Characterization
The
Toxic
Substances
Control
Act
(
TSCA)
section
6(
e)(
1),
15
USC
2605(
e),
directs
EPA
to
regulate
the
marking
and
disposal
of
polychlorinated
biphenyls
(
PCBs).
Section
6(
e)(
2)
bans
the
manufacturing,
processing,
distribution
in
commerce,
and
use
of
PCBs
in
other
than
a
totally
enclosed
manner.
Section
6(
e)(
3)
establishes
a
process
for
obtaining
an
exemption
from
the
prohibitions
on
the
manufacture,
processing,
and
distribution
in
commerce
of
PCBs.
This
provision
requires
that
EPA
must
make
a
finding
by
rule
that
such
activities
will
not
present
an
unreasonable
risk
of
injury
to
health
or
the
environment.
In
addition,
good
faith
efforts
must
have
been
made
by
the
petitioner
to
develop
a
chemical
substance
that
does
not
present
an
unreasonable
risk
to
replace
the
PCBs.
Exemptions
may
be
granted
for
a
period
not
to
exceed
one
year.
Since
1978,
EPA
has
promulgated
numerous
rules
addressing
all
aspects
of
the
life
cycle
of
PCBs
as
required
by
the
statute.
These
regulations
have
been
codified
in
the
various
subparts
of
40
CFR
761,
as
shown
in
Table
1­

Appendix
A
contains

that
previously
consolidated
six
ICRs
as
follows:

1.

This
collection
was
amended
to
address
third­
party
notifications
and
to
address
the
burden
associated
with
EPA's
Reclassification
Rule
when
it
was
a
proposed
rule.

The
previous
Consolidated
ICR
also
incorporated
collection
request
burdens
associated
with
the
Reclassification
Rule
(
66
FR
17602,
April
2,
2001)
not
previously
contained
in
OMB's
inventory.
No
additional
requirements
have
been
added
to
this
ICR,
with
the
exception
of
two
minor
reporting
provisions
of
the
Reclassification
Rule
that
were
not
included
in
the
previous
Consolidated
ICR.

There
are
approximately
100
specific
reporting,
third­
party
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
requirements
covered
by
this
consolidated
ICR.
Some
examples
of
reporting
and
third­
party
reporting
requirements

commerce
of
PCBs;
and
the
decontamination
of
PCB
Items.

Information
required
by
these
regulations
is
used
by
EPA's
Regional
Administrators,
the
Office
of
Enforcement
and
Compliance
Assurance
(
OECA),
or
the
Office
of
Pollution
Prevention
and
Toxic
Substances
(
OPPTS),
as
appropriate.
Much
of
the
information
is
maintained
as
part
of
­
5­
the
public
docket.
Confidential
business
information
(
CBI)
submitted
to
EPA
to
qualify
for
the
chemical
manufacturing
exclusions
is
maintained
by
OPPTS
in
the
CBI
docket.
Data
collected
under
the
transformer
registration
program
are
provided
to
the
EPA
Regional
Offices
and
other
environmental
offices,
on
an
as
requested
basis
(
e.
g.,
State
environmental
agencies,
fire
response
personnel,
etc.),
and
is
accessible
on­
line
as
well.

All
of
the
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
PCB
regulations
found
at
40
CFR
761
have
been
approved
by
OMB.
The
total
hourly
and
cost
burdens
associated
with
the
requirements
discussed
in
this
consolidated
ICR
include
time
needed
to
collect
and
review
required
information
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
EPA
will
use
the
information
collected
by
the
40
CFR
761
requirements
to
ensure
PCBs
are
managed
in
an
environmentally
safe
manner
and
that
activities
are
being
conducted
in
compliance
with
the
PCB
regulations.
Specific
uses
of
the
information
collected
include
determining
the
efficacy
of
a
disposal
technology;
evaluating
exemption
requests
and
exclusion
notices;
targeting
compliance
inspections
(
e.
g.,
determining
if
operational
criteria
for
disposal
facilities
are
being
met);
and
ensuring
adequate
storage
capacity
for
PCB
waste.

2.
NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
this
consolidated
ICR
are
implemented
under
the
TSCA
authorities
15
USC
2605,
Section
6(
e).
To
meet
its
statutory
obligations,
EPA
must
obtain
sufficient
information
to
conclude
that
the
specified
activities
do
not
result
in
an
unreasonable
risk
of
injury
to
health
or
the
environment.
The
regulations
are
intended
to
prevent
the
improper
handling
and
disposal
of
PCBs
and
to
minimize
the
exposure
of
human
beings
or
the
environment
to
PCBs.

