SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. 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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. What information collection activity 

or ICR does this action apply to? 

Title: Chemical-Specific Rules under 

the Toxic Substances Control Act 

Section 8(a); Certain Nanoscale 

Materials.

EPA ICR No.: 2517.04. 

OMB Control No.: 2070–0194. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

approved through September 30, 2024. 

Under the PRA, 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 for EPA’s 

regulations in title 40 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, 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 information collection 

request (ICR) covers reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for persons 

who manufacture or process chemical 

substances as nanoscale materials under 

the authority of section 8(a) of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) and 

implementing regulations in 40 CFR 

part 704.20. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 107.5 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 are those that 

manufacture or process chemical 

substances as nanoscale materials and is 

related to a final rule issued under the 

authority of section 8(a) of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA). The 

following North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes 

have been provided to assist in 

determining whether this action might 

apply to certain entities: 

• 325 Chemical Manufacturers and 

Processors; 

• 325130 Synthetic Dye and Pigment 

Manufacturing; 

• 324110 Petroleum Refineries; 

• 325180 Other Basic Inorganic 

Chemical Manufacturing; 

• 331221 Rolled Steel Shape 

Manufacturing; 

• 334413 Semiconductor and Related 

Device Manufacturing; 

• 335991 Carbon and Graphite Product 

Manufacturing; 

• 423220 Home Furnishing Merchant 

Wholesalers; 

• 423330 Roofing, Sliding, and 

Insulation Material Merchant 

Wholesalers; and 

• 423510 Metal Service Centers and 

Other Metal Merchant Wholesalers. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. TSCA section 8(a) and 40 

CFR 704.20. 

Forms: EPA Form 9600–07. 

Frequency of response: Occasional. 

Total estimated number of potential 

respondents: 9. 

Total estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.7. 

Total estimated annual burden hours: 

961 hours. 

Total estimated annual costs: 

$69,197, which includes 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 a decrease of 39,128 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects EPA’s adjustments in 

the estimation methodology of the costs 

and burden. The adjustments made to 

the estimation methodology include: 

• Burden estimates based on expected 

submissions, not on actual submissions 

received by the Agency, while the 

reporting covered in this period is based 

on actual submissions received by the 

Agency. This significant change 

accounts for the almost all the decrease 

in burden and cost estimates. 

• Burden estimates estimated 

separately for manufactures and 

processors, while the reporting covered 

in this period calculates a weighted 

burden for any given respondent 

without separating the manufacturers 

from the processors. This approach was 

deemed reasonable given that the 

Agency received only 27 submissions 

related to TSCA 8(a) nanomaterials in 

the three-year ICR period. 

In addition, OMB has requested that 

EPA adopt the 18-question format for 

ICR Supporting Statements that is used 

by other federal agencies and 

departments which is based on the 

submission instructions established by 

OMB, replacing the alternate format that 

has been used by EPA. Although this 

Supporting Statement has been 

modified to reflect the 18-question 

format, the change in format has not 

changed the information collection 

activities or related estimated burden 

and costs. 

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 person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

EPA Document in Support of the 

Paraquat Interim Registration Review 

Decision; Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In July 2021, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA 

or the Agency) completed the Paraquat 

Dichloride Interim Registration Review 

Decision (Paraquat ID). The Paraquat ID 

finalized certain portions of EPA’s 

analysis of paraquat’s risks and benefits 

and determined that certain mitigation 

measures were necessary for paraquat to 

meet the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) standard 

for registration. In September 2021, the 

California Rural Legal Assistance 

Foundation, et al. (Petitioners) filed a 

Petition for Review of the Paraquat ID in 

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth 

Circuit. As part of that litigation, EPA 

has further considered several 

substantive issues raised by the 

Petitioners in relation to the Paraquat 

ID, including concerns related to human 

health and EPA’s balancing of risks and 

benefits. This document announces the 

availability of and solicits public 

comment on a document that presents 

EPA’s preliminary reconsideration of 

the issues raised by Petitioners in 

relation to the Paraquat ID. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 1, 2024.
