Guidance.’’ This guidance document is
intended to clarify the ‘‘strong
sensitizer’’ definition, assist
manufacturers in understanding how
CPSC staff would assess whether a
substance and/or product containing
that substance should be considered a
‘‘strong sensitizer,’’ and how the
Commission would make such a
determination. The staff guidance
document is available on the
Commission’s Web site and from the
Commission’s Office of the Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elsewhere
in this issue of the Federal Register, the
Commission is publishing a notice of
proposed rulemaking for the purpose of
revising the supplemental definition of
‘‘strong sensitizer’’ found at 16 CFR
1500.3(c)(5). The Commission is
proposing to revise the supplemental
definition of ‘‘strong sensitizer’’ due to
advancements in the science of
sensitization that have occurred since
the current supplemental definition of
‘‘strong sensitizer’’ was promulgated in
1986. Toward this end, the Commission
convened a panel of scientific experts
from academia, industry, and the
Federal Government who evaluated the
current definition in light of scientific
advances in the field of sensitization
and made recommendations for
proposed changes to the current
definition, which eliminate redundancy,
remove certain subjective factors,
incorporate new and future technology
for determining the sensitization
characteristics of substances, rank the
criteria for classification of strong
sensitizers in order of importance (e.g.,
human over animal data), define criteria
for ‘‘severity of reaction’’, and adopt a
weight-of-the-evidence approach to
determine the strength of the sensitizer.
Commission staff has prepared a
document titled, ‘‘Strong Sensitizer
Guidelines,’’ which explains and
clarifies each section of the proposed
‘‘strong sensitizer’’ supplemental

definition by explaining the current
scientific rationale underlying the
methodologies and analysis that staff
will consider when assessing whether a
substance is a strong sensitizer. The
CPSC expects that the guidance
document will assist manufacturers and
other stakeholders in understanding
how CPSC staff and the Commission
would assess whether a substance or
product containing a substance should
be considered a ‘‘strong sensitizer.’’ The
staff guidance document is available on
the Commission’s Web site and from the
Commission’s Office of the Secretary,
both listed in the ADDRESSES section of
this notice.

AGENCY:
The EIA has submitted the
Financial Reporting EIA–28 Survey
package to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance under
the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The Financial
Reporting System, Form EIA–28 collects
data used to analyze the energy
industry’s competitive environment as
well as energy industry resource
development, supply distribution, and
profitability issues. This is a request to
conduct a comprehensive voluntary
evaluation of an existing data collection
to inform a future redesign of the EIA–
28. This future redesign will measure
upstream oil and gas costs for
exploration and production for U.S.
companies’ foreign and domestic
operations. In order to successfully
inform this redesign, EIA will assess the
feasibility of collecting and measuring
upstream oil and gas costs for
exploration and production for U.S.
energy companies’ foreign and domestic
operations. EIA will work to identify the
policy goals and data needs of its
stakeholders with respect to the
collection and measurement of
upstream oil and gas costs. The goal of
this evaluation is to collect enough data
to successfully inform the future
redesign of the EIA–28.
