Short
Characterization
This
information
collection
request
requires
OMB's
approval
for
the
continued
collection
of
chemical­
specific
information
under
section
8(
a)
of
the
Toxic
Substance
Control
Act
(
TSCA).
TSCA
section
8(
a)
authorizes
the
Administrator
of
the
EPA
to
promulgate
rules
that
require
persons
who
manufacture,
import
or
process
chemical
substances
and
mixtures,
or
who
propose
to
manufacture,
import,
or
process
chemical
substances
and
mixtures,
to
maintain
such
records
and
submit
such
reports
to
EPA
as
may
be
reasonably
required.
Information
that
may
be
collected
under
TSCA
section
8(
a)
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to,
chemical
names,
categories
of
use,
production
volume,
byproducts
of
chemical
production,
existing
data
on
deaths
and
environmental
effects,
exposure
data,
and
disposal
information.
These
data
are
collected
by
the
Office
of
Pollution
Prevention
and
Toxics
(
OPPT)
and
may
be
used
by
other
EPA
offices
and/
or
Federal
agencies
to
ensure
knowledge
of
specific
practices
that
may
affect
human
health
and
the
environment.

There
may
be
circumstances
when
EPA
may
require
different
information
than
is
readily
available
or
information
that
is
different
from
that
available
through
existing
regulatory
information
collection
tools,
like
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
Preliminary
Assessment
Information
Rule
(
PAIR)
which
is
discussed
in
another
ICR
under
a
different
OMB
control
number.
EPA
promulgated
PAIR
on
June
22,
1982
(
see
40
CFR
Part
712).
Whenever
a
substance
is
added
to
the
PAIR,
manufacturers
and
importers
of
the
substance
are
required
to
complete
a
PAIR
report
form.
The
PAIR
report
requests
a
very
limited
amount
of
information
on
listed
chemicals
regarding
activities
occurring
over
a
specific
time
period.

Any
chemical
covered
by
TSCA
for
which
OPPT,
other
EPA
Offices
or
another
Federal
agency
has
a
reasonable
need
for
information,
and
which
cannot
be
satisfied
via
readily
available
sources
or
by
use
of
PAIR,
is
a
proper
potential
subject
for
a
chemical­
specific
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rulemaking.
For
instance
EPA
may
wish
to
ask
detailed
questions
in
regard
to
how
industry
oversees
the
use
and
production
of
a
chemical.
These
specific
monitoring
capabilities
could
allow
EPA
to
react
to
change
in
market
conditions
that
may
warrant
a
change
in
EPA's
regulatory
strategy.
Therefore,
EPA
could
promulgate
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rule
to
gather
this
information
by
requesting
that
current
or
potential
manufacturers,
importers
or
processors
of
the
substance
provide
chemicalspecific
information.
­
2­
EPA's
OPPT,
other
EPA
Offices
and/
or
other
Federal
agencies
will
generally
be
the
primary
groups
for
which
information
will
be
collected.
However,
to
the
extent
that
reported
information
is
not
considered
to
be
confidential
business
information
(
CBI),
environmental
groups,
environmental
justice
advocates,
state
and
local
government
entities
and
other
members
of
the
public
will
have
access
to
this
information
for
their
own
use.

Rather
than
requiring
respondents
to
submit
information
on
reporting
forms
such
as
those
used
for
PAIR,
EPA
has
in
the
past
allowed
individual
firms
to
choose
the
reporting
means
and
format
that
is
best
suited
to
their
recordkeeping
resources.
EPA
believes
that
for
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rules,
this
allowance
keeps
reporting
costs
low.

Total
annual
cost
of
a
rule
varies
depending
upon
the
number
of
chemicals
per
rule
and
the
number
of
respondents
per
chemical.
Based
on
the
recent
past
usage
of
chemical­
specific
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rules
and
expected
future
usage,
EPA
assumes
that
it
will
promulgate
one
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule
with
four
respondents
(
notices)
per
year
for
the
three­
year
duration
of
the
ICR
(
see
Section
6(
b),
below).
The
maximum
total
annual
number
of
burden
hours
for
respondents
range
from
134
hours
to
594
hours
per
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule.
The
maximum
cost
associated
with
the
promulgation
of
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule
is
$
5,729
to
$
25,288.
However,
the
cost
per
respondent
varies
with
the
type
of
chemical­
specific
information
requested,
and
subsequently,
the
tasks
required
to
comply
with
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule.
Because
all
respondents
may
not
have
to
provide
information
on
all
data
items
listed
(
see
Sections
3
and
6(
b),
below),
the
ranges
presented
above
are
maximums.
Assuming
that
all
respondents
do
not
have
to
complete
all
tasks
identified
to
comply
with
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule,
total
annual
reporting
costs
to
all
respondents
range
from
$
2,822
to
$
11,702
per
rule.

