Title: Voluntary Children’s Chemical 

Evaluation Program (VCCEP). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2055.03, 

OMB Control No. 2070–0165. 

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: VCCEP is a voluntary 

program intended to provide data to 

enable the public to understand the 

potential health risks to children 

associated with certain chemical 

exposures. EPA has asked companies 

that manufacture and/or import 20 

chemicals that have been found in 

human tissues and the environment to 

volunteer to sponsor their evaluation in 

VCCEP. VCCEP consists of three tiers 

that a sponsor may commit to 

separately. As part of their sponsorship, 

companies submit commitment letters, 

collect and/or develop health effects 

and exposure information on their 

chemical(s), integrate that information 

in a risk assessment, and develop a 

‘‘Data Needs Assessment.’’ The Data 

Needs Assessment discusses the need 

for additional data, which could be 

provided by the next tier, to fully 

characterize the risks the chemical may 

pose to children. 

The information submitted by the 

sponsor will be evaluated by a group of 

scientific experts with extensive, 

relevant experience in toxicity testing 

and exposure evaluations, a Peer 

Consultation Group. This Group will 

forward its opinions to EPA and the 

sponsor(s) concerning the adequacy of 

the assessments and the need for 

development of any additional 

information to fully assess risks to 

children. EPA will consider the 

opinions of the Peer Consultation and 

announce whether additional higher tier 

information is needed. Sponsors and the 

public will have an opportunity to 

comment on EPA’s decision concerning 

data needs. EPA will consider these 

comments and issue a final decision. If 

the final decision is that additional 

information is needed, sponsors will be 

asked to volunteer to provide the next 

tier of information. If additional 

information is not needed, the risk 

communication and, if necessary, risk 

management phases of the program will 

be initiated. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are voluntary. 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 549 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 ICR 

are manufacturers or importers of 

certain chemicals who have volunteered 

to sponsor chemicals in the VCCEP. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated average number of 

responses for each respondent: 6.4. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 32. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 112,456 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$10,904,472. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: There 

is an increase of 6,200 hours (from 

106,256 hours to 112,456 hours) in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that currently in the 

OMB inventory. This change is an 

adjustment and is related to a projected 

increase to the estimated number of 

responses. The Supporting Statement 

provides additional detail concerning 

the changes in burden estimates.

Comments 

Availability of EPA comments 

prepared pursuant to the Environmental 

Review Process (ERP), under section 

309 of the Clean Air Act and Section

An explanation of the ratings assigned 

to draft environmental impact 

statements (EISs) as follows: 

Summary of Rating Definitions 

Environmental Impact of the Action 

LO—Lack of Objections 

The EPA review has not identified 

any potential environmental impacts 

requiring substantive changes to the 

proposal. The review may have 

disclosed opportunities for application 

of mitigation measures that could be 

accomplished with no more than minor 

changes to the proposal. 

EC—Environmental Concerns 

The EPA review has identified 

environmental impacts that should be 

avoided in order to fully protect the 

environment. Corrective measures may 

require changes to the preferred 

alternative or application of mitigation 

measures that can reduce the 

environmental impact. EPA would like 

to work with the lead agency to reduce 

these impacts. 

EO—Environmental Objections 

The EPA review has identified 

significant environmental impacts that 

should be avoided in order to provide 

adequate protection for the 

environment. Corrective measures may 

require substantial changes to the 

preferred alternative or consideration of 

some other project alternative 

(including the no action alternative or a 

new alternative). EPA intends to work 

with the lead agency to reduce these 

impacts. 

EU—Environmentally Unsatisfactory 

The EPA review has identified 

adverse environmental impacts that are 

of sufficient magnitude that they are 

unsatisfactory from the standpoint of 

public health or welfare or 

environmental quality. EPA intends to 

work with the lead agency to reduce 

these impacts. If the potentially 

unsatisfactory impacts are not corrected 

at the final EIS stage, this proposal will 

be recommended for referral to the CEQ. 

Adequacy of the Impact Statement 

Category 1—Adequate 

EPA believes the draft EIS adequately 

sets forth the environmental impact(s) of 

the preferred alternative and those of 

the alternatives reasonably available to 

the project or action. No further analysis 

or data collection is necessary, but the 

reviewer may suggest the addition of 

clarifying language or information. 

Category 2—Insufficient Information 

The draft EIS does not contain 

sufficient information for EPA to fully 

assess environmental impacts that 

should be avoided in order to fully 

protect the environment, or the EPA 

reviewer has identified new reasonably 

available alternatives that is within the 

spectrum of alternatives analyzed in the 

draft EIS, which could reduce the 

environmental impacts of the action.
