announces that EPA is planning to 

submit a request to renew an existing 

approved Information Collection 

Request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). This 

ICR, entitled: ‘‘Notification of Chemical 

Exports - TSCA Section 12(b)’’ and 

identified by EPA ICR No. 0795.13 and 

OMB Control No. 2070–0030, is

2009. Before submitting the ICR to OMB 

for review and approval, EPA is 

soliciting comments on specific aspects 

of the proposed information collection. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 5, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2008–0906, by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What Information Is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

PRA, 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.

III. What Information Collection 

Activity or ICR Does This Action Apply 

to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this ICR are companies that 

export from the United States to foreign 

countries, or that engage in wholesale 

sales of, chemical substances or 

mixtures. These entities are mostly 

chemical companies classified under 

the North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes 

325 and 32411. 

Title: Notification of Chemical 

Exports - TSCA Section 12(b). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0795.13, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0030. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

2009. 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 listed in 40 

CFR part 9, 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: Section 12(b)(2) of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 

that any person who exports or intends 

to export to a foreign country a chemical 

substance or mixture that is regulated 

under TSCA sections 4, 5, 6 and/or 7 

submit to EPA notification of such 

export or intent to export. Upon receipt 

of notification, EPA will advise the 

government of the importing country of 

the U.S. regulatory action with respect 

to that substance. EPA uses the 

information obtained from the submitter 

via this collection to advise the 

government of the importing country. 

This information collection addresses 

the burden associated with industry 

reporting of export notifications. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 707). Respondents may claim all or 

part of a notice confidential. EPA will 

disclose information that is covered by 

a claim of confidentiality only to the 

extent permitted by, and in accordance 

with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 

and 40 CFR part 2. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to be 1.39 hours per response. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

or provide information to or for a 

Federal agency. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; develop, 

acquire, install, and utilize technology 

and systems for the purposes of 

collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 300. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 12. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

4,850 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$264,255. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $264,255 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

There is a decrease of 2,700 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

decrease reflects the net effect of a 

decrease in the estimated number of 

notices sent to EPA and a decrease in 

the number of firms sending notices, 

based on EPA’s recent experience with 

TSCA section 12(b) notices. This change 

is an adjustment. 

V. 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 notice 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 technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.
