the information collection activities and 

the related burden and cost estimates 

that are summarized in this document, 

are available in the docket for this ICR. 

The docket can be viewed online at

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 31, 2018. 

Under OMB regulations, an agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. Under 

PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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. The OMB control numbers 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: This ICR covers the 

information collection activities 

associated with the Agency’s for 

allowing contractors to handle Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

Confidential Business Information (CBI). 

Certain employees of companies 

working under contract to EPA require 

access to CBI collected under the 

authority of TSCA in order to perform 

their official duties. All individuals 

desiring access to TSCA CBI must 

obtain and annually renew official 

clearance to access the TSCA CBI. As 

part of the process for obtaining TSCA 

CBI clearance, EPA requires certain 

information about the contracting 

company and about each contractor 

employee requesting TSCA CBI 

clearance, primarily the name, Social 

Security Number and EPA identification 

badge number of the employee, the type 

of TSCA CBI clearance requested, the 

justification for such clearance, and the 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
40272 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 157 / Tuesday, August 14, 2018 / Notices 

signature of the employee to an 

agreement with respect to access to and 

use of TSCA CBI. This information 

collection applies to the reporting 

activities associated with contractor 

personnel applying for new or renewed 

clearance for TSCA CBI. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are voluntary but failure to 

provide the requested information will 

prevent a contractor employee from 

obtaining clearance to access TSCA CBI. 

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. 

Form Numbers: EPA Form No. 7740– 

06. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR are 

companies under contract to EPA to 

provide certain services, whose 

employees must have access to TSCA 

CBI to perform their duties. 

Estimated number of respondents: 21 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 341 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $19,305 (per 

year), which includes $0 annualized 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease of 142 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This decrease 

reflects EPA’s a decrease in the number 

of contractor employees that need TSCA 

CBI clearance. This change is an 

adjustment.

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the agency taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not