To
assist
EPA
in
achieving
these
goals,
the
information
collected
by
these
requirements
will
update
the
Agency's
knowledge
of
ongoing
PCB
activities,
ensure
that
individuals
using
or
disposing
of
PCBs
are
held
accountable
for
their
activities,
and
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
PCB
regulations.
Tables
2­
1,
2­
2,
and
2­
3
(
located
at
the
end
of
this
section)
provide
specific
regulatory
citations
for
each
reporting,
third­
party
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
requirement,
respectively,
as
well
as
the
use
for
each
requirement,
which
is
provided
in
response
to
Section
2(
b)
of
this
report.
Item
numbers
in
the
first
column
of
the
tables
are
included
for
ease
of
reference
to
the
numerous
requirements
and
are
carried
through
to
other
sections
and
tables
throughout
this
document.

There
are,
however,
certain
PCB
requirements
that
are
exempt
from
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
(
PRA).
In
defining
"
collection
of
information,"
OMB's
PRA
regulations
explicitly
exempt
public
disclosures
where
all
the
information
required
to
be
displayed
is
supplied
by
the
government.
The
last
sentence
of
5
CFR
1320.3(
c)(
2)
states,
"
The
public
disclosure
of
­
6­
information
originally
supplied
by
the
Federal
Government
to
the
recipient
for
the
purpose
of
disclosure
to
the
public
is
not
included
within
this
definition"
(
emphasis
added).
This
exemption
is
reflected
in
OMB's
February
3,
1997
draft,
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995:
Implementing
Guidance,
p.
20,
n.
88
(
giving
the
example
of
cigarettes
displaying
the
specified
Surgeon
General's
warning).

EPA's
PCB
marking
requirements
at
§
§
761.40
and
.45
supply
all
the
information
required
by
EPA
to
be
displayed
on
items
containing
PCBs,
except
for
§
§
761.45(
a)
and
.40(
j)(
2).
All
the
information
required
to
be
disclosed
for
compliance
with
these
two
provisions
is
not
provided
by
EPA,
however,
the
requirements
do
not
negate
the
above
conclusion.

For
§
761.45(
a),
the
mark
prompts
the
recipient
to
add
information
identifying
the
name
and
telephone
number
of
a
person
to
contact
beyond
the
contact
information
already
supplied
by
EPA's
mark
itself.
(
The
mark
gives
an
emergency
800
number
at
the
U.
S.
Coast
Guard
in
case
of
accidents
or
spills,
and
states
"
for
disposal
information
contact
the
nearest
U.
S.
EPA
office.")
However,
OMB's
PRA
regulations
state
at
5
CFR
1320.3(
h)(
1)
that
the
definition
of
"
information"
does
not
generally
include
"
affidavits,
oaths,
affirmations,
certifications,
receipts,
changes
of
address,
consents,
or
acknowledgments;
provided
that
they
entail
no
burden
other
than
that
necessary
to
identify
the
respondent,
the
date,
the
respondent's
address,
and
the
nature
of
the
instrument."
According
to
OMB's
draft
PRA
Guidance
(
p.
24),
this
exemption
"
is
to
be
used
only
to
identify
an
individual
in
a
routine,
non­
intrusive,
non­
burdensome
way."
Thus,
requiring
the
recipient
to
display
merely
the
name
and
phone
number
of
a
contact
person
falls
outside
OMB's
definition
of
"
information"
and
therefore
does
not
require
OMB
approval
or
negate
the
exemption,
under
5
CFR
1320.3(
c)(
2),
for
the
PCB
marking
requirements.

The
second
exemption
is
that
§
761.40(
j)(
2)
allows
the
use
of
marks
other
than
that
prescribed
by
EPA
at
§
761.45
for
PCB
Transformers
(
provided,
among
other
things,
that
(
i)
those
marks
were
in
use
before
August
15,
1985,
(
ii)
before
August
15,
1985,
the
primary
fire
department
accepted
the
alternative
mark,
(
iii)
the
EPA
Regional
Administrator
(
RA)
was
informed
in
writing
of
the
alternative
mark
by
October
3,
1988,
and
(
iv)
the
EPA
RA
approved
the
alternative
mark
within
30
days
of
receipt).
This
exception
applies
only
to
the
discrete
universe
of
individuals
who
were
already
using
alternative
markings
before
August
15,
1985,
and
received
EPA's
approval
to
continue
using
it.
At
that
time,
the
PRA
did
not
apply
to
Agency
requirements
that
regulated
entities
disclose
information
to
third
parties
or
the
pubic
rather
than
to
the
Agency
itself,
Dole
v.
United
Steelworkers
of
America,
110
S.
Ct.
929,
938
(
1990),
such
as
a
requirement
to
display
a
marking
on
PCB
Transformers.

