Guidance.’’ This guidance document is 

intended to clarify the ‘‘strong 

sensitizer’’ definition, assist 

manufacturers in understanding how 

CPSC staff would assess whether a 

substance and/or product containing 

that substance should be considered a 

‘‘strong sensitizer,’’ and how the 

Commission would make such a 

determination. The staff guidance 

document is available on the 

Commission’s Web site and from the 

Commission’s Office of the Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elsewhere 

in this issue of the Federal Register, the 

Commission is publishing a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for the purpose of 

revising the supplemental definition of 

‘‘strong sensitizer’’ found at 16 CFR 

1500.3(c)(5). The Commission is 

proposing to revise the supplemental 

definition of ‘‘strong sensitizer’’ due to 

advancements in the science of 

sensitization that have occurred since 

the current supplemental definition of 

‘‘strong sensitizer’’ was promulgated in 

1986. Toward this end, the Commission 

convened a panel of scientific experts 

from academia, industry, and the 

Federal Government who evaluated the 

current definition in light of scientific 

advances in the field of sensitization 

and made recommendations for 

proposed changes to the current 

definition, which eliminate redundancy, 

remove certain subjective factors, 

incorporate new and future technology 

for determining the sensitization 

characteristics of substances, rank the 

criteria for classification of strong 

sensitizers in order of importance (e.g., 

human over animal data), define criteria 

for ‘‘severity of reaction’’, and adopt a 

weight-of-the-evidence approach to 

determine the strength of the sensitizer. 

Commission staff has prepared a 

document titled, ‘‘Strong Sensitizer 

Guidelines,’’ which explains and 

clarifies each section of the proposed 

‘‘strong sensitizer’’ supplemental 

definition by explaining the current 

scientific rationale underlying the 

methodologies and analysis that staff 

will consider when assessing whether a 

substance is a strong sensitizer. The 

CPSC expects that the guidance 

document will assist manufacturers and 

other stakeholders in understanding 

how CPSC staff and the Commission 

would assess whether a substance or 

product containing a substance should 

be considered a ‘‘strong sensitizer.’’ The 

staff guidance document is available on 

the Commission’s Web site and from the 

Commission’s Office of the Secretary, 

both listed in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice.

ACTION: Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request. 

SUMMARY: The EIA has submitted the 

Financial Reporting EIA–28 Survey 

package to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance under 

the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. The Financial 

Reporting System, Form EIA–28 collects 

data used to analyze the energy 

industry’s competitive environment as 

well as energy industry resource 

development, supply distribution, and 

profitability issues. This is a request to 

conduct a comprehensive voluntary 

evaluation of an existing data collection 

to inform a future redesign of the EIA– 

28. This future redesign will measure 

upstream oil and gas costs for 

exploration and production for U.S. 

companies’ foreign and domestic 

operations. In order to successfully 

inform this redesign, EIA will assess the 

feasibility of collecting and measuring 

upstream oil and gas costs for 

exploration and production for U.S. 

energy companies’ foreign and domestic 

operations. EIA will work to identify the 

policy goals and data needs of its 

stakeholders with respect to the 

collection and measurement of 

upstream oil and gas costs. The goal of 

this evaluation is to collect enough data 

to successfully inform the future 

redesign of the EIA–28. 

DATES: Comments must be filed by April 

11, 2013. If you anticipate that you will 

be submitting comments but find it
