39830 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 127 / Tuesday, July 5, 2022 / Notices 

B. What are the draft revisions? 

EPA is releasing a draft revision of the 

risk determination for the methylene 

chloride risk evaluation pursuant to 

TSCA section 6(b). Under the draft 

revised determination, EPA 

preliminarily concludes that methylene 

chloride, as evaluated in the risk 

evaluation as a whole, presents an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health 

under its conditions of use. This 

revision would replace the previous 

unreasonable risk determinations made 

for methylene chloride by individual 

conditions of use, supersede the 

determinations (and withdraw the 

associated order) of no unreasonable 

risk for the conditions of use identified 

in the TSCA section 6(i)(1) no 

unreasonable risk order, and clarify the 

lack of reliance on assumed use of PPE 

as part of the risk determination. 

These draft revisions do not alter any 

of the underlying technical or scientific 

information that informs the risk 

characterization, and as such the 

hazard, exposure, and risk 

characterization sections are not 

changed except to the extent that 

statements about PPE assumptions in 

section 2.4.1.1 (Consideration of 

Engineering Controls and PPE) of the 

methylene chloride risk evaluation 

would be superseded. The discussion of 

the issues in this notice and in the 

accompanying draft revision to the risk 

determination would supersede any 

conflicting statements in the prior 

executive summary and section 2.4.1.1 

from the methylene chloride risk 

evaluation and the response to 

comments document (Refs. 2 and 10). 

Additional policy changes to other 

chemical risk evaluations, including any 

consideration of potentially exposed or 

susceptible subpopulations and/or 

inclusion of additional exposure 

pathways, are not necessarily reflected 

in these draft revisions to the risk 

determination. 

C. Will the draft revised risk 

determination be peer reviewed? 

The risk determination (section 5 in 

the June 2020 risk evaluation) was not 

part of the scope of the peer reviews of 

the methylene chloride risk evaluation 

by the Science Advisory Committee on 

Chemicals (SACC). Thus, consistent 

with that approach, EPA does not 

intend to conduct peer review for the 

draft revised unreasonable risk 

determination of the methylene chloride 

risk evaluation because no technical or 

scientific changes will be made to the 

hazard or exposure assessments or the 

risk characterization. 

D. What are the next steps for finalizing 

revisions to the risk determination? 

EPA will review and consider public 

comment received on the draft revised 

risk determination for the methylene 

chloride risk evaluation and, after 

considering those public comments, 

issue the revised final methylene 

chloride risk determination. If finalized 

as drafted, EPA would also issue a new 

order to withdraw the TSCA section 

6(i)(1) no unreasonable risk order issued 

in Section 5.4.1 of the 2020 methylene 

chloride risk evaluation. This final 

revised risk determination would 

supersede the June 2020 risk 

determinations of no unreasonable risk. 

Consistent with the statutory 

requirements of TSCA section 6(a), the 

Agency would then propose risk 

management actions to address the 

unreasonable risk determined in the 

methylene chloride risk evaluation.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, the EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. The EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, the 

EPA will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: In order to effectively 

implement and enforce final changes to 

40 CFR part 257—Subpart B on a State 

level, owners/operators of construction 

and demolition waste landfills that 

receive CESQG hazardous wastes will 

have to comply with the final reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements. This 

continuing ICR documents the 

recordkeeping and reporting burdens 

associated with the location and 

ground-water monitoring provisions 

contained in 40 CFR part 257—Subpart 

B. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

the private sector, as well as State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under Section 4010© and 

3001(d)(4) of the Resource Conservation 

and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

152. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 11, 219 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