There
are
three
main
types
of
possible
violations
for
these
PCB
marking
requirements:
PCB
Transformers
with
(
1)
no
labels,
(
2)
unapproved
alternative
labels,
or
(
3)
inadequate
labels
with
missing
or
incorrect
information.
Those
persons
who
fail
to
use
any
mark
and
never
submitted
an
application
for
an
alternative,
and
those
persons
who
are
using
an
unapproved
alternative
mark,
cannot
assert
the
PRA
as
an
affirmative
defense,
because
they
are
required
to
use
the
mark
specified
in
§
761.45,
which,
according
to
5
CFR
1320.3(
c)(
2),
does
not
constitute
the
­
7­
collection
of
information.

2(
b)
Use
of
the
Data
EPA
will
use
the
information
collected
by
the
40
CFR
761
requirements
to
ensure
PCBs
are
managed
in
an
environmentally
safe
manner
and
that
activities
are
being
conducted
in
compliance
with
the
PCB
regulations.
Tables
2­
1,
2­
2,
and
2­
3
contain
information
on
the
specific
use
of
the
data
for
each
information

TSCA
Section

assigns
the
responsibility
for
regulating
the
manufacture,
processing,
distribution
in
commerce,
use,
storage,
and
disposal
of
PCBs
to
the
EPA
administrator.
All
of
the
information
requested
under
this
ICR
is
required
by
the
statute
and
the
implementing
regulations
at
40
CFR
761
and
is
not
available
from
other
sources.
The
information
collection
requirements
addressed
in
these
ICRs
are
not
duplicative
of
any
other
Federal
agency
legislation.
No
other
Federal
agency
requires
respondents
to
report
or
maintain
information
on
the
manufacturing,
processing,
or
distribution
in
commerce
of
PCBs.

For
example,
the
notification
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
§
§
761.185,
761.187,
and
761.193
comprise
the
sole
source
of
information
EPA
relies
on
to
identify
the
manufacturing
sites
that
inadvertently
manufacture
PCBs
and
to
verify
that
the
members
who
have
certified
their
eligibility
for
the
exclusion
are
not
exceeding
the
prescribed
limits
on
PCB
releases.
Over
time,
reviewers
of
the
PCB
ICRs
have
suggested
that
the
TSCA
PCB
requirements
are
duplicative
of
TSCA
inventory
Form
U
reports,
EPCRA
Tier
I
and
II
reports,
and
Customs
records
that
presumably
could
be
used
by
EPA
to
identify
a
product's
PCB
concentration
(
§
§
761.185
and
.187);
that
RCRA,
CWA,
CAA,
and
CERCLA
could
be
used
by
EPA
to
address
air
and
water
emissions
and
process
waste
concerns
(
§
761.187);
and
that
EPCRA
reporting
requirements
could
be
used
by
EPA
to
identify
locations
of
PCB
Transformers
and
PCB
releases
(
§
§
761.30(
a)(
1)
and
.187).
However,
none
of
these
requirements
begin
to
address
the
concerns
that
are
being
tracked
under
the
TSCA
PCB
regulations.
For
example,
Customs
records
collect
information
on
importation
(
i.
e.,
chemical
products,
points
of
entry,
and
quantities,
not
products
with
de
minimis
levels
of
PCBs).
The
EPCRA
and
TSCA
inventory
reports
do
not
gather
information
at
the
levels
that
would
be
useful
under
the
PCB
regulations
Finally,
the
RCRA,
CWA,
CAA,
and
CERCLA
provisions
cannot
be
used
to
monitor
PCB
concentrations
in
consumer
products
or
to
prescribe
disposal
procedures
for
PCBs.

available
to
the
public
for

through
a
Federal
Register
notice.
The
public
will
have
60
days
to
provide
comments.
Any
comments
received
will
be
given
consideration
when
completing
the
supporting
statement
that
is
submitted
to
OMB.

