Abstract: The generic ICR addresses 

the information collection activities 

associated with the authorities provided 

to EPA under TSCA section 4 (15 U.S.C. 

2603), which allows EPA to require the 

development of information related to 

chemicals to inform EPA and other 

federal agencies about chemical risks, 

which in turn will inform decision 

makers for purposes of prioritization, 

risk evaluation and risk management of 

those chemicals. 

Respondents/affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are manufacturers (including imports) 

or processors of chemical substances of 

mixtures, e.g., entities identified by 

North American Industrial 

Classification System Codes 325 and 

324. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory per 15 U.S.C. 2603. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

263. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 114,561 

hours (three year total). Burden is 

defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated costs: $27,261,789 

(three year total), including $17,725,254 

capital or operation and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: The annual 

estimated labor burden associated with 

testing costs increased by 5,749 hours. 

Updates were made to reflect testing 

burden and labor costs for activities 

associated with contacting laboratories 

and arranging testing and sample 

collection. In addition, the 5,749 also 

accounts for the burden being merged 

into this ICR that is associated with 

activities associated with contacting 

laboratories and arranging testing as 

well as reviewing guidance documents 

and pre-issuance outreach for Test 

Orders. The estimated non-labor testing 

costs increased due to inflation. With 

the increase in testing costs as well as 

increases in labor and overhead costs 

over time, the annual costs to the 

industry respondents increased by 

$1,014,408.
