SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. This action may, however, be 

of interest to those involved in the 

manufacture, processing, distribution, 

disposal, and/or interested in the 

assessment of risks involving chemical 

substances and mixtures. Since other 

entities may also be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. 

B. What is EPA’s authority? 

This committee is being established 

under FACA, 5 U.S.C. Appendix 2. 

II. Purpose and Function of the 

Chemical Safety Advisory Committee 

The CSAC was established under 

FACA section 9(a) to provide advice and 

recommendations on the scientific basis 

for risk assessments, methodologies, and 

pollution prevention measures or 

approaches. 

OPPT manages programs under the 

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 

15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., and the Pollution 

Prevention Act (PPA), 42 U.S.C. 13101 

et seq. Under these laws, EPA evaluates 

new and existing chemical substances 

and their risks, and finds ways to 

prevent or reduce pollution before it is 

released into the environment. OPPT 

also manages a variety of environmental 

stewardship programs that encourage 

companies to reduce and prevent 

pollution. 

The CSAC will be composed of 

approximately ten members who will 

serve as Regular Government Employees 

(RGEs) or Special Government 

Employees (SGEs). The CSAC expects to 

meet in person or by electronic means 

(e.g., telephone, videoconference, 

webcast, etc.) approximately 3 to 4 

times a year, or as needed and approved 

by the Designated Federal Officer (DFO). 

Meetings will be held in the 

Washington, DC or Virginia area. The 

CSAC will be examined annually and 

will exist until the EPA determines that 

the CSAC is no longer needed. The 

charter will be in effect for 2 years from 

the date it is filed with Congress. After 

the initial 2-year period, the charter may 

be renewed as authorized in accordance 

with section 14 of FACA (5 U.S.C. 

Appendix 2, Section 14). A copy of the 

charter will be available on the EPA 

Web site and in the docket. 

III. Nominations Sought 

Nominations for membership are 

being solicited through publication of 

this document in the Federal Register 

and through other sources. Any 

interested person or organization may 

nominate him or herself or any qualified 

individual to be considered for the 

CSAC. 

Nominations should include 

candidates who have demonstrated high 

levels of competence, knowledge, and 

expertise in scientific/technical fields 

relevant to chemical risk assessment 

and pollution prevention. To the extent 

feasible, the members will include 

representation of the following 

disciplines, including, but not limited 

to: toxicology, pathology, environmental 

toxicology and chemistry, exposure 

assessment, and related sciences, e.g., 

synthetic biology, pharmacology, 

biotechnology, nanotechnology, 

biochemistry, biostatistics, 

pharmacologically based 

pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, 

computational toxicology, 

epidemiology, environmental fate, and 

environmental engineering and 

sustainability. EPA values and

and Petitions to Modify the List of 

Regulated Substances Under Section 

112(r) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Risk Management Program 

Requirements and Petitions to Modify 

the List of Regulated Substances under 

section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA).’’ (EPA ICR No. 1656.15, OMB 

Control No. 2050–0144) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before 

doing so, EPA is soliciting public 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. This is a proposed 

extension of the ICR, which is currently 

approved through December 31, 2015. 

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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before August 11, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2003–0052, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC 20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes profanity, threats, 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

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

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

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; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

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: The 1990 CAA Amendments 

added section 112(r) to provide for the 

prevention and mitigation of accidental 

releases. Section 112(r) mandates that 

EPA promulgate a list of ‘‘regulated 

substances’’ with threshold quantities 

and establish procedures for the 

addition and deletion of substances 

from the list of regulated substances. 

Processes at stationary sources that 

contain more than a threshold quantity 

of a regulated substance are subject to 

accidental release prevention 

regulations promulgated under CAA 

section 112(r)(7). These two rules are 

codified as 40 CFR part 68. 

Part 68 requires that sources with 

more than a threshold quantity of a 

regulated substance in a process 

develop and implement a risk 

management program and submit a risk 

management plan to EPA. EPA uses risk 

management plans to conduct oversight 

of regulated sources, and to 

communicate information concerning 

them to federal, state, and local agencies 

and the public, as appropriate. 

The compliance schedule for the part 

68 requirements was established by rule 

on June 20, 1996. The burden to sources 

that are currently covered by part 68, for 

initial rule compliance, including rule 

familiarization and program 

implementation was accounted for in 

previous ICRs. Sources submitted their 

first RMPs by June 21, 1999. For most 

sources, the next compliance deadlines 

occurred thereafter at five year 

intervals—in 2004, 2009, and 2014. A 

source submitting an RMP update to 

comply with their five-year compliance 

deadline will often submit their updated 

RMP several days or weeks early to 

ensure it is received by EPA before their 

deadline—these sources are assigned a 

new five-year deadline based off of the 

actual date of their most recent 

submission. Therefore, resubmissions 

tend to occur in ‘‘waves’’ peaking each