3(
c)
Consultations
On
numerous
occasions
during
the
course
of
regulating
PCBs,
the
Agency
has
consulted
with
the
regulated
community
and
the
public.
These
consultations
have
been
held
directly
with
industry
officials
and,
on
an
ongoing
basis,
with
owners
and
operators
of
regulated
facilities,
during
EPA
enforcement
activities
and
facility
inspections.
For
example,
when
developing
the
­
29­
rules
pertaining
to
PCB
Transformer
use,
EPA
consulted
with
the
Department
of
Agriculture,
U.
S.
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services,
and
the
Small
Business
Administration.
To
obtain
information
on
the
numbers
of
transformers
subject
to
the
requirements,
EPA
consulted
with
the
Edison
Electric
Institute,
Equitable
Life
Assurance,
and
the
Building
Owners
and
Managers
Association.
As
a
result
of
the
promulgated
Electrical
Equipment
Use
Rule,
EPA
has
consulted
with
various
organizations
and
agencies
on
an
ongoing
basis.
EPA
also
meets
annually
with
representatives
from
more
than
50
utilities
and
electric
cooperatives
who
have
verified
the
burden
estimates
related
to
inspection
recordkeeping
requirements
for
PCB
Transformers.

For
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
promulgated
June
29,
1998
(
63
FR
35384),
the
Agency
consulted
with
the
regulated
community
and
the
public
on
all
aspects
of
the
rulemaking.
In
addition,
informal
meetings
were
held
with
the
American
Gas
Association
(
AGA),
Interstate
Natural
Gas
Association
of
America
(
INGAA),
Utilities
Solid
Waste
Activities
Group
(
USWAG),
and
the
Environmental
Technology
Council
(
ETC).
Interagency
meetings
conducted
jointly
by
OMB
and
EPA
regarding
the
provisions
of
this
rule
were
attended
by
several
Federal
agencies,
including
the
Department
of
Defense
(
DOD),
the
Department
of
Energy
(
DOE),
the
Department
of
Transportation
(
DOT),
and
the
Tennessee
Valley
Authority
(
TVA).

For
this
Consolidated
ICR
renewal,
a
small­
scale
data
gathering
effort
was
conducted
to
update
burdens,
costs,
and
numbers
of
respondents
for
the
information
collection
requirements.
Nine
or
fewer
organizations,
associations,
or
individuals
were
contacted
for
this
effort
per
unique
requirement,
including
representatives
from
the
natural
gas
industry
and
electric
utilities.
These
contacts
were:

This
effort
also
involved
gathering
information
about
the
number
of
notifications
the
Agency
has
received
over
the
past
three
years
for
the
various
reporting
burdens
(
see
Table
2­
1)
and
the
number
of
PCB
spills
reported
to
the
National
Response
Center
(
NRC)
from
2000
to
2002
(
U.
S.
Coast
Guard,
2003).
It
also
involved
using
information
recently
gathered
for
preparing
the
September
2003
Draft
Analysis
to
the
Cost
Impacts
of
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
Part
761,
including
information
obtained
from
conversations
with
regulated
entities
(
U.
S.
EPA,
2003d).
This
analysis
was
performed
within
the
context
of
the
­
30­
limitations
mentioned
above.
It
is
noted
that
the
responses
regarding
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burdens
are
variable.
Comments
are
incorporated
throughout
the
supporting
statement.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
EPA
has
judged
that
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
these
ICRs
are
the
minimum
amount
necessary
to
prevent
injury
to
health
and
the
environment.
These
requirements
ensure
adequate
oversight
by
EPA
over
the
use
of
PCBs
and
PCB
equipment
and
the
storage
and
disposal
of
PCB
wastes.
If
these
activities
were
conducted
less
frequently,
the
mismanagement
and
improper
storage
and
disposal
of
PCBs
would
likely
cause
subsequent
environmental
contamination.