2.
NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
Generally,
EPA
may
need
chemical­
specific
information
under
TSCA
section
8(
a)
to
evaluate
the
potential
for
adverse
human
health
and
environmental
effects
caused
by
the
manufacture,
importation,
processing,
use
or
disposal
of
identified
chemical
substances
and
mixtures.
Additionally,
EPA
may
use
TSCA
section
8(
a)
information
to
assess
the
need
or
set
priorities
for
testing
and/
or
further
regulatory
action.

The
information
required
in
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rules
can
be
custom­
tailored
to
aid
in
achieving
EPA's
goals
of
protecting
human
health
and
the
environment.
Information
collected
may
vary
depending
on
the
substance,
its
current
and
potential
uses
and
EPA's
concerns
about
potential
human
or
environmental
risks
caused
by
exposures
to
the
substance.
Promulgated
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rules
may
require
persons
manufacturing,
importing
or
processing
the
chemical
substance
to
report
to
EPA
on
specific
information
such
as:
a
chemical's
composition,
byproducts,
quantity
produced,
employee
exposure
and
environmental
release.
Persons
have
in
the
past
also
been
required
to
notify
EPA
of
a
management
decision
to
initiate
the
manufacturing,
importing,
or
processing
of
a
chemical
substance
or
mixture.
­

The
legal
authority
for
this
information
collection
is
TSCA
section
8(
a),
U.
S.
C.
2607(
a).
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rules
have
been
codified
at
40
CFR
704,
subpart
B.

2(
b)
Use/
Users
of
the
Data
EPA
will
use
the
information
obtained
through
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
reporting
rules
to
satisfy
specifically
identified
data
needs.
The
information
collected
will
be
relevant
to
risk
identification,
all
stages
of
risk
assessment,
and/
or
control
action
functions.
Receipt
of
TSCA
section
8(
a)
information
may
also
give
the
Agency
an
opportunity
to
work
with
the
respondent,
if
necessary,
to
minimize
exposure
risks
associated
with
specific
uses.
Generally,
a
specific
information
collection
request
would
be
made
by
the
Chemical
Control
Division,
Chemical
Management
Division,
or
the
Chemical
Screening
and
Risk
Assessment
Division
in
OPPT.
However,
other
regulatory
agencies
and
departments,
such
as
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
Administration
(
OSHA),
the
Food
and
Drug
Administration
(
FDA),
and
other
members
of
the
Interagency
Testing
Committee
(
ITC)
may
also
present
a
need
for
and
subsequently
use
TSCA
section
8(
a)
data
to,
for
example,
assess
worker
or
consumer
exposures.

An
example
of
a
use
of
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule
that
was
key
in
affecting
a
benefit
to
human
health
was
1,1­
aminoundecanoic
acid
(
1,1­
AA).
From
submitted
TSCA
section
8(
e)
"
substantial
risk"
reports,
EPA
discovered
that
1,1­
AA
is
a
carcinogen
in
one
sex
of
one
rodent
species
(
male
rat),
and
that
exposure
is
limited
to
workers
producing
the
nylon
in
which
the
chemical
is
an
ingredient.
The
manufacturer
was
contacted
to
obtain
exposure
data
for
this
chemical.
From
this
contact
EPA
learned:
(
1)
1,1­
AA
was
imported
and
converted
into
nylon
by
one
company
and
there
was
no
domestic
manufacture;
(
2)
1,1­
AA
was
handled
and
transferred
in
a
closed
system
and
all
1,1­
AA
was
converted
during
the
reaction
to
produce
nylon.
Consequently,
because
of
limited
exposure
potential,
1,1­
AA
was
dropped
from
further
review.
However,
concern
would
arise
if
1,1­
AA
were
to
be
manufactured
domestically
because
of
the
greater
likelihood
for
worker
exposure.
To
alert
EPA
to
domestic
manufacture,
on
May
28,
1987,
OPPT
promulgated
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)/
5
(
SNUR)
rule
for
1,1­
AA
(
52
FR
19860)
.
Users
of
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
data
rarely
make
a
judgment
based
solely
on
the
content
of
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
information
received
but
rather
use
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
information
as
part
of
the
larger
risk
management
strategy.
1,1­
AA
TSCA
section
8(
a)
information
would
be
instrumental
in
affecting
a
benefit
to
human
health
if
a
company
were
to
begin
to
manufacture
the
substance.

