Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are those which 

have a threshold planning quantity of an 

extremely hazardous substance (EHS) 

listed in 40 CFR part 355, Appendix A 

and those which have a release of any 

of the EHS above a reportable quantity. 

Entities more likely to be affected by 

this action may include chemical 

manufacturers, non-chemical 

manufacturers, retailers, petroleum 

refineries, utilities, etc. 

Title: Emergency Planning and 

Release Notification Requirements 

(EPCRA sections 302, 303, and 304) 

Abstract: The authority for these 

requirements is sections 302, 303, and 

304 of the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11002, 11003, 

and 11004). EPCRA established broad 

emergency planning and facility 

reporting requirements. Section 302 

requires facilities to notify their state 

emergency response commission (SERC) 

that the facility is subject to emergency 

planning. This activity has been 

completed; this ICR covers only new 

facilities that are subject to this 

requirement. Section 303 requires the 

local emergency planning committees 

(LEPCs) to prepare emergency plans for 

facilities that are subject to section 302. 

This activity has been also completed; 

this ICR only covers any updates needed 

for these emergency response plans. 

Section 304 requires facilities to report 

to SERCs and LEPCs releases in excess 

of the reportable quantities listed for 

each extremely hazardous substance 

(EHS). This ICR also covers the 

notification and the written follow-up 

required under this section. 

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 in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. 

The EPA would like to solicit 

comments 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; 

53794 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 175 / Monday, September 12, 2005 / Notices 

(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. 

Burden Statement: The average 

reporting burden for emergency 

planning under 40 CFR 355.30 is 16.15 

hours for new facilities and 1.50 hours 

for existing facilities. For new facilities, 

this burden includes the time required 

to read and understand the regulations, 

to determine reporting status, notify the 

SERC that the facility is subject to 

emergency planning, designate a facility 

representative and otherwise participate 

in initial planning activities and provide 

information to the LEPC for planning 

purposes (11 hours). For a limited 

number of existing facilities, there may 

a burden to inform the LEPC of any 

changes at the facility that may affect 

emergency planning (1.50 hours). The 

average reporting burden for facilities 

reporting releases under 40 CFR 355.40 

is estimated to average approximately 5 

hours per release, including the time for 

determining if the release is a reportable 

quantity, notifying the LEPC and SERC, 

or the 911 operator, and developing and 

submitting a written follow-up notice. 

There are no recordkeeping 

requirements for facilities under EPCRA 

Sections 302–304. The total burden to 

facilities over three years is 264,560 

hours at a cost of $8.8 million. 

The average burden for emergency 

planning activities is 21 hours per plan 

for LEPCs, and 16 hours per plan for 

SERCs. Each SERC and LEPC is also 

estimated to incur an annual 

recordkeeping burden of 10 hours. The 

total burden to LEPC and SERC over 

three years is 372,820 hours at a cost of 

$9.5 million. 

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; 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.
