Title: Tier 1 Screening of Certain 

Chemicals under the Endocrine 

Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2249.01, 

OMB Control No. 2070-new. 

ICR Status: This ICR is for a new 

information collection activity that is 

not contained in a regulation. 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 

number for this ICR will appear in the 

Federal Register when approved, and 

will be displayed on the related 

collection instruments, i.e., the Tier 1 

Order and Initial Response Forms. 

Abstract: This ICR covers the 

information collection activities 

associated with Tier 1 screening of the 

first group of chemicals under the 

Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program 

(EDSP). The EDSP is established under 

section 408(p) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which 

requires endocrine screening of all 

pesticide chemicals. The Agency 

established the EDSP in 1998 (63 FR 

71541, December 28, 1998) to consist of 

a two-tiered approach for evaluating all 

pesticide chemicals for potential 

endocrine disrupting effects. The 

purpose of Tier 1 screening (referred to 

as ‘‘screening’’) is to identify substances 

that have the potential to interact with 

the estrogen, androgen, or thyroid 

hormone systems using a battery of 

assays. The purpose of Tier 2 testing 

(referred to as ‘‘testing’’), is to identify 

and establish a dose-response 

relationship for any adverse effects that 

might result from the interactions 

identified through the Tier 1 assays. 

Additional information about the EDSP 

is available through the Agency’s Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/ 

oscpendo/index.htm. 

The focus of this ICR is on the 

information collection activities 

associated with the Tier 1 screening of 

the first group of chemicals identified 

for initial screening under the EDSP. 

After an opportunity for public 

comment on a draft list, the Agency has 

identified a final list of chemicals to be 

the first to undergo Tier 1 screening. 

(This list appears in a separate notice 

published in today’s Federal Register.) 

This list should not be construed as a 

list of known or likely endocrine 

disruptors. Nothing in the approach for 

generating the initial list provides a 

basis to infer that by simply being on 

this list these chemicals are suspected to 

interfere with the endocrine systems of 

humans or other species, and it would 

be inappropriate to do so. The first 

group of chemicals identified for testing 

includes pesticide active ingredients 

and High Production Volume (HPV) 

chemicals used as pesticide inerts. More 

information on the EPA’s priority 

setting approach and the list of 

chemicals is available at http:// 

www.epa.gov/scipoly/oscpendo/ 

prioritysetting. 

This ICR does not cover the 

information collection activities related 

to Tier 2 testing because that testing is 

not expected to occur until the Tier 2 

tests complete validation as required by 

FFDCA. EPA will prepare a separate ICR 

to address the information collection 

activities associated with Tier 2 testing. 

In addition, subsequent Tier 1 screening 

of additional chemicals not selected for 

the initial round will be addressed 

separately, either in a separate ICR or in 

an amendment to this ICR. In either 

case, EPA will follow the notice and 

comment process prescribed by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) to first 

seek public comment on the new or 

revised ICR before submitting it to OMB 

for review and approval under the PRA. 

Burden Statement: The annualized 

public reporting and recordkeeping 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 1003 hours per 

response, although individual 

respondent burden varies based on their 

individual activities. 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, a copy of which is available 

in the docket, provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are those entities that may receive an 

EDSP test order issued by the Agency. 

Under FFDCA section 408(p)(5)(A), EPA 

‘‘shall issue’’ EDSP test orders ‘‘to a 

registrant of a substance for which 

testing is required * * * or to a person 

who manufactures or imports a 

substance for which testing is required.’’ 

Using the North American Industrial 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 15, 2009 / Notices 17479 

Classification System (NAICS) codes, 

the Agency has determined that 

potential respondents to this ICR may 

include, but is not limited to: 

• Chemical manufacturing (NAICS 

code 325), e.g., persons who 

manufacture, import or process 

chemical substances. 

• Agricultural chemical 

manufacturing (NAICS code 3253), e.g., 

persons who manufacture, import or 

process pesticide, fertilizer and 

agricultural chemicals. 

• Scientific research and 

development services (NAICS code 

5417), e.g., persons who conduct testing 

of chemical substances for endocrine 

effects. 

Estimated Total Number of Potential 

Respondents: 390. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Average Number of 

Responses for Each Respondent: Two or 

three responses per chemical: An initial 

response, an interim study report, if 

applicable, and the final data 

submission. All respondents will 

provide an initial response. Some 

respondents may form a consortium to 

provide the data, in which case the 

consortium will also provide an initial 

response. Only those respondents that 

generate the data, either individually or 

through the consortium, will complete 

an interim study report and the final 

data submission. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 108,364 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$7,478,116. This includes an estimated 

annualized cost of $236 for non-burden 

hour or delivery costs. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: This is 

a new collection.
