Abstract: Pursuant to section 313 of 

the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), 42 U.S.C. 11001 et seq., 

certain facilities that manufacture, 

process, or otherwise use specified toxic 

chemicals in amounts above reporting 

threshold levels as provided in 40 CFR 

372.25 must submit annually to EPA 

reporting forms to the Toxics Release 

Inventory (TRI). The revisions to this 

ICR covers the information collection 

activities associated with the 

submission of information to TRI 

pursuant to EPCRA section 313(b)(2), 42 

U.S.C. 11023. Under EPCRA section 

313(b)(2), the EPA Administrator has 

the authority to extend TRI reporting 

requirements to specific facilities that 

manufacture, process, or otherwise use 

a TRI-listed toxic chemical, but who are 

not currently covered by TRI reporting 

requirements as described at 40 CFR 

372. The Administrator may determine 

a specific facility warrants TRI reporting 

on the basis of a chemical’s toxicity, the 

facility’s proximity to other facilities 

that release the chemical or to 

population centers, the facility’s history 

of releases of the chemical, or other 

factors that the Administrator deems 

appropriate. This ICR revision includes 

discussion of EPA’s discretionary 

authority under EPCRA section 

313(b)(2) and outreach to potential 

stakeholders. 

Form Numbers: 9350–1 and 9350–2. 

Respondents/affected entities: The 

facility has 10 or more full-time 

employee equivalents; the facility is 

included in a NAICS Code listed at 40 

CFR 372.23 or under E.O. 13148, 

Federal facilities regardless of their 

industry classification; and the facility 

manufactures (defined to include 

importing), processes, or otherwise uses 

any EPCRA section 313 (TRI) chemical 

in quantities greater than the established 

thresholds for the specific chemical in 

the course of a calendar year. EPA may 

also exercise its discretionary authority 

under EPCRA section 313(b)(2) to 

extend TRI reporting obligations to a 

facility. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory, 40 CFR 372 and EPCRA 

section 313. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

76,579 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 3,616,827 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $257,011,726 

(per year), includes no annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase of 1700 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. The additional hours are a result 

of an increase in 3 burden hours per 

facility in non-reporting burden. This 

increase also reflects the review of the 

notification and preparation of 

responses stakeholders may engage in 

upon receipt of the Agency’s 

notification of its potential application 

of the discretionary authority under 

EPCRA section 313(b)(2) to specific 

facilities. This increase is categorized as 

a program change. Additionally, in 

December 2021, the EPA Administrator 

determined that 29 facilities warrant the 

extension of TRI reporting requirements 

under the authority in EPCRA section 

313(b)(2) for specific chemicals; the 

updated burden estimates reflect 

potential reporting from these facilities.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9641–01–OMS] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Office of Land and Emergency 

Management (OLEM), Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA), Office of 

Land and Emergency Management 

(OLEM), Office of Superfund 

Remediation and Technology 

Information (OSRTI), is giving notice 

that it proposes to modify a system of 

records pursuant to the provisions of the 

Privacy Act of 1974. Superfund 

Enterprise Management System (SEMS) 

is being modified to expand the 

categories of records that may be housed 

in SEMS and the categories of 

individuals who may be covered by the 

system. Additionally, EPA is modifying 

SEMS to add General Routine Uses B, D, 

and M, modify General Routine Use L, 

and add three Specific Routine Uses. 

The new Specific Routine Uses are 

related to disclosure of records to 

protect the environment or public 

health or safety, including carrying out 

an investigation or response; to share 

information with the public in cases of 

emergency to protect the environment 

or public health and safety; and to 

respond to other external requests for 

information to support programmatic 

functions. This system of records is an 

electronic repository of Superfund 

documents routinely used to house and 

organize data and information regarding 

Superfund sites. Records contained in 

SEMS are used in support of 

programmatic functions including 

investigation; cleanup; program 

planning; community outreach; 

coordination with state, local and tribal 

entities; listing and de-listing of 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2022 / Notices 36125 

Superfund sites; enforcement activities; 

and litigation. Information related to 

Superfund sites may be gathered under 

other statutory authorities because 

SEMS is an accessible repository for 

selected non-Superfund sites as well. 

Privacy is maintained by limiting access 

to the database containing confidential 

business and personal information. All 

exemptions and provisions included in 

the previously published System of 

Records Notice (SORN) for SEMS will 

transfer to the modified SORN for 

SEMS. 

