SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Significant New Alternatives

Policy (SNAP) Program Final

Rulemaking Under Title VI of the Clean

Air Act Amendments of 1990 (OMB

Control No. 2060–0226; EPA ICR No.

1596.05) expiring 7/31/00. This is a

request for extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: Information collected under

this rulemaking is necessary to

implement the requirements of the

Significant New Alternatives Policy

(SNAP)program for evaluating and

regulating substitutes for ozonedepleting chemicals being phased out

under the stratospheric ozone protection

provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

Under CAA section 612, EPA is

authorized to identify and restrict the

use of substitutes for class I and class II

ozone-depleting substances where EPA

determines other alternatives exist that

reduce overall risk to human health and

the environment. The SNAP program,

based on information collected from the

manufacturers, formulators, and/or

sellers of such substitutes, identifies

acceptable substitutes. Responses to the

collection of information are mandatory

under Section 612 for anyone who sells

or, in certain cases, uses substitutes for

an ozone-depleting substance after April

18, 1994, the effective date of the final

rule. Under CAA section 114(c),

emissions information may not be

claimed as confidential. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9

and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The Federal

Register document required under 5

CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on

this collection of information, was

published on January 26, 2000, at 65 FR

4243. No comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection is estimated to average 30

hours per response. Burden means the

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; 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.

and processors of substitutes for ozonedepleting substances.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

330.
