Title: Correction of Misreported Chemical Substances on the TSCA Inventory; EPA ICR No. 1741.06, OMB No. 2070–0145. ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved collection that is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2011. Under 5 CFR 1320.10, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: Section 8(b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (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 the original reporting company. 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 E:\FR\FM\17MRN1.SGM 17MRN1 srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 14656 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2011 / Notices 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. This information collection applies to reporting and recordkeeping activities associated with the correction of misreported chemical substances found on the TSCA Inventory. 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 about 2.25 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are manufacturers or importers of chemical substances, mixtures or categories listed on the TSCA Inventory and regulated under TSCA section 8, who had 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 average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated Number of Respondents: 9. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 20 hours. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,174. Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects no change in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory.

    Title: Correction of Misreported Chemical Substances on the TSCA 
Inventory; EPA ICR No. 1741.06, OMB No. 2070-0145.
    ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved 
collection that is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2011. Under 5 CFR 
1320.10, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection 
of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: Section 8(b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (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 the original reporting 
company. 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

[[Page 14656]]

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. This information collection applies to reporting 
and recordkeeping activities associated with the correction of 
misreported chemical substances found on the TSCA Inventory.
    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 about 
2.25 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are manufacturers or importers of chemical substances, 
mixtures or categories listed on the TSCA Inventory and regulated under 
TSCA section 8, who had 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 average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 9.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 20 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,174.
    Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects no change in the 
total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB 
inventory.