3.
NON­
DUPLICATION,
CONSULTATION,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Non­
Duplication
Section
8(
a)(
2)
of
TSCA
states,
"
To
the
extent
feasible,
the
Administrator
shall
not
require
any
reporting
which
is
unnecessary
or
duplicative."
The
reporting
requirements
of
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rules
only
require
information
that
EPA
believes
will
assist
in
a
reasoned
evaluation
of
the
human
health
and
environmental
effects
of
chemical
substances
and
mixtures.
This
information
is
unlikely
to
be
duplicative
since,
(
1)
EPA
estimates
that
each
rule
will
generate
only
a
few
notices,
(
2)
the
information
required
by
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rule
is
unique
to
the
manufacturer,
importer
or
processor
(
e.
g.,
the
proposed
date
of
production
or
importation,
the
amount
produced
or
imported,
­
4­
the
chemical
composition,
and
uses
of
the
chemical
substance
or
mixture),
and
(
3)
EPA
thoroughly
checks
other
public
and
unpublished
sources
to
see
if
the
required
data
may
already
be
available.
Finally,
once
EPA
became
aware
of
a
source
of
substantially
similar
information,
for
example
via
comments
on
a
proposed
rule,
EPA
would
not
continue
with
the
information
collection.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
In
proposing
to
renew
this
ICR,
EPA
provided
a
60­
day
public
notice
and
comment
period
that
ended
on
February
13,
2004
(
68
FR
69680,
December
15,
2003
).
EPA
received
no
comments
during
the
comment
period.

3(
c)
Consultations
EPA
has
not
published
a
proposed
or
final
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
information
gathering
rule
for
more
than
fifteen
years
and,
therefore,
has
received
no
comments
since
that
time.
EPA
has
received
comments
on
the
use
of
TSCA
section
8(
a)
reporting
rules
through
published
Federal
Register
notices.
Various
organizations
responded
to
EPA's
request
for
comments
during
the
1985
to
1988
ICR
period.
For
example,
the
Agency
originally
proposed
a
SNUR
for
4,4,1­
methylenebis
(
2­
chloroaniline)
(
MBOCA)
but
public
comments
received
in
July
and
August
of
1986
on
the
proposed
SNUR
suggested
that
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rule
would
be
more
appropriate.
This
suggestion
was
followed,
reducing
the
burden
on
the
public
since
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rule
exempted
small
manufacturers,
whereas
the
proposed
SNUR
would
not
have
had
this
exemption.

Also,
after
receiving
public
comment
on
the
proposed
SNUR/
8(
a)
rule
for
1,1­
aminoundecanoic
acid
(
July
22,
1986),
the
proposed
definition
of
the
term
"
enclosed
process"
was
modified
to
account
for
possible
releases
through
emergency
pressure
relief,
thus
expanding
the
number
of
processes
that
would
be
considered
"
enclosed"
and
lessening
compliance
costs.

The
Natural
Resources
Defense
Council
(
NRDC)
has
also
responded
to
several
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rules.
The
NRDC
is
a
national
nonprofit
environmental
organization
dedicated
to
the
protection
of
human
health
and
the
environment.
The
NRDC
generally
urges
EPA
to
adopt
a
more
extensive,
detailed
set
of
information
requirements.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Generally
companies
are
required
to
report
only
once
under
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
reporting
rule.
EPA
may
consider
requiring
reporting
on
an
annual,
semiannual,
monthly
or
other
basis
if
the
Administrator
deems
this
necessary
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment.
EPA
tailors
each
rule
to
meet
chemical­
specific
data
requirements,
thus
reducing
the
potential
for
too
frequent
data
collections.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
This
information
collection
activity
is
necessary
to
implement
the
statutory
requirements
of
section
8(

Confidentiality
Submitters
may
designate
information
as
confidential,
trade
secret
or
proprietary.
EPA
has
implemented
procedures
to
protect
any
confidential,
trade
secret
or
proprietary
information
from
disclosure.
These
procedure
comply
with
EPA's
confidentiality
regulation,
40

i)
Data
Items
Section
8(
a)
of
TSCA
specifically
lists
a
wide
range
of
data
items
that
may
be
required
by
EPA,
including
information
on
use,
production
volume,
exposure,
and
health
and
safety.
Data
items
requested
of
manufacturers,
importers,
or
processors
of
certain
chemicals
vary
with
each
collection
request,
but
will
not
repeat
information
previously
requested
in
the
PAIR
or
other
information
gathering
tools.
Some
data
items
requested
under
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rules
in
the
past
include:
notification
and
description
of
changes
in
the
end
use
of
identified
substances
and
mixtures,
information
on
planned
manufacturing
and
on­
site
processing,
and
notification
of
changes
to
the
method
of
manufacturing
the
substance
(
see
40

required
persons
who
propose
to
manufacture
MBOCA
to
notify
EPA
of
that
intent
and
to
submit
information
on
their
planned
manufacturing
and
on­
site
processing
activities.
The
rule
also
required
persons
who
are
manufacturing
MBOCA
to
notify
the
Agency
if
they
propose
to
alter
their
manner
or

