

requests for records in compliance with 

FOIA and to automate agency FOIA 

administration activities. FOIAonline 

provides a secure, login access Web site 

for agencies to receive and store 

requests; assign and process requests; 

post responses online; produce 

agencies’ annual reports to the 

Department of Justice and manage FOIA 

requests electronically. The system 

allows the public to submit and track 

requests; search and download requests 

and responsive records; correspond 

with processing staff and file appeals as 

registered users. Each participating 

agency manages, accesses, and controls 

requests submitted to it through 

FOIAonline, including responding to 

requests for information in the 

possession of the agency and making 

information available in the system’s 

repository of released records. 

The name of a FOIA requester will be 

publicly available and searchable by the 

public based on an Agency’s policies. 

With the exception of a requester’s 

name, any other personally identifiable 

information provided by a requester 

during the process of completing the 

online request form or creating an 

online account (e.g., home addresses, 

email address and contact information) 

will not be posted to the Web site, nor 

will it be searchable by the public. 

Personally identifiable information 

determined to be publicly releasable 

and contained in documents released to 

the public under FOIA (e.g., the names 

and official contact information of 

government employees or the names of 

agency correspondents) will be publicly 

available and searchable by the public if 

posted by a participating agency based 

on their internal policies.

required security standards issued by 

the National Institute of Science and 

Technology (NIST). Records in FDMS 

are maintained in a secure, password 

protected electronic system that utilizes 

security hardware and software to 

include multiple firewalls, active 

intruder detection, and role-based 

access controls. Additional safeguards 

will vary by agency. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

The system has the ability to retrieve 

records by numerous data elements and 

key word searches, including name, 

agency, dates, subject, docket type, 

docket sub-type, agency docket ID, 

docket title, docket category, document 

type, CFR Part, date received and 

Federal Register publication date, FOIA 

tracking number and other information 

retrievable with full-text searching 

capability. 

ACCESSING: 

The public may access regulatory 

records in the system at 

www.regulations.gov and FOIA records 

at https://foiaonline.regulations.gov. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

FDMS security protocols meet 

multiple NIST security standards from 

authentication to certification and 

accreditation. Records in the system are 

maintained in a secure, password 

protected electronic system that utilizes 

security hardware and software to
