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.

**ADDRESSES :**  The guidance document is available from the Commission’s Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/Global/ Regulations-Laws-and-Standards/ Regulated-Products-Rules/ strongsensitizerguidance.pdf.

**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.

**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.
