ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0794.12, OMB Control No. 2070–0046. ICR Status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on October 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: Section 8(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires that any person who manufactures, imports, processes or distributes in commerce a chemical substance or mixture and which obtains information that reasonably supports the conclusion that such substance or mixture presents a substantial risk of injury to health or the environment must immediately inform EPA of such information. EPA E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1 srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 161 / Friday, August 21, 2009 / Notices routinely disseminates TSCA section 8(e) data it receives to other Federal agencies to provide information about newly discovered chemical hazards and risks. This information collection request addresses the above reporting requirement. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 15 U.S.C. 2607(e)). 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 average about 51 hours per response for initial TSCA section 8(e) submissions and 5 hours per response for follow-up or supplemental submissions. 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: Entities potentially affected by this action are companies that manufacture, import, process or distribute chemical substances or mixtures. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated No. of Respondents: 721. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 30,515 hours. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $2,057,588. Changes in Burden Estimates: There is an increase of 12,380 hours (from 18,135 hours to 30,515 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that currently in the OMB inventory. This increase reflects an increase in the number of anticipated TSCA section 8(e) submissions. This change is an adjustment. The Supporting Statement provides additional detail concerning the change in burden estimates. VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:22 Aug 20, 2009 Jkt 217001 Dated: August 17, 2009.
