Title:
Correction
of
Misreported
Chemical
Substances
on
the
Toxic
Substances
Control
Act
(
TSCA)
Chemical
Substances
Inventory.
Abstract:
Section
8(
b)
of
the
TSCA
requires
EPA
to
compile
and
keep
current
an
Inventory
of
Chemical
Substances
in
Commerce,
which
is
a
listing
of
chemical
substances
manufactured,
imported,
and
processed
for
commercial
purposes
in
the
United
States.
The
purpose
of
the
Inventory
is
to
define,
for
the
purpose
of
TSCA,
what
chemical
substances
exist
in
U.
S.
commerce.
Since
the
Inventory
thereby
performs
a
regulatory
function
by
distinguishing
between
existing
chemicals
and
new
chemicals,
which
TSCA
regulates
in
different
ways,
it
is
imperative
that
the
Inventory
be
accurate.
However,
from
time
to
time,
EPA
or
respondents
discover
that
substances
have
been
incorrectly
described
by
reporting
companies.
Reported
substances
have
been
unintentionally
misidentified
as
a
result
of
simple
typographical
errors,
the
misidentification
of
substances,
or
the
lack
of
sufficient
technical
or
analytical
capabilities
to
characterize
fully
the
exact
chemical
substances.
EPA
has
developed
guidelines
(
45
FR
50544,
July
29,
1980)
under
which
incorrectly
described
substances
listed
in
the
Inventory
can
be
corrected.
The
correction
mechanism
ensures
the
accuracy
of
the
Inventory
without
imposing
an
unreasonable
burden
on
the
chemical
industry.
Without
the
Inventory
correction
mechanism,
a
company
that
submitted
incorrect
information
would
have
to
file
a
premanufacture
notification
(
PMN)
under
TSCA
section
5
to
place
the
correct
chemical
substance
on
the
Inventory
whenever
the
previously
reported
substance
is
found
to
be
misidentified.
This
would
impose
a
much
greater
burden
on
both
EPA
and
the
submitter
than
the
existing
correction
mechanism.
Responses
to
the
collection
of
information
are
voluntary.
Respondents
may
claim
all
or
part
of
a
notice
as
CBI.
EPA
will
disclose
information
that
is
covered
by
a
CBI
claim
only
to
the
extent
permitted
by,
and
in
accordance
with,
the
procedures
in
40
CFR
part
2.
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,
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
included
on
the
related
collection
instrument
or
form,
if
applicable.
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
2
hours
per
response.
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort
or
financial
resources
expended

Respondents/
Affected
Entities:
Entities
potentially
affected
by
this
action
are
companies
that
manufacture
or
import
chemical
substances,
mixtures
or
categories
listed
on
the
TSCA
Inventory
and
regulated
under
TSCA
section
8,
who
reported
to
the
initial
effort
to
establish
the
TSCA
Inventory
in
1979,
and
who
need
to
make
a
correction
to
that
submission.
Frequency
of
Collection:
On
occasion.
Estimated
Total/
Average
Number
of
Responses
for
Each
Respondent:
1.
Estimated
No.
of
Respondents:
10.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Burden
on
Respondents:
20
hours.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Costs:
$
1,467.
Changes
in
Burden
Estimates:
This
request
reflects
a
decrease
of
180
hours
(
from
200
hours
to
20
hours)
in
the
total
estimated
respondent
burden
from
that
currently
in
the
OMB
inventory.
This
decrease
is
due
to
a
downward
reestimation
of
the
anticipated
number
of
annual
responses
to
this
information
collection,
offset
in
part
by
an
upward
estimation
of
the
burden
per
response.
This
change
is
an
adjustment.

ACTION:
Notice

request
for
public
comment
on
a
draft
Environmental

Statement
(

to
designate
``
LA

as
a
permanent
ocean

material
disposal
site
(
ODMDS)
offshore
of
Newport

California.

The
EIS
also
re­
evaluates
an
annual
disposal
volume
limit
for
the
existing
LA
 
2
ODMDS
offshore
of
the
Los

Long

Harbors,
and
how
to
minimize
cumulative
environmental
impacts
from
the
two
ODMDS
in
the
region.
EPA
has
the
authority
to
designate
ODMDS
under
Section
102
of
the
Marine
Protection,
Research
and
Sanctuaries
Act
(
MPRSA)
of
1972
(
33
U.
S.
C.
1401

It
is
EPA's
policy
to
prepare
NEPA
documents
for
all
ODMDS
designations
(
63
FR
58045,
October
1998).
The
USACE,
as
a
cooperating
agency
for
this
action,
received
Congressional
appropriations
to
fund
this
site
designation,
and
managed
contracts
for
field
studies
and
preparation
of
the