There
are
several
examples
of
one­
time
PCB
information
collection
requirements.
One
example
is
the
notification
and
certifications
requirements
of
§
761.185,
which
are
supported
by
relevant
sampling
data
or
by
theoretical
analysis.
Only
when
processes
are
modified
are
importers
and
manufacturers
required
to
renotify.
The
notification
requirements
regarding
installation
of
PCB
Transformers
in
emergency
situations,
and
for
owners
who
elect
not
to
install
enhanced
electrical
protection
on
lower
voltage
secondary
transformers
were
one­
time
notifications
that
were
to
be
completed
by
October
1,
1990.
Another
example
are
the
reports
on
total
PCB
releases
of
§
761.187
that
need
only
be
submitted
if
the
PCB
levels
in
the
products
exceed
the
specified
annual
average
of
25
ppm,
or
when
releases
to
air
and
water
exceed
the
regulatory
thresholds.
Also,
EPA
requires
one­
time
notifications
for
owners
to
register
their
newly
discovered
PCB
Transformers
(
see
EPA
Form
7720­
12,
PCB
Transformer
Registrations
at
Appendix
C)
and
for
individuals
to
notify
the
Agency
of
their
PCB
waste
handling
activities
(
see
EPA
Form
7710­
53,
Notification
of
PCB
Activity
at
Appendix
D);
both
notifications
can
be
accomplished
by
completing
a
simple
form,
although
use
of
the
form
is
optional
when
registering
PCB
Transformers.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
Most
of
the
information
requested
by
this
ICR
is
consistent
with
OMB's
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
Guidelines.
Some
exceptions
are
as
follows.

Under
the
information
collection
requirements
of
§
§
761.185
and
761.193
(
ICR
1001),
manufacturing
and
monitoring
records
that
document
PCB
levels
in
products
and
analyses
that
support
the
one­
time
notification
and
certification
of
compliance
for
the
process
must
be
retained
for
either
3
years
after
the
certified
process
ceases
operations
or
7
years,
whichever
is
shorter.
The
content
of
the
file
most
likely
would
not
change
over
the
7­
year
period,
so
the
burden
of
keeping
the
file
is
substantially
mitigated
by
its
limited
contents.
Likewise,
entities
that
monitor
for
actual
PCB
concentrations
in
the
products
they
manufacture,
use,
process,
distribute
in
commerce,
or
recycle
must
also
maintain
monitoring
data
records
under
§
761.193
for
either
a
3­
year
period
after
the
operation
ceases
or
up
to
7
years.
The
effect
of
this
provision
is
to
impose
­
31­
an
equal
retention
period
for
sampling
data
on
all
those
who
deal
with
inadvertently
generated
PCBs
in
products,
whether
the
PCBs
result
from
excluded
manufacturing
processes
or
recycling.

To
comply
with
the
storage
and
disposal
requirements
of
Subpart
D,
disposers
and
commercial
storers
must
retain
records
for
at
least
3
years
after
the
facility
is
no
longer
used
for
the
storage
or
disposal
of
PCB
wastes,
except
that
chemical
waste
landfills
must
maintain
records
for
at
least
20
years
after
the
facility
no
longer
accepts
PCB
wastes.
The
reason
for
requiring
records
retention
for
landfills
in
excess
of
3
years
is
that
a
leak
from
a
chemical
waste
landfill
could
take
years
to
develop
into
a
noticeable
environmental
problem.
Landfill
records
are
the
only
mechanism
to
accurately
trace
the
source
of
the
contamination.
Also,
certain
operational
records
maintained
by
the
owner/
operator
of
incineration
facilities
and
high
efficiency
boilers
must
be
retained
for
5
years
from
the
date
of
collection.
This
enables
facilities
to
demonstrate
to
enforcement
officials
that
the
facility
has
consistently
complied
with
relevant
technical
requirements
and
conditions
specified
in
the
disposal
permit.

The
Final
Disposal
Amendments
Rule
contains
several
provisions
that
require
recordkeeping
for
5
years
or
more.
These
provisions
include
§
761.61(
a)(
9),
which
requires
the
notifications
and
remediation
site
cleanup
activity
documentation,
pursuant
§
§
761.61(
a)(
3),
(
4),
and
(
5),
to
be
maintained
for
5
years.
Section
761.61(
a)(
8)(
i)(
A)
requires
a
notice
be
permanently
affixed
to
the
deed
of
any
property
where
a
remediation
project
has
resulted
in
the
installation
of
a
fence
or
ground
cover
cap
to
increase
protection
from
exposure
to
PCBs.
These
measures
were
taken
to
enable
adequate
oversight
of
remediation
projects
by
environmental
officials
and
to
provide
adequate
notice
to
potential
new
owners
of
property
where
remediation
projects
were
undertaken.