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on 

this system of records notice must do so 

by July 15, 2022. New or Modified 

routine uses for this modified system of 

records will be effective July 15, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA 

created a Privacy Act system of records 

to allow the Agency to maintain and 

readily access records to provide project 

and program managers the ability to 

plan, manage, track, and report on 

clean-up and enforcement activities 

taking place at Superfund sites. The 

SEMS database application supports the 

electronic capture, imaging, indexing, 

and tracking of records which document 

investigation, cleanup, and enforcement 

activities at potential and existing 

hazardous waste sites. The electronic 

repository of documents is routinely 

used in a variety of ways, including 

research, enforcement, litigation 

support, responses to congressional and 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 

requests, public participation in the 

Superfund process, electronic archiving, 

cost recovery, disaster recovery, and 

support of the program and Agency 

missions. This notification confirms that 

the SEMS database may now also be 

used to house and manage documents 

developed by non-Superfund EPA 

program offices, including those 

conducting investigatory and 

enforcement activities under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the 

Clean Air Act, and the Federal Water 

Pollution Control Act. 

Records protected under the Privacy 

Act are subject to Agency-wide security 

requirements governing all database 

systems at EPA. Privacy is maintained 

by limiting access to the database 

containing confidential business and 

personal information. Access to the 

database has been limited to individuals 

designated as system Administrators, 

Remedial Project Managers (RPMs), Data 

Sponsors, On-Scene Coordinators 

(OSCs), Information Management 

Coordinators (IMCs), Budget 

Coordinators (BCs), Regional Attorneys, 

Regional Managers, Data Entry Support 

Staff, Support Contractors, and any 

other staff with assigned data 

management responsibilities. This 

notification confirms that access to 

utilize and access the documents in the 

SEMS database may now be expanded 

to also include individuals holding 

comparable positions (including 

enforcement program staff) in EPA 

offices conducting investigatory and 

enforcement activities under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the 

Clean Air Act, and the Federal Water 

Pollution Control Act. This notification 

further clarifies and specifies categories 

of records that may be present in the 

SEMS database. 

EPA is adding General Routine Use B 

related to the disclosure of information 

to sources from which additional 

information is requested and a General 

Routine Use D related to disclosure of 

information to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). 

Additionally, EPA is modifying General 

Routine Use L and adding General 

Routine Use M regarding response to a 

suspected or confirmed breach of 

personally identifiable information. EPA 

is also modifying SEMS to add three 

Specific Routine Uses that may include 

disclosure to appropriate Federal, state, 

local, and tribal authorities in 

conformity with Federal, state, local, 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
36126 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2022 / Notices 

and tribal laws when necessary to 

protect the environment or public 

health or safety, including effectively 

carrying out an investigation or 

response. Information sharing 

agreements may be used as a 

mechanism to define appropriate 

limitations on use and disclosure of 

Privacy Act information by state, tribal, 

and local officials. Information may also 

be shared with state agencies and with 

the public as part of their participation 

in the Superfund evaluation and 

decision-making process. This may 

include public disclosure of addresses 

where EPA determines cleanup actions 

are required. In cases of emergency, EPA 

may share information with members of 

the public to assure protection of the 

environment or public health and 

safety. Records may be disseminated in 

response to other external requests, and 

in support of investigation; cleanup; 

program planning; community outreach; 

coordination with state, local and tribal 

entities; listing and de-listing of 

Superfund sites; enforcement activities; 

and litigation. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The purpose of SEMS is to provide 

project and program managers with data 

and information needed to plan, 

manage, track and report on 

investigation, cleanup, and enforcement 

activities taking place at Superfund 

sites. SEMS is an electronic repository 

of documents and data used to 

disseminate records in response to FOIA 

and other external requests, and in 

support of litigation; investigation; 

cleanup; program planning; community 

outreach; coordination with state, local 

and tribal entities; listing and de-listing 

of Superfund sites; and enforcement 

activities. SEMS tracks activities at each 

Superfund site which include 

assessment; removal; contamination and 

risk characterization; remedy selection 

and implementation; post construction 

operation and maintenance; 

enforcement activities; financial 

resources; and community involvement. 

SEMS may also be used to track 

activities at non-Superfund sites in the 

system which may include 

investigation, risk characterization, and 

enforcement and negotiation activities. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY

SYSTEM: 

This system covers potentially 

responsible parties (PRP), EPA 

employees with responsibilities at 

specific Superfund sites, members of the 

public who have made public comments 

on program decisions or who have 

environmental sampling results 

reported for their personal business or 

residence, and contractor and analytical 

laboratory staff with responsibilities on 

specific Superfund sites. This system 

also covers businesses and individuals 

subject to EPA regulatory or 

enforcement authority under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the 

