27530 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 10, 2009 / Notices 

ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to 

expire on August 31, 2009. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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, 

and 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 National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Semiconductor 

Manufacturing were proposed on May 8, 

2002, (67 FR 30848), and promulgated 

on May 22, 2003, (68 FR 87925). These 

standards apply to each existing, new, 

or reconstructed effected source for 

those manufacturing semiconductors. 

Semiconductor manufacturing process 

units are used to manufacture p-type 

and n-type semiconductor and active 

solid-state devices from a water 

substrate, including research and 

development activities integrated into a 

semiconductor manufacturing process 

unit. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities would be required to submit 

one-time only notifications, compliance 

status report, and initial performance 

test results. Respondents are required to 

maintain records of the occurrence and 

duration of any startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction (SSM) in the operations of 

an affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. Semiannual summary 

reports are also required. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this subpart must maintain 

a file of these measurements and retain 

the file for at least five years following 

the collection of such measurements, 

maintenance reports, and records. All 

reports are sent to the delegated State or 

local authority. In the event that there 

is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. 

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 

Number for EPA regulations listed in 40 

CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15 are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 18 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose and 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. All existing 

ways will have to adjust to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements that 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Semiconductor manufacturing. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

initially, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

37. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $3,167: 

including $3,117 for Labor costs, $50 for 

operation and maintenance (O&M) costs 

and 0 for capital/startup costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years, and we are not 

anticipating any changes over the next 

three years; and (2) the current growth 

rate for the industry is very low, 

negative or nonexistent, so there is no 

significant change in the overall burden. 

This standard only regulates existing 

source, therefore, no new respondent 

will be subject to the regulation over the 

next three years. 

Since there are no changes in the 

regulatory requirements and there is no 

significant industry growth, the labor 

hours and cost figures in the previous 

ICR we used in this ICR, and there is no 

change in burden to industry.

Title: Health and Safety Data 

Reporting, Submission of Lists and 

Copies of Health and Safety Studies. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0575.12, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0004. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 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: Section 8(d) of the 

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

and 40 CFR part 716 require 

manufacturers and processors of 

chemicals to submit lists and copies of 

health and safety studies relating to the 

health and/or environmental effects of 

certain chemical substances and 

mixtures. In order to comply with the 

reporting requirements of section 8(d), 

respondents must search their records to 

identify any health and safety studies in 

their possession, copy and process 

relevant studies, list studies that are 

currently in progress, and submit this 

information to EPA. 

EPA uses this information to 

construct a complete picture of the 

known effects of the chemicals in 

question, leading to determinations by 

EPA of whether additional testing of the 

chemicals is required. The information 

enables EPA to base its testing decisions 

on the most complete information 

available and to avoid demands for 

testing that may be duplicative. EPA 

uses information obtained via this 

collection to support its investigation of 

the risks posed by chemicals and, in 

particular, to support its decisions on 

whether to require industry to test 

chemicals under section 4 of TSCA. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 716). 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 11 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, import or distribute in 

commerce chemical substances or 

mixtures. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated Average Number of 

Responses for Each Respondent: 1.2. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 34. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 456 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$28,030. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: There 

is a decrease of 13,891 hours (from 

14,347 hours to 456 hours) in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that currently in the OMB 

inventory. This decrease reflects the 

episodic nature of rulemakings that add 

chemicals to the TSCA section 8(d) list. 

EPA has added chemicals to the section 

8(d) list in only three of the last 13 

years, adding an average of 20 chemicals 

per year over that time period. The most 

recent ICR anticipated adding an 

unusually large number of chemicals to 

the 8(d) list, associated with the high 

production volume (HPV) chemical 

program. Because EPA does not 

anticipate adding such a large number 

of chemicals during the next three years, 

EPA has reduced the burden estimate 

for this ICR. It is now more consistent 

with the number of chemicals that EPA 

has historically added to the TSCA 

section 8(d) list. This change is an 

adjustment. The Supporting Statement 

provides additional detail concerning 

the changes in burden estimates.
