SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What Information is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

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

PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

1. 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. 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

4. 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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

II. What Should I Consider when I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns. 

6. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

7. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

III. What Information Collection 

Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply 

to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are companies 

that manufacture, process, or import 

chemical substances, mixtures, or 

categories. 

Title: Partial Update of the TSCA 

Section 8(b) Inventory Data Base, 

Production and Site Reports. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1884.04, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0162. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2009. 

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 title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, are displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: The Toxic Substances 

Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to 

compile and keep current a complete 

list of chemical substances 

manufactured or processed in the 

United States. EPA updates this 

inventory of chemicals every four years 

by requiring manufacturers, processors, 

and importers to provide production 

volume, plant site information and sitelimited status information. This 

information allows EPA to identify what 

chemicals are or are not currently in 

commerce and to take appropriate 

regulatory action as necessary. EPA also 

uses the information for screening 

chemicals for risks to human health or 

the environment, for priority-setting 

efforts, and for exposure estimates. This 

ICR addresses the collection of 

inventory-related information. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 710). Respondents may claim all or 

part of a notice confidential. EPA will 

disclose information that is covered by 

a claim of confidentiality only to the 

extent permitted by, and in accordance 

with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 

and 40 CFR part 2. 

Burden statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to be 485 hours per response. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 173 / Friday, September 5, 2008 / Notices 51807 

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 provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 4,190. 

Frequency of response: Once every 

five years. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.0. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

432,274 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$19,400,000. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $19,400,000 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates 

from the Last Approval? 

There is an increase of 18,699 hours 

(from 413,575 hours to 432,274 hours) 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR most recently approved by 

OMB. In the 2006 Inventory Update 

Rule (IUR) collection covered by the 

previous ICR, inorganic chemical were 

partially exempt and therefore, 

manufacturers (including importers) of 

inorganic chemicals completed only 

partial reports. However, in subsequent 

reporting periods, including the period 

covered by this ICR, manufacturers 

(including importers) of inorganic 

chemicals must complete full reports 

when the site-specific production 

volume is 300,000 pounds or more. Full 

reports are estimated to take an 

additional 85 hours to complete. This 

represents a program change. 

EPA used data reported to the 2006 

IUR collection to estimate numbers of 

respondents. Total sites reporting are 

estimated to be 4,190 for this collection. 

In the previous ICR, the number of sites 

responding was estimated to be 3,026 

sites. This re-estimate is another reason 

for the change in burden hours. This 

change is an adjustment. 

V. What is the Next Step in the Process 

for this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.
