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 oil spill control 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 

(FOSCs), 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 Land 

and Emergency Management. 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 FOSCs, 

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 

miscellaneous oil spill control agents. 

As of March 2016, 118 products are 

listed on the Schedule. It is estimated 

that 11 products per year will be 

submitted to EPA for listing on the 

Schedule. Over the three-year period 

covered by this ICR, an estimated 33 

products may be listed. Additionally, 

EPA estimates that approximately 10 

manufacturers will submit information 

to obtain sorbent certifications. The 

annual public reporting burden will be 

315 hours. The total annual cost 

(including labor and non-labor) to 

manufacturers under Subpart J is 

estimated to be $89,590. 

At 40 CFR 300.920(c), respondents are 

allowed to assert that certain 

information in the technical product 

data submissions is confidential 

business information. EPA will handle 

such claims pursuant to the provisions 

in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. Such 

information must be submitted 

separately from non-confidential 

information, clearly identified, and 

clearly marked ‘‘Confidential Business 

Information.’’ If the applicant fails to 

make such a claim at the time of 

submittal, EPA may make the 

information available to the public 

without further notice. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents include, but are not 

limited to, manufacturers of 

bioremediation agents, dispersants, 

surface collecting agents, surface 

washing agents, miscellaneous oil spill 

control agents, and other chemical 

agents and biological additives used as 

countermeasures against oil spills. 

Affected private industries can be 

expected to fall within the following 

industrial classifications: 

• Manufacturers of industrial 

inorganic chemicals (SIC 281/NAICS 

325188), 

• Manufacturers of industrial organic 

chemicals (SIC 286/NAICS 325199), and 

• Manufacturers of miscellaneous 

chemical products (SIC 289/NAICS 

325988). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

An oil spill mitigating agent does not 

have to be listed on the Product 

Schedule unless a manufacturer wants 

the product to be applied as part of an 

emergency response to an oil spill. If so, 

then certain mandatory product testing 

and information is required to be 

considered for listing on the Schedule. 

(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). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

Eleven per year. There are 100 

manufacturers and 118 products (27 

bioremediation agents, 19 dispersants, 

15 miscellaneous oil spill control 

agents, and 55 surface washing agents, 

2 surface collecting agents) currently 

listed on the January, 2016 Schedule. 

EPA estimates that manufacturers will 

apply to list 11 products on the 

Schedule each year, including 2 

bioremediation agents, 3 dispersants, 2 

miscellaneous oil spill control agents, 1 

surface collecting agent, and 3 surface 

washing agents. Over a three-year 

period, EPA anticipates that 

manufacturers will apply to list a total 

of 6 bioremediation agents, 9 

dispersants, 6 miscellaneous oil spill 

control agents, 3 surface collecting 

agent, and 9 surface washing agents on 

the Schedule. 

Frequency of response: Each 

manufacturer responds one time per 

product submittal. 

Total estimated burden: 315 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $72,450 (per 

year) 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

minor increase in burden hours and 

cost. All regulatory requirements are the 

same as in the 2010 and 2013 ICRs.
