Title: Application for Reference and Equivalent Method Determination (Renewal) Abstract: To determine compliance with the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), State air monitoring agencies are required to use, in their air quality monitoring networks, air monitoring methods that have been formally designated by the EPA as either reference or equivalent methods under VerDate jul<14>2003 19:18 Feb 02, 2005 Jkt 205001 EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 53. A manufacturer or seller of an air monitoring method (e.g. an air monitoring sampler or analyzer) that seeks to obtain such EPA designation of one of its products must carry out prescribed tests of the method. The test results and other information must then be submitted to the EPA in the form of an application for a reference or equivalent method determination in accordance with 40 CFR part 53. The EPA uses this information, under the provisions of part 53, to determine whether the particular method should be designated as either a reference or equivalent method. After a method is designated, the applicant must also maintain records of the names and mailing addresses of all ultimate purchasers of all analyzers or samplers sold as designated methods under the method designation. If the method designated is a method for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), the applicant must also submit checklist information confirmed by an ISO-certified auditor to indicate that the samplers or analyzers sold as part of the designated method are manufactured in an ISO 9001registered facility. Also, an applicant must submit a minor application to seek approval for any proposed modifications to previously designated methods. A response to this collection of information is voluntary, but it is required to obtain the benefit of EPA designation under 40 CFR part 53. Submission of some information that is claimed by the applicant to be confidential business information may be necessary for the EPA to make a reference or equivalent method determination. The confidentiality of any submitted information identified as confidential business information by the applicant will be protected in full accordance with 40 CFR 53.15 and all applicable provisions of 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 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 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 860 hours per response full application and 30 hours per request for modification for a combined average of 524 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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: primarily manufacturers and vendors of ambient air quality monitoring instruments that are used by state and local air quality monitoring agencies in their federally required air surveillance monitoring networks, and agents acting for such instrument manufacturers or vendors. Estimated Number of Respondents: 19. Frequency of Response: Once per application, plus requests for modifications as needed. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,718 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $426,966, including annualized capital/ startup cost of $19,651, O&M cost of $81,408, and respondent labor costs of $325,907. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. Dated: January 25, 2005.

Title: TSCA Sec. 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR). Abstract: Section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) authorizes EPA to promulgate rules under which manufacturers, importers and processors of chemical substances and mixtures must maintain records and submit reports to EPA. EPA has promulgated the Preliminary Assessment Information Rule (PAIR) under TSCA section 8(a). EPA uses PAIR to collect information to identify, assess and manage human health and environmental risks from chemical substances, mixtures and categories. PAIR requires chemical manufacturers and importers to complete a standardized reporting form to help evaluate the potential for adverse human health and environmental effects caused by the manufacture or importation of identified chemical substances, mixtures or categories. Chemicals identified by EPA or any other federal agency, for which a justifiable information need for production, use or exposure-related data can be satisfied by the use of the PAIR PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5649 are proper subjects for TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rulemaking. In most instances the information that EPA receives from a PAIR report is sufficient to satisfy the information need in question. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 712). 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 about 30 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: Manufacturers or importers of chemical substances, mixtures or categories. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Estimated No. of Respondents: 11. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 580 hours. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $48,972. Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects a decrease of 2,775 hours (from 3,355 hours to 580 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory. This decrease is attributable to a reduction in the assumed number of PAIR reports filed annually, and in a reduction in the annual average numbers of respondents (reporting sites). The change in burden represents an adjustment. E:\FR\FM\03FEN1.SGM 03FEN1 5650 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 22 / Thursday, February 3, 2005 / Notices Dated: January 27, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Title: TSCA Section 4 Test Rules, Consent Orders, Test Rule Exemptions, and Voluntary Data Submission. Abstract: Section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is designed to assure that chemicals that may pose serious risks to human health or the environment undergo testing by manufacturers or processors, and that the results of such testing are made available to EPA. EPA uses the information collected under the authority of TSCA section 4 activity to assess risks associated with the manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal of a chemical, and to support any necessary regulatory action with respect to that chemical. EPA must assure that appropriate tests are performed on a chemical if it decides: (1) That a chemical being considered under TSCA section 4(a) may pose an ‘‘unreasonable risk’’ or is produced in ‘‘substantial’’ quantities that may result in substantial or significant human exposure or substantial environmental release of the chemical; (2) that additional data are needed to determine or predict the impacts of the chemical’s manufacture, processing, distribution, use or disposal; and (3) that testing is needed to develop such data. Rules and consent orders under TSCA section 4 require that one manufacturer or processor of a subject chemical perform the specified testing and report the results of that testing to EPA. TSCA section 4 also allows a manufacturer or processor of a subject chemical to apply for an exemption from the testing requirement if that testing will be or has been performed by another party. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 790). 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.

    Title: TSCA Sec. 8(a) Preliminary Assessment Information Rule 
(PAIR).
    Abstract: Section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 
authorizes EPA to promulgate rules under which manufacturers, importers 
and processors of chemical substances and mixtures must maintain 
records and submit reports to EPA. EPA has promulgated the Preliminary 
Assessment Information Rule (PAIR) under TSCA section 8(a). EPA uses 
PAIR to collect information to identify, assess and manage human health 
and environmental risks from chemical substances, mixtures and 
categories. PAIR requires chemical manufacturers and importers to 
complete a standardized reporting form to help evaluate the potential 
for adverse human health and environmental effects caused by the 
manufacture or importation of identified chemical substances, mixtures 
or categories. Chemicals identified by EPA or any other federal agency, 
for which a justifiable information need for production, use or 
exposure-related data can be satisfied by the use of the PAIR are 
proper subjects for TSCA section 8(a) PAIR rulemaking. In most 
instances the information that EPA receives from a PAIR report is 
sufficient to satisfy the information need in question.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 
CFR part 712). 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 about 
30 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: Manufacturers or importers of 
chemical substances, mixtures or categories.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 11.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 580 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $48,972.
    Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects a decrease of 
2,775 hours (from 3,355 hours to 580 hours) in the total estimated 
respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory. This 
decrease is attributable to a reduction in the assumed number of PAIR 
reports filed annually, and in a reduction in the annual average 
numbers of respondents (reporting sites). The change in burden 
represents an adjustment.
