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: Toxic Chemical Release 

Reporting. 

EPA ICR No.: 2613.07. 

OMB Control No.: 2070–0212. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

approved through June 30, 2025. 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: Pursuant to section 313 of 

the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), certain facilities that 

manufacture, process, or otherwise use 

specified toxic chemicals in amounts 

above reporting threshold levels as 

provided in 40 CFR 372.25 must submit 

annually to EPA and to their designated 

state or Indian country officials toxic 

chemical release forms containing 

information specified by EPA; (see 42 

U.S.C. 11023). In addition, pursuant to 

section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention 

Act (PPA), facilities reporting under 

section 313 of EPCRA must also report 

pollution prevention and waste 

management data, including recycling 

information, for such chemicals; (see 42 

U.S.C. 13106). EPA compiles and stores 

these reports in a publicly accessible 

database known as the Toxics Release 

Inventory (TRI). Regulations at 40 CFR 

part 372, subpart B, require facilities 

that meet the above criteria to report 

annually. 

This ICR consolidates the following 

final rule ICRs titled ‘‘Rule-Related ICR 

Amendment; Changes to Reporting 

Requirements for Per- and 

Polyfluoroalkyl Substances; Community 

Right-to-Know Toxic Chemical Release 

Reporting, Final Rule (RIN 2070– 

AK97)’’ (OMB Control No. 2070–0225; 

EPA ICR No. 2724.02), ‘‘Addition of 

Natural Gas Processing Facilities to the 

Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) (Final 

Rule)’’ (OMB Control No. 2070–0206; 

EPA ICR No. 2560.02); and ‘‘Parent 

Company Definition for TRI Reporting 

(Final Rule)’’ (OMB Control No. 2070– 

0216; EPA ICR No. 2597.02) into this 

renewal ICR. Upon OMB approval of 

this ICR, EPA intends to discontinue 

OMB Control Nos. 2070–0225, 2070– 

0206, and 2070–0216. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 22 to 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 are those that apply 

to owners and operators of facilities 

covered under EPCRA section 313(a). 

EPCRA section 313(a) includes facilities 

that meet the following three criteria: 

have 10 or more full-time employee 

equivalents (i.e., a total of 20,000 hours 

worked per year or greater; see 40 CFR 

372.3). The full list of potentially 

affected entities by North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

codes for facilities that must report to 

TRI (including exemptions and/or 

limitations), if all other reporting 

thresholds are met, can be found at 40 

CFR 372.23.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 76471 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory, 40 CFR 372 and EPCRA 

section 313. 

Forms: 9350–1 and 9350–2. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated number of potential 

respondents: 24,742. 

Total estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 3. 

Total estimated annual burden hours: 

3,600,970 hours. 

Total estimated annual costs: 

$285.304,888, which includes $0 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is an overall average decrease of 

698 Form Rs and an increase of 1600 

Form As estimated to be submitted to 

EPA as a result of EPA’s exercise of its 

discretionary authority to apply TRI 

reporting requirements to 2,990 

particular facilities, for specified 

chemicals. There is a decrease in 15,858 

burden hours. However, there is an 

overall increase of 839,052 non-form 

(constant) burden hours from the 

current approved ICR; this increase 

reflects the increase in supplier 

notification burden as a result of the 

Changes to Reporting Requirements for 

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and 

to Supplier Notifications for Chemicals 

of Special Concern rule publish on 

October 31, 2023 (88 FR 74360 (FRL– 

8741–04–OCSPP)). This is program 

adjustment. 

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
