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

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,

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: Sections 311 and 312 of the 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) apply to the 

owner or operator of any facility that is 

required to prepare or have available a 

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for a 

hazardous chemical under the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 and its implementing regulations. 

Under section 311 of EPCRA, these 

facilities are required to submit MSDS 

to the State Emergency Response 

Commission (SERC), the Local 

Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), 

and the local fire department for each 

hazardous chemical stored on-site in a 

quantity greater than the reporting 

threshold. Alternatively, a list of subject 

chemicals, grouped by hazard type, may 

be submitted. Section 312 of EPCRA 

requires owners and operators of 

facilities subject to section 311 to 

annually report the inventories of those 

chemicals reported under section 311. 

The Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) is required to publish two 

emergency and hazardous chemical 

inventory forms, known as ‘‘Tier I’’ and 

‘‘Tier II,’’ for use by these facilities. 

These forms were first published in 

October 1987 and amended in July 

1990. On July 13, 2012, EPA further 

revised these forms to add some new 

data elements that would be useful for 

local emergency planners and 

responders. This is the renewal of the 

information collection request which 

was previously approved by OMB in 

ICR No. 2436.02. In ICR 2436.02, EPA 

estimated that after the initial reporting 

of the new data elements, which was 

reporting year 2013, that it would only 

take 0.25 hours per facility to review the 

new data elements and revise if 

necessary. Most of the new data 

elements were added to page one of the 

Tier II form, which include contact 

information for facility emergency 

coordinator; Tier II information; 

whether facility is manned or 

unmanned; if the facility is subject to 

EPCRA Section 302 or CAA Section 

112(r) (Risk Management Program) etc. 

EPA do not expect these data to change 

annually. However, we estimated that 

minimal burden may be incurred for 

reviewing these data annually and 

revising the information as necessary. 

Form Numbers: 8700–30, Emergency 

and Hazardous Chemical Inventory 

Form. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Facilities that are required to prepare or 

have available a Material Safety Data 

Sheet (MSDS) for any hazardous 

chemicals present at the facility above 

the reporting thresholds specified in the 

regulations at 40 CFR part 370. These 

facilities are required to submit a 

hazardous chemical inventory form, to 

the SERC, LEPC and the local fire 

department with jurisdiction over the 

facility, by March 1 annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation to Respond: 

Mandatory under Section 312 of 

EPCRA. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

Approximately 390,000 facility 

respondents (120,000 manufacturers 

and 270,000 non-manufacturers) and 

3,052 SERCs and LEPCs (total). 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Total Estimated Burden: 97,500 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total Estimated Cost: $5,675,675 per 

year. There are no annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs expected 

during this ICR period. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 195,000 hours in the total 

estimated facility respondent burden 

compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This decrease is due 

to facility incurring minor burden for 

reviewing and updating previously 

reported data mainly on page one of the 

Tier II inventory form.