Recordkeeping
Estimate
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rules
may
contain
recordkeeping
requirements.
The
recordkeeping
estimate
is
rough,
but
it
is
reasonably
related
to
the
maximum
reporting
burden.
EPA
estimates
that
recordkeeping
will
account
for
approximately
five
percent
of
the
reporting
burden,
or
a
maximum
of
12
hours
(
see
Table

For

the

An
improved
information
technology
to
minimize
burden
of
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemicalspecific
rule
has
not
been
found.
EPA
has
not
been
able
to
identify
a
more
efficient,
less
expensive,
or
more
flexible
means
of
obtaining
the
required
data
than
the
one
currently
being
used.
To
the
extent
data
are
not
CBI,
all
information
collected
is
made
available
to
the
public
through
the
public
docket
office.
At
the
present
time,
EPA
is
not
requiring
firms
to
submit
this
information
on
one
standard
reporting
form.
Reporting
facilities
will
be
able
to
choose
the
format
that
best
suits
their
reporting
resources.
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rules
typically
require
one­
time
reporting.
As
future
data
needs
arise,
EPA
will
consider
the
use
of
electronic
or
other
types
of
reporting
methods.
EPA
believes
the
flexibility
already
allowed
in
the
reporting
structure
significantly
eases
burden.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
Section
8(
a)
of
TSCA
generally
exempts
small
manufacturers
and
processors.
However,
under
TSCA
section
8(
a)(
3),
EPA
may
require
small
manufacturers
and
processors
to
report
or
keep
records
if
the
substance
or
mixture
is
subject
to
a
rule
proposed
or
promulgated
under
TSCA
sections
4,
5(

or
with
respect
to
which
relief
has
been
granted
pursuant
to
a
civil
action
brought
under
sections
5
or
7
of
TSCA.
All
respondents
to
TSCA
section
8(

chemical­
specific

including
small
businesses,
are
granted
flexibility
in
their
reporting
methods.

5(

Collection
Schedule
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rules
are
generally
one­
time
collections
of
specific
information,
usually
regarding
one
chemical
substance.
Proposed
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemicalspecific
rules
request
comments.
The
comments
are
then
addressed
and
incorporated
as
appropriate
in
the
final
rule,
which
specifies
the
reporting
deadline.
Generally,
EPA
requires
that
information
be
reported
no
sooner
than
30
days
after
the
effective
date
of
a
final
rule.

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
6(

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
Wage
rates
including
fringe
benefits
and
overhead
for
three
broad
categories
of
labor
(
managerial,
technical,
and
clerical)
were
used
in
this
analysis.
The
labor
categories
and
methods
for
estimating
loaded
wage
rates
were
developed
during
previous
studies.
The
basis
for
estimating
wage
rates
for
these
purposes
is
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
BLS)
December
2002
wage
data
for
comparable
labor
categories
in
all
goods­
producing
private
industries
(
released
March
18,
2003).
The
managerial
wage
rates
are
taken
from
the
BLS
data
for
the
executive,
administrative
and
managerial
occupational
group.
The
technical
wage
rates
are
taken
from
BLS
data
for
the
professional
specialty
and
technical
occupational
group.
The
clerical
wage
rates
are
taken
from
the
BLS
data
for
the
administrative
support
(
including
clerical)
occupational
group.
Based
on
that
BLS
data,
the
average
­
8­
hourly
wage
rates
are
$
33.09
for
managerial
personnel,
$
27.00
for
technical
personnel,
and
$
14.89
for
clerical
personnel,
all
in
December
2002
dollars.

The
benefits
and
overhead
loading
factors
are
calculated
from
the
BLS
data
on
the
cost
of
benefits,
with
17
percent
of
the
average
wage
added
for
overhead.
The
overhead
factor
of
17
percent
is
based
on
information
provided
by
the
chemical
industry
and
chemical
industry
trade
associations.
The
loaded
hourly
wage
rates
are
$
53.27
for
managerial
personnel,
$
43.34
for
technical
personnel,
and
$
23.96
for
clerical
personnel,

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
The
following
are
the
tasks
that
managers,
technical,
and
clerical
personnel
are
expected
to
perform
in
preparing
a
notice.
However,
as
discussed
at
the
end
of
this
section
and
presented
in
Table
2,
not
all
respondents
are
likely
to
be
required
to
perform
all
tasks
under
each
labor
category.
Therefore,
the
ranges
of
labor
hours
presented
below
for
each
labor
category
(
i.
e.,
9
to
29.5
hours
for
managers),
are
the
maximums,
and
are
based
on
the
assumption
that
all
tasks
are
performed
for
each
notice.

