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 five 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 average about 31.5 hours 

per response. 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are companies that manufacture, 

process or import chemical substances, 

mixtures or categories. 

Frequency of Collection: Once every 

five years. 

Estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 15.56. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 4,190. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 410,485 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$22,628,227. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: There 

is a decrease of 3,090 hours (from 

413,575 hours to 410,485 hours) in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that currently in the 

OMB inventory. This decrease reflects a 

regulatory change such that respondents 

(including importers) of inorganic 

chemicals must complete full reports, 

rather than partial reports as was the 

case in the past, when the site-specific 

production volume is 300,000 pounds 

or more. This increase is offset by a 

change in reporting requirements such 

that respondents must provide 

information once every five years versus 

once every four years previously. These 

changes are program changes. The 

burden decrease also reflects an increase 

of EPA’s current estimate of the number 

of sites that will respond to this 

collection of information, offset by a 

decrease in the estimated burden for 

rule familiarization. These changes are 

adjustments. The Supporting Statement 

provides additional detail concerning 

the changes in burden estimates.
