ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1250.09, OMB Control No. 2070–0075. ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved collection that is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2010. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: Submitters of information to EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) may claim all or part of the information 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. One such circumstance is covered by this ICR. Specifically, certain employees of companies working under contract to EPA require access to CBI collected under the authority of TSCA in order to perform their official duties. The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), which is responsible for VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 12, 2010 Jkt 223001 maintaining the security of TSCA CBI, requires that all individuals desiring access to TSCA CBI obtain and annually renew official clearance to TSCA CBI. As part of the process for obtaining TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires certain information about the contracting company and about each contractor employee requesting TSCA CBI clearance, primarily the name, EPA badge number or other identification of the employee, the type of TSCA CBI clearance requested and the justification for such clearance, and the signature of the employee to an agreement with respect to access to and use of TSCA CBI. Responses to the collection of information are voluntary, but failure to provide the requested information will prevent a contractor employee from obtaining clearance to TSCA CBI. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.6 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are companies under contract to the Environmental Protection Agency to provide certain services, whose employees must have access to TSCA confidential business information to perform their duties. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 13 (rounded up from 12.5). Estimated Number of Respondents: 30. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 601 hours. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $30,253. Changes in Burden Estimates: There is an increase of 155 hours (from 446 hours to 601 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the information collection most recently approved by OMB. This reflects an increase in the estimated number of contractor employees subject to this information collection. The increase is an adjustment. Dated: November 8, 2010.