There
are
a
number
of
provisions
in
Part
761
that
require
reporting
within
15
or
30
days
of
the
occurrence
of
a
specific
event.
For
example,
the
third­
party
notification
requirements
of
§
§
761.61(
a)(
5)(
B)(
2)(
iv)
and
761.62(
b)(
4)(
i)
and
(
ii)
require
generators
to
provide
notice
to
certain
off­
site
facilities
at
least
15
days
prior
to
shipping
certain
wastes.
These
reporting
requirements
are
not
triggered
by
the
calendar
(
i.
e.,
they
are
not
required
quarterly
or
at
more
frequent
intervals).
Therefore,
the
Agency
does
not
believe
that
these
provisions,
or
the
following
30­
day
reporting
requirements,
need
special
justification:

 
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
vi)(
A)(
1)
requires
owners
of
PCB
transformers
to
register
the
transformer
with
EPA
within
30
days
of
discovery.

 
§
761.60(
j)(
1)(
ii)
requires
EPA,
State,
and
local
environmental
protection
agencies
to
be
notified
of
the
commencement
of
pilot­
scale
PCB
R&
D
disposal
activity.

 
§
761.61(
a)(
3)(
i)
requires
EPA,
State
or
Tribal,
and
county
or
local
environmental
protection
agencies
to
be
notified
of
the
location
of
a
remediation
waste
cleanup
project.
­
32­
 
§
761.65(
a)(
2)(
i)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
of
intent
to
store
waste
beyond
the
1­
year
limit
30
days
prior
to
the
expiration
of
the
1­
year
time
frame
when
disposal
cannot
be
accomplished
within
that
period.

 
§
761.70(
b)(
8)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
30
days
prior
to
transferring
ownership
of
an
incinerator.

 
§
761.75(
c)(
7)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
30
days
prior
to
transferring
ownership
of
a
landfill.

 
§
761.80(
e)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
30
days
prior
to
commencing
PCB
R&
D
disposal
activity
when
using
manufactured/
imported
PCBs
obtained
under
this
exemption.

 
§
761.180(
c)(
5)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
within
30
days
of
suspension
of
incineration
operations.

 
§
761.205(
f)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
within
30
days
of
changes
to
previous
PCB
Notification.

 
§
761.207(
c)(
1)(
iv)
requires
commercial
storers/
disposal
facilities
to
send
copy
of
manifest
to
generators
within
30
days
of
receipt
of
waste.

 
§
761.218(
b)
requires
disposers
to
send
Certificates
of
Disposal
to
generator
within
30
days
of
disposing
of
his
waste.

3(

Confidentiality
Petitioners
or
permit
applicants
may
claim
that
all
or
part
of
any
information
given
to
EPA,
such
as
process
design
information,
is
confidential
business
information
(
CBI).
EPA
handles
claims
of
confidentiality
pursuant
to
established
CBI
procedures,
as
found
at
Section
14
of
TSCA,
40
CFR
750.16
and
750.36,
and
the
Agency's
TSCA
CBI
Manual.
Confidential
Business
Information
is
also
protected
under
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act
(
5
USC
Section
525).
Most
of
the
information
requested
in
the
reporting

requirements
of
these
collections
is
not
of
a
confidential
nature.

THE
RESPONDENTS
AND
THE
INFORMATION
REQUESTED
4(
a)
Respondents/
NAICS
Codes
EPA's
PCB
regulations
could
affect
entities
in
all
industrial
categories,
regardless
of
size,
that
currently
possess
PCB
Items,
PCB­
contaminated
equipment,
or
other
PCB
waste.
These
entities
include
those
in
both
the
public
and
private
sectors,
and
may
include
not­
for­
profit
organizations
as
well
as
for­
profit
entities.
Entities
that
generate
PCB
wastes
comprise
the
following
classes:

 
Electric
utility
industry
(
NAICS
2211),
including
municipal
and
county
electric
systems,
and
other
publicly
owned
systems,
such
as
irrigation
districts.
It
has
been
estimated
that
70
percent
of
PCBs
produced
were
used
in
dielectric
fluid
for
transformers
and
capacitors.
Thus,
such
high­
voltage
equipment
represents
a
significant
use
of
PCBs
and
therefore
a
major
source
of
PCB
waste
generation.
EPA
studies
of
the
numbers
of
such
equipment
in
use
assumed
that
utilities
owned
30
percent
of
the
askarel
transformers,
80
percent
of
the
mineral
oil
transformers,
and
85
percent
of
the
large
PCB
Capacitors,
with
the
remainder
owned
by
non­
utility
industrial
enterprises.
It
is
estimated
that
there
are
about
2,900
small
entities
in
the
electric
utility
industry.
Privately
owned
small
utilities
are
defined
as
those
with
less
than
4
million
megawatt­
hours
of
electricity
sales
per
year.
Small
publicly
owned
utilities
are
those
owned
by
government
bodies
with
less
than
50,000
in
population.

