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: TCSA Notification of 

Substantial Risk of Injury to Health and 

the Environment (TSCA Section 8(e)). 

EPA ICR No.: 0794.17. 

OMB Control No.: 2070–0046. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

approved through October 31, 2022. 

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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
7174 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 8, 2022 / Notices 

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: Under TSCA section 8(e), 

any person who manufactures (defined 

by statute to include imports), 

processes, or distributes in commerce a 

chemical substance or mixture and who 

obtains information which reasonably 

supports the conclusion that such 

substance or mixture presents a 

substantial risk of injury to health or the 

environment is required to immediately 

inform EPA of such information unless 

they have actual knowledge that EPA 

has been adequately informed of such 

information (15 U.S.C. 2607(e)). 

EPA receives and screens TSCA 

section 8(e) submissions covering a 

large number of chemical substances 

and mixtures on a wide range of 

chemical toxicity/exposure information. 

Although EPA’s receipt of TSCA section 

8(e) information does not necessarily 

trigger immediate regulatory action 

under TSCA or other authorities 

administered by EPA, all TSCA section 

8(e) submissions receive screening level 

evaluations by EPA’s Office of Pollution 

Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) to 

identify priorities for further Agency 

action and appropriate referrals to other 

programs. 

In addition, EPA is offering an 

electronic reporting option for use both 

by those who are required to submit a 

notification of substantial risk under 

TSCA section 8(e) and by those who 

wish voluntarily to submit ‘‘For Your 

Information’’ (FYI) notices by registering 

and submitting information 

electronically using the Agency’s 

Central Data Exchange (CDX). 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 50 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 

manufacture, process, import, or 

distribute in commerce chemical 

substances and mixtures. The following 

North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes 

have been provided to assist in 

determining whether this action might 

apply to certain entities: Chemical 

manufacturing (NAICS code 325) and 

petroleum and coal product 

manufacturing (NAICS code 324). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory; 15 U.S.C. 2607(e). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated number of potential 

respondents: 51. 

Total estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 343. 

Total estimated annual burden hours: 

17,565 hours. 

Total estimated annual costs: 

$1,635,246. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $1,635,246 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

III. Are there changes in the estimates 

from the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 3,847 hours 

from that currently in the OMB 

inventory (from 21,412 to 17,565 hours). 

This reflects an overall decrease in the 

number of section 8(e) and FYI 

submissions, which decreased from 408 

to 343 8(e) submissions and 13 to 6 FYI 

submissions respectively total annual 

costs compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This increase is due to an increase in 

the hourly wages and a change in the 

methodology to calculate loaded wages 

(wages plus fringe benefits and 

overhead). Additional details are in the 

ICR. This change is an adjustment. 

In addition, OMB has requested that 

EPA move towards using the 18- 

question format for ICR Supporting 

Statements used by other federal 

agencies and departments and is based 

on the submission instructions 

established by OMB in 1995, replacing 

the alternate format developed by EPA 

and OMB prior to 1995. The Agency 

does not expect this change in format to 

result in substantive changes to the 

information collection activities or 

related estimated burden and costs. 

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

CONTACT.
