III. What Information Collection
Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply
to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are companies
that manufacture, process, import, or
distribute in commerce chemical
substances or mixtures.
Title: Recordkeeping and Reporting
Requirements for Allegations of
Significant Adverse Reactions to Human
Health or the Environment.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1031.09,
OMB Control No. 2070–0017.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on January 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: The Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) section 8(c) requires
companies that manufacture, process, or
distribute chemicals to maintain records
of significant adverse reactions to health
or the environment alleged to have been
caused by such chemicals. Since section
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:01 Jun 17, 2008
Jkt 214001
8(c) includes no automatic reporting
provision, EPA can obtain and use the
information contained in company files
only by inspecting those files or
requiring reporting of records that relate
to specific substances of concern.
Therefore, under certain conditions, and
using the provisions found in 40 CFR
part 717, EPA may require companies to
report such allegations to the Agency.
EPA uses such information on a casespecific basis to corroborate suspected
adverse health or environmental effects
of chemicals already under review by
EPA. The information is also useful to
identify trends of adverse effects across
the industry that may not be apparent to
any one chemical company.
Responses to the collection of
information are mandatory (see 40 CFR
part 717). 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 range between 1 minute
and 8 hours per response, depending
upon the nature of the 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 which have subsequently
changed; 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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 13,521.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 0.43.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
23,536 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$1,486,311. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $1,486,311 and an
estimated cost of $0 for capital
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates
from the Last Approval?
There is a decrease of 1,012 hours
(from 24,548 hours to 23,536 hours) in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
decrease primarily reflects EPA’s
current estimate of the number of
employees in affected respondent
companies. Because the allegation rate
is based on the number of employees,
the decrease in the estimated number of
employees results in a decrease in total
allegations, and thus a reduction in
burden. This change is an adjustment.
V. What is the Next Step in the Process
for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval
process, please contact the technical
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
