SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

ICR Title: Request for Contractor

Access to TSCA Confidential Business

Information (EPA ICR No.: 1250.60;

OMB Control No.: 2070–0075).

Review Requested: This is a request

under 5 CFR 1320.12 to renew an

existing ICR currently scheduled to

expire on December 31, 2000. Under 5

CFR 1320.10(e)(2), the Agency may

continue to conduct or sponsor the

collection of information while the

submission is pending review at OMB.

Abstract: Certain employees of

companies working under contract to

EPA require access to confidential

business information (CBI) collected

under the authority of the Toxic

Substances Control Act (TSCA) in order

to perform their official duties. The

Office of Pollution Prevention and

Toxics (OPPT), which is responsible for

maintaining the security of TSCA CBI,

requires that all individuals desiring

access to TSCA CBI obtain and annually

renew official clearance to TSCA CBI.

As part of the process for obtaining

TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires

certain information about the

contracting company and about each

contractor employee requesting TSCA

CBI clearance, primarily the name,

Social Security Number and

identification badge number of the

employee, the type of TSCA CBI

clearance requested, the justification for

such clearance, and the signature of the

employee to an agreement with respect

to access to and use of TSCA CBI.

Responses to the collection of

information are voluntary, but failure to

provide the requested information will

prevent a contractor employee from

obtaining clearance to TSCA CBI. EPA

will observe strict confidentiality

precautions with respect to the

information collected on individual

employees, based on the Privacy Act of

1974, as outlined in the ICR and in the

collection instrument.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting burden for this collection of

information is estimated to average 1.56

hours per response for an estimated 432

respondents making one or more

submissions of information annually.

According to the PRA, ‘‘burden’’ means

the total time, effort, or financial

resources expended by persons to

generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or

provide information to or for a Federal

agency. For this collection it includes

the time needed to review instructions;

develop, acquire, install and utilize

technology and systems for the purposes

of collecting, validating and verifying

information, processing and

maintaining information, and disclosing

and providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply with any

previously applicable instructions and

requirements; train personnel to be able

to respond to a collection of

information; search data sources;

complete and review the collection of

information; and transmit or otherwise

disclose the information.

An Agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to a collection of information

that is subject to approval under the

Paperwork Reduction Act, unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control

number. The OMB control numbers for

EPA’s information collections appear as

part of the collection instruments (i.e.,

form or instructions), in the Federal

Register notices for related rulemaking

and ICR notices, and, if the collection is

contained in a regulation, in a table of

OMB approval numbers in 40 CFR part

9.

The ICR provides a detailed

explanation of the burden and cost

estimates for this ICR, which are only

briefly summarized here:

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Entities potentially affected by this

action are companies working under

contract to the Federal government

whose employees need access to TSCA

CBI, and employees of such companies.

Estimated No. of Potential

Respondents: 432.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: One, per occasion.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 675

hours.

Estimated Total Annual Non-labor

Costs: $0.

Changes in the ICR Since the Last

Approval: There is a decrease of 139

hours (from 814 hours to 675 hours) in

the total estimated respondent burden

from that currently in the OMB

inventory. This decrease reflects a lower

estimate of the number of employees at

contracting firms that need to obtain

clearance to access TSCA CBI.

According to the procedures

prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12, EPA has

submitted this ICR to OMB for review

and approval. Any comments related to

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 1, 2000 / Notices 65307

the renewal of this ICR should be

submitted within 30 days of this notice,

as described above.

Dated: October 23, 2000.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
