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 1.36 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 persons who currently possess PCB 

items, PCB-contaminated equipment, or 

other PCB waste. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 548,298. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

745,926 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$34,581,690. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $34,581,690 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 total 

estimated respondent burden (745,926 

hours) from that currently in the OMB 

inventory. The changes in the total 

annual respondent reporting and 

recordkeeping costs are due to updates 

to the most current wage rate data. The 

up-to-date wage rates and the change 

from the previous ICR are as follows: 

• Manager—new rate, $77.86; prior 

rate; $77.81; (less than 1 percent) 

percent increase). 

• Clerical—new rate, $37.76; prior 

rate, $30.36 (24 percent increase). 

• Professional/technical—new rate, 

$78.33; prior rate, $64.55 (21 percent 

increase). 

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

INFORMATION CONTACT.

develop risk communication strategies 

that will help communities to address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Comments 

FHFA seeks public comments on the 

revisions to the system of records and 

will take all comments into 

consideration. See 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) 

and (11). In addition to referencing 

‘‘Comments/No. 2018–N–09,’’ please 

reference ‘‘Reasonable Accommodation 

and Personal Assistance Services

FHFA will make all comments timely

is located on the FHFA website at 

http://www.fhfa.gov. All comments 

received will be posted without change

II. Introduction 

This notice informs the public of 

FHFA’s proposed revisions to an 

existing system of records. This notice 

satisfies the Privacy Act requirement 

that an agency publishes a system of 

records notice in the Federal Register 

when there is an addition or change to 

an agency’s systems of records. Congress 

has recognized that application of all 

requirements of the Privacy Act to 

certain categories of records may have 

an undesirable and often unacceptable 

effect upon agencies in the conduct of 

necessary public business. 

Consequently, Congress established 

general exemptions and specific 

exemptions that could be used to 

exempt records from provisions of the 

Privacy Act. Congress also required that 

exempting records from provisions of 

the Privacy Act would require the head 

of an agency to publish a determination 

to exempt a record from the Privacy Act 

as a rule in accordance with the 

Administrative Procedure Act. The 

Director of FHFA has determined that 

records and information in this system 

of records is not exempt from the 

requirements of the Privacy Act. 

As required by the Privacy Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552a(r), and pursuant to section 

7 of OMB Circular No. A–108, ‘‘Federal 

Agency Responsibilities for Review, 

Reporting, and Publication under the 

Privacy Act,’’ dated December 23, 2016 

(81 FR 94424 (Dec. 23, 2016)), prior to 

publication of this notice, FHFA 

submitted a report describing the system 

of records covered by this notice to the 

Office of Management and Budget, the 

Committee on Oversight and 

Government Reform of the House of 

Representatives, and the Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs of the Senate. 

III. Revised Systems Of Records 

The ‘‘Reasonable Accommodation 

Information System’’ (FHFA–18) system 

of records is being revised to change the 

system name, address new records that 

will be collected, update the system’s 

purpose, add one new routine use, and 

make non-substantive edits. The 

system’s new name will be ‘‘Reasonable 

Accommodation and Personal 

Assistance Services Information 

System.’’ The current purpose of the 

system is to collect and maintain 

records from individuals who request a 

reasonable accommodation. FHFA is 

proposing to expand the purpose of the 

system to include records collected and 

maintained from individuals who 

request personal assistance services. 

The revised routine use updates the 

language for the disclosure of records