 
Non­
utility
entities

(
EPA
studies
have
shown
that
these
entities
account
for
more
than
90
percent
of
PCB
waste
generated
by
the
non­
utility
private
sector.
Hospitals
(
NAICS
62211)
and
colleges/
universities
(
NAICS
61131)
are
also
likely
to
have
high­
voltage
electrical
equipment
of
the
type
associated
with
PCB
use
and
contamination.)

 
Entities
with
PCB
ballasts
from
fluorescent
light
fixtures,
including

that
must
obtain
approval
from
EPA
to

Data
Items.

Many
of
the
information
collection
requirements
are
triggered
only
by
an
individual's
need
to
address
a
particular
PCB
scenario,
while
other
requirements
apply
to
the
universe
of
individuals
who
use,
process,
distribute
in
commerce,
or
dispose
of
PCBs.
EPA
anticipates
that
no
one
individual
would
be
subject
to
all
of
the
requirements
listed
below.
The
reporting,
thirdparty
reporting,
and

contain
the
reference
number
used
throughout
this
document,
the
existing
ICR

Subpart
A
 
General
(#
1)
Certification
Notification
for
Excluded
Manufacturers:
The
primary
reporting
requirement
for
manufacturers
who
inadvertently
generate
PCBs
and
importers
of
products
containing
inadvertently
generated
PCBs
is
a
certified
notification
to
EPA.
The
notification
(
1)
identifies
the
manufacturing
processes
that
generate
PCBs
in
products
at
levels
above
2
parts
per
million
(
ppm);
(
2)
certifies
compliance
with
all
PCB
release
conditions
on
excluded
processes;
and
(
3)
states
whether
the
certification
is
based
on
actual
monitoring
data
or
on
theoretical
analysis
of
the
chemical
reaction(
s)
involved
in
the
manufacturing
process.
Additionally,
manufacturers
and
importers
must
report
to
EPA
data
on
their
processes
during
periods
of
unusually
high
generation
or
releases
of
PCBs.
Reports
are
required
in
any
calendar
year
where
total
quantities
of
PCBs
in
manufactured
products
exceed
0.0025%
of
a
manufacturing
site's
rated
capacity,
or
the
total
quantity
of
PCBs
imported
exceeds
0.0025%
of
the
average
for
PCB­
containing
products
that
were
imported
during
the
1978­
1982
timeframe.
Also,
reporting
is
required
when
total
PCB
releases
to
air
or
water
exceed
10
pounds
during
the
year
at
any
site,
and
certification
must
be
repeated
whenever
process
conditions
are
significantly
modified

Exemption
Petitions:
Individuals
seeking

to
manufacture
(
import),
process,
or
distribute
in
commerce
(
export)
PCBs
as
per
TSCA
Section
6(

must
submit
exemption
petitions
unless
otherwise
authorized

Transformer
Registration:
Owners
of
PCB
Transformers
are
required
to
register
their
transformers
with
EPA.
The
registration
program
provides
State
officials
and
emergency
response
personnel
information
for
providing
a
significantly
higher
degree
of
protection
in
emergency
situations.
This
information
is
also
for
use
to
address
requirements
of
international
environmental
programs
to
identify
sources
and
reduce
or
eliminate
the
reliance
on
PCBs.
Information
that
must
be
included
in
the
notification
consists
of
the
following:
transformer
address
(
i.
e.,
location);
number
of
PCB
Transformers,
including
total
weight
in
kilograms;
and
the
name,
address,
telephone
number,
and
signature
of
the
owner,
operator,
or
other
authorized
representative
certifying
the
accuracy
of
the
submitted
information.
The
use
of
a
form
is
optional,
as
is
information
on
whether
the
unit(
s)
contains
a
flammable
liquid.
A
copy
of
EPA
Form
7720­
12,
which
can
be
used
for
submitting
this
information
[
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
vi)],
is
included
in
this
report
as
Appendix
C.
Note
that
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
xv)(
D)
removes
the
requirement
to
register
PCB
Transformers
with
the
fire
department,
but
retains
the
requirement
to
register
the
transformers
with
building
owners.

