Abstract: As directed under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act, EPA is required 

to assist in the preparation and 

publication in the Federal Register of an 

‘‘inventory of mercury supply, use, and 

trade in the United States’’ (15 U.S.C. 

2607(b)(10)(B) and (D)). Based on the 

inventory of information collected 

through this ICR, the Agency is directed 

to ‘‘identify any manufacturing 

processes or products that intentionally 

add mercury’’ and ‘‘recommend actions, 

including proposed revisions of Federal 

law or regulations, to achieve further 

reductions in mercury use’’ (15 U.S.C. 

2607(b)(10)(C)). 

The primary purpose of this ICR is to 

support the development of that 

inventory. In turn, the inventory will 

help the Agency identify uses of 

mercury and recommend means to 

achieve further reductions of such uses 

in commerce. In addition, the Agency 

seeks to obtain the information 

necessary to achieve its goal to further 

reduce the use of mercury in products 

and certain manufacturing processes in 

order to prevent future releases to the 

environment, as well as assist the 

United States in reporting 

implementation under the Minamata 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 226 / Friday, November 22, 2024 / Notices 92681 

Convention. EPA seeks to enhance its 

current information on how much 

mercury is used, in which products and 

manufacturing processes, and whether 

certain products are manufactured 

domestically, imported, or exported. 

Reporting is required from any person 

who manufactures (including imports) 

mercury or mercury-added products, as 

well as any person who otherwise 

intentionally uses mercury in a 

manufacturing process under TSCA 

section 8(b). The Agency promulgated 

reporting requirements at 40 CFR part 

713. To avoid duplication, EPA 

coordinated the reporting with the 

Interstate Mercury Education and 

Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC). 

Form number: 9600–024. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected are those that 

manufacture (including import) 

mercury, manufacture (including 

import) mercury containing products, 

and those who intentionally use 

mercury in a manufacturing process. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory, per TSCA section 8(b) and 

40 CFR 713. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

105 (total). 

Frequency of response: Triennial. 

Total estimated burden: 2,573 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $223,592 (per 

year), which includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 14,775 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease reflects a change in 

EPA’s method of estimating the number 

of expected reports. In 2021, EPA 

amended the original final rule to 

effectuate the vacatur ordered by the 

Second Circuit Court. In this ICR, with 

data available from the Mercury 

Inventory and with no new changes to 

the rule itself, this ICR utilizes data from 

the Reporting Year 2021 of the Mercury 

Inventory. In the RY 2021, there were 

105 submissions (the previous ICR used 

an estimate of 252). This ICR assumes 

each respondent completes the entire 

form. Wages were also updated to 2022 

dollars. This change is an adjustment.
