SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Education (ED), in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed, 

revised, and continuing collections of 

information. This helps the Department 

assess the impact of its information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Streamlined 

Clearance Process for Discretionary 

Grants. 

OMB Control Number: 1894–0001. 

Type of Review: An extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments Total 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3. 

Abstract: Section 3505(a)(2) of the 

PRA of 1995 provides the OMB Director 

authority to approve the streamlined 

clearance process proposed in this 

information collection request. This 

information collection request was 

originally approved by OMB in January 

of 1997. This information collection 

streamlines the clearance process for all 

discretionary grant information 

collections which do not fit the generic 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 15 / Monday, January 24, 2022 / Notices 3517 

application process. The streamlined 

clearance process continues to reduce 

the clearance time for the U.S. 

Department of Education’s (ED’s) 

discretionary grant information 

collections by two months or 60 days. 

This is desirable for two major reasons: 

it would allow ED to provide better 

customer service to grant applicants and 

help meet ED’s goal for timely awards 

of discretionary grants. § 3474.20(d) 

adds the requirement for grantees to 

develop a dissemination plan for 

copyrighted work under open licensing. 

Information contained in the narrative 

of an application will be captured in the 

Evidence of Effectiveness Form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document provides the receipt 

and status reports for the period from 

12/01/2021 to 12/31/2021. The Agency 

is providing notice of receipt of PMNs, 

SNUNs and MCANs (including 

amended notices and test information); 

an exemption application under 40 CFR 

part 725 (Biotech exemption); TMEs, 

both pending and/or concluded; NOCs 

to manufacture a new chemical 

substance; and a periodic status report 

on new chemical substances that are 

currently under EPA review or have 

recently concluded review. 

EPA is also providing information on 

its website about cases reviewed under 

the amended TSCA, including the 

section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN and 

exemption notices received, the date of 

receipt, the final EPA determination on 

the notice, and the effective date of 

EPA’s determination for PMN/SNUN/ 

MCAN notices on its website at: https:// 

www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ 

status-pre-manufacture-notices. This 

information is updated on a weekly 

basis. 

B. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

Under the Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a 

chemical substance may be either an 

‘‘existing’’ chemical substance or a 

‘‘new’’ chemical substance. Any 

chemical substance that is not on EPA’s 

TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances 

(TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ‘‘new 

chemical substance,’’ while a chemical 

substance that is listed on the TSCA 

Inventory is classified as an ‘‘existing 

chemical substance.’’ (See TSCA section 

3(11).) For more information about the 

TSCA Inventory please go to: https://

www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory. 

Any person who intends to 

manufacture (including import) a new 

chemical substance for a non-exempt 

commercial purpose, or to manufacture 

or process a chemical substance in a 

non-exempt manner for a use that EPA 

has determined is a significant new use, 

is required by TSCA section 5 to 

provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or 

SNUN, as appropriate, before initiating 

the activity. EPA will review the notice, 

make a risk determination on the 

chemical substance or significant new 

use, and take appropriate action as 

described in TSCA section 5(a)(3). 

TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA 

to allow persons, upon application and 

under appropriate restrictions, to 

manufacture or process a new chemical 

substance, or a chemical substance 

subject to a significant new use rule 

(SNUR) issued under TSCA section 

5(a)(2), for ‘‘test marketing’’ purposes, 

upon a showing that the manufacture, 

processing, distribution in commerce, 

use, and disposal of the chemical will 

not present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to health or the environment. 

This is referred to as a test marketing 

exemption, or TME. For more 

information about the requirements 

applicable to a new chemical go to: 

https://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems. 

Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and 

EPA regulations, EPA is required to 

publish in the Federal Register certain 

information, including notice of receipt 

of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including 

amended notices and test information); 

an exemption application under 40 CFR 

part 725 (biotech exemption); an 

application for a TME, both pending 

and concluded; NOCs to manufacture a 

new chemical substance; and a periodic 

status report on the new chemical 

substances that are currently under EPA