PCB
Equipment
Reclassification:
Persons
wishing
to
use
alternate
methods
to
reclassify
PCB
equipment
(
i.
e.,
transformers
,
electromagnets,
switches,
and
voltage
regulators)
must
obtain
EPA
approval
to
do
so
[
§
§
761.30(
a)(
2)(
v)(
c);
.30(
h)(
2)(
v)(
c)].
Therefore,
EPA
requires
information
on
the
process
that
is
being
considered
as
well
as
equipment
identification
information.

(#

Use
of
Natural
Gas
Pipelines
and
Other
Gas
or
Liquid
Systems:
Owners/
operators
of
natural
gas
pipelines
who
sell
or
distribute
natural
gas
are
authorized
to
use
natural
gas
pipelines
that
have
been
contaminated
with
PCBs
in
concentrations

50
ppm,
if
they
take
certain
actions
to
identify
sources
of
contamination
and
reduce
levels
to
<
50
ppm
PCBs.
Owner/
operators
of
these
pipelines
must
submit
a
written
description
of
the
general
nature
and
location
of
PCB
contamination
in
concentrations

50
ppm
if
requested
by
EPA.
This
description
is
sent
to
the
RA
or
the
Director,
National
Program
Chemicals
Division
(
NPCD),
at
EPA,
if
the
contaminated
pipe
is
located
in
more
than
one
Region.
EPA
expects
the
reporting
burden
to
be
minimized
as
the
regulations
allow
for
the
use
of
historical
data
regarding
these
requirements
(
e.
g.,
sampling
and
analyses
data
and
reports
of
actions
taken
to
reduce
PCB
levels)
[
§
761.30(
i)(
1)(
iii)(
A)(

EPA
Approval
for
Uses
of
PCBs
in
Other
Gas
or
Liquid
Systems:
The
use
of

50
ppm
PCBs
in
"
other"
gas
or
liquid
transmission
systems
is
authorized.
Operators
with
systems
with
PCBs
at
concentrations
of

50
ppm
must
obtain
written
consent
from
the
Director,
National
Program
Chemicals
Division,
who
may
then
specify
conditions
necessary
to
reduce
the
levels
of
PCBs
in
the
system.
It
is
not
apparent
that
systems
not
otherwise
authorized
under
the
regulations
exist.
Therefore,
EPA
expects
this
authorization
to
be
rare
and
has
no
basis
for
developing
a
burden
for
this
notification
requirement.
Without
this
authorization,
however,
use
of
such
gas
or
liquid
systems
with
PCBs

50
ppm
would
be
prohibited
[
§
761.30(
t)(
3)].

Exceeding
Storage
Limitations
for
PCB
Articles
Stored
for
Reuse:
EPA
has
limited
the
storage
for
reuse
of
PCB
Articles
in
areas
not
meeting
the
TSCA
approved
storage
standards
in
§
761.65
to
a
period
of
5
years.
However,
RAs
may
grant
extensions
beyond
5
years
with
conditions,
if
a
request
explaining
the
rationale
for
the
extension
is
submitted
6
months
prior
to
the
expiration
date
[
§
761.35(

Exceeding
Storage
Limitations
for
PCB
Wastes:
A
mechanism
has
been
established
for
automatically
extending
the
1­
year
storage
for
disposal
deadline
for
another
year
based
on
an
adequate
justification.
Any
person
storing
PCB
waste
that
is
subject
to
the
1­
year
time
limit
for
storage
and
disposal
may
provide
written
notification
to
the
RA
that
their
continuing
attempts
to
dispose
of
or
secure
disposal
for
their
waste
within
the
1­
year
time
limit
have
been
unsuccessful.
For
the
automatic
extension
of
the
1­
year
time
frame,
EPA
must
receive
the
notification
at
least
30
days
before
the
initial
1­
year
time
limit
expires
and
the
notice
must
identify
the
storer;
the
types,
volumes,
and
locations
of
the
waste,
and
the
reasons
for
failure
to
meet
the
initial
1­
year
time
limit
[
§
761.65(
a)(

For
subsequent
extensions
of
the
time
frame
for
storing
PCB
wastes,
the
requestor
must
submit
specific
justifications
and
indicate
measures
he
or
she
is
taking
to
secure
disposal
or
reasons
why
disposal
could
not
occur
during
the
prior
extension.
EPA
may
require
specific
actions
as
conditions
to
granting
the
extension,
including
marking,
inspection,
recordkeeping,
or
financial
assurance
to
ensure
that
the
waste
does
not
pose
an
unreasonable
risk
of
injury
to
health
or
the
environment