Clean Air Act, and the Federal Water 

Pollution Control Act; EPA employees 

with responsibilities under those 

statutes; members of the public who 

have made public comments on 

program decisions or who have 

environmental sampling results 

reported for their personal business or 

residence; and contractor and analytical 

laboratory staff with responsibilities on 

specific regulatory or enforcement 

matters. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Site location and basic descriptive 

information; contact information (e.g., 

name, address, telephone number, email 

address) for key individuals with 

information and responsibilities on 

specific sites; data generated and 

obtained by EPA regarding site 

information and actions conducted at 

the site; information on buildings and 

other structures; planned and actual site 

financial and enforcement information; 

information on potentially responsible 

parties (PRP) or regulated entities; 

negotiation data; litigation/referral data; 

lien data; alternative dispute resolution 

data; litigation history; correspondence 

tracking; transcribed voice messages; 

property access information; land use 

restrictions; community involvement 

data (i.e., location, contact data, 

technical assistance grant data); and 

medical and public health information 

pertaining to environmental sampling 

results or public complaints. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

Information placed and maintained in 

SEMS is derived from, among other 

sources, existing programmatic records, 

EPA employees, contractors, grantees, 

civil investigators and attorneys, 

analytical laboratories, private entities, 

the public, state and local cleanup 

programs and officials, and public 

records. 

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

The routine uses below are both 

related to and compatible with the 

original purpose for which the 

information was collected. The 

following general routine uses apply to 

this system (86 FR 62527, November 10, 

2021): A, B, D, E, F, G, H, K, L, and M. 

Additional routine uses that apply to 

this system are: 

1. Records may be disclosed to 

Federal, state, local, and tribal 

authorities in conformity with Federal, 

state, local, and tribal laws when 

necessary to protect the environment or 

public health or safety, including 

carrying out an investigation or 

response. Personal medical records will 

not be shared. Information sharing 

agreements may be used as a 

mechanism to define appropriate 

limitations on use and disclosure of 

Privacy Act information by state, tribal, 

and local officials. Relevant Federal, 

state, tribal, and local laws may also 

provide assurance that the information 

will be kept confidential. Information 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2022 / Notices 36127 

may also be shared with state agencies 

and with the public as part of their 

participation in the Superfund 

evaluation and decision-making 

process. This may include public 

disclosure of addresses where EPA 

determines cleanup actions are 

required. 

2. In case of emergency, EPA may 

share information with members of the 

public to assure protection of the 

environment or public health and 

safety. 

3. Records may be shared with 

external parties in support of 

investigation; cleanup; program 

planning; community outreach; 

coordination with state, local and tribal 

entities; listing and de-listing of 

Superfund sites; enforcement activities; 

and litigation. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

Records will be stored electronically 

in an Agency-approved database 

(Oracle) and managed by system 

developers and administrators, along 

with EPA Office of Superfund 

Remediation and Technology 

Information (OSRTI) personnel. 

Incremental system backups are 

performed nightly and monthly. Actual 

files are stored in a Windows file server. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

Records can be retrieved by Site 

Name, Site ID Number, Author, 

Addressee, Document Title, Document 

Date, and Document ID Number. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Records maintained in this system are 

subject to record schedule 0755, which 

is still being finalized. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Security controls used to protect 

personal sensitive data in SEMS are 

commensurate with those required for 

an information system rated 

MODERATE for confidentiality, 

integrity, and availability, as prescribed 

in National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) Special Publication, 

800–53, ‘‘Security and Privacy Controls 

for Federal Information Systems and 

Organizations,’’ Revision 5. 

1. Administrative Safeguards: The 

system has a single point of access via 

a front-end Portal. All users are required 

to complete a new user form (signed by 

their supervisor) and take online 

security training before they are 

provided with access. All authorized 

users of the SEMS application are 

required to take an annual security and 

privacy awareness training identifying 

the user’s role and responsibilities for 

protecting the Agency’s information 

resources, as well as consequences for 

not adhering to the policy. 

2. Technical Safeguards: Information 

is maintained in a secure username/ 

password protected environment. 

Permission-level assignments allow 

users access only to those functions for 

which they are authorized. Audit logs 

are reviewed on a monthly basis to 

identify system access outside of normal 

business hours, anomalous user 

accounts or server names, or login 

failures. No external access to SEMS is 

provided. 

3. Physical Safeguards: Access to all 

information and hardware is maintained 

in a secure, access-controlled facility at 

the NCC. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

All requests for access to personal 

records should cite the Privacy Act of 

1974 and reference the type of request 

being made (i.e., access). Requests must 

include: (1) the name and signature of 

the individual making the request; (2) 

the name of the Privacy Act system of 

records to which the request relates; (3) 

a statement whether a personal 

inspection of the records or a copy of 

them by mail is desired; and (4) proof 

of identity. A full description of EPA’s 

Privacy Act procedures for requesting 

access to records is included in EPA’s 

Privacy Act regulations at 40 CFR part 

16.