The
cost
to
a
respondent
for
filing
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
notice
depends
upon
the
various
tasks
­
10­
performed.
These
tasks
could
include
gathering
the
required
data,
preparing
and
submitting
the
TSCA
section
8(
a)
notice,
and
possibly
keeping
records.
Based
on
promulgated
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rules,
EPA
estimates
that
each
respondent
will
submit
one
notice
per
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemicalspecific
rule.
EPA
anticipates
issuing
one
TSCA
section
8(
a)
rule
per
year
and
expects
to
receive
an
average
of
four
notices
per
year.

The
cost
to
a
respondent
for
submitting
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
notice
is
a
function
of
the
number
of
hours
and
the
hourly
labor
costs
for
the
individuals
developing
and
preparing
the
notice.
The
annual
estimated
range
of
cost
to
the
respondent
is
$
1,432
($
506
+
$
758
+
$
168)
to
$
6,322
($
1,571
+
$
4,247
+
$
503)
per
notice,
and
$
5,729
to
$
25,288
per
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule
(
above
estimates
multiplied
by
four,
the
number
of
notices
expected
per
rule.)
However,
as
mentioned
above,
these
figures
are
likely
to
overstate
the
true
cost
because
not
all
respondents
may
be
required
to
supply
information
regarding
each
activity.
Thus,
the
average
actual
cost
to
the
respondent
will
be
lower
than
the
$
1,432
to
$
6,322
per
notice
estimate
calculated
above.
The
estimated
frequency
of
each
activity,
along
with
total
respondent
cost
and
burden
calculations,
is
presented
in

The
total

On

The

bases
its

and
labor

estimates
on
prior
experience
in
gathering
and
processing
information
associated
with
other

collections.
EPA
has
not
promulgated
a
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule
in
the
past
12
years.
Because
Agency
activities
involve
a
team
approach,
the
Agency
has
used
a
composite
burden
hour
estimate
containing
workers
at
various
GS
levels
and
calculated
hourly
costs
based
upon
the
wage
rate
for
a
GS­
12
Step
1.
The
year
2003
annual
salary
for
a
GS­
12
Step
1
is
$
57,421.
The
cost
for
.5
FTE,
based
on
a
full­
time
work
year
of
2,080
hours,
is
$
28,710
(
the
hourly
wage
rate
is
$
27.61
x
1,040
hours).
Incorporating
an
overhead
and
benefits
factor
of
.6
yields
an
annual,
fully
loaded
cost
of
$
45,937
to
the
Agency
of
promulgating
and
supporting

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
current
request
for
renewal
estimates
a
total
annual
burden
to
respondents
of
275
hours,
which
is
unchanged
from
the
previous
ICR
renewal.

EPA
anticipates
issuing
one
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule
per
year
with
an
average
of
four
respondents
submitting
notices
per
rule.
EPA
may
promulgate
more
than
one
TSCA
section
8(
a)
chemical­
specific
rule
per
year
over
the
next
three
years.
If
EPA
does
this,
the
Agency
will
submit
a
technical
amendment
to
OMB
to
reflect
the
change
in
estimated
burden
to
the
regulated
industry
and
the
government.

6(
f)
Burden
Statement
The
public
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
68.8
hours
per
response
(
one­
quarter
of
the
maximum
annual
burden
of
275
hours
for
four
notices).
Of
the
68.8
hours,
65.8
hours
are
associated
with
reporting
tasks
such
as
reviewing
instructions,
gathering
the
data
needed,
and
completing
and
reviewing
the
collection
of
information.
The
remaining
three
hours
are
associated
with
recordkeeping.
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;
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;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
An
Agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor
such
a
request,
and
a
person
or
facility
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,
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
included
on
the
related
collection
instrument
or

if
applicable.

To
comment
on
the
Agency's
need
for
this
information,
the
accuracy
of
the
provided
burden
estimates,
and
any
suggested
methods
for
minimizing
respondent
burden,

that
remain
in
that
substance
or
mixture.
Such
byproducts
and
impurities
may,
or
may
not,
in
themselves
have
commercial
value.
They
are
nonetheless
produced
for
the
purpose
