review and approval. At that time, EPA

Abstract: This Information Collection
Request (ICR) renewal supports
activities to implement the National Oil
and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP), Subpart J (40
CFR 300.900, ‘‘Use of Dispersants and
Other Chemicals’’).
The use of bioremediation agents,
dispersants, surface washing agents,
surface collecting agents and
miscellaneous agents in response to oil
spills in U.S. waters or adjoining
shorelines is governed by Subpart J of
the NCP regulation (40 CFR 300.900).
Subpart J requirements include criteria
for listing oil spill mitigating agents on
the NCP Product Schedule, hereafter
referred to as the Schedule. EPA’s
regulation, which is codified at 40 CFR
300.00, requires that EPA prepare a
schedule of ‘‘dispersants, other
chemicals, and other spill mitigating
devices and substances, if any, that may
be used in carrying out the NCP.’’ The
Schedule is required by section
311(d)(2)(G) of the Clean Water Act
(CWA), as amended by the Oil Pollution
Act of 1990. The Schedule is used by
federal On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs),
Regional Response Teams (RRTs), and
Area Planners to identify spill
mitigating agents in preparation for and
response to oil spills.
Under Subpart J, respondents who
want to add a product to the Schedule
must submit technical product data to
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA or Agency) as stipulated in
40 CFR 300.915. Specifically, Subpart J
requires the manufacturer to conduct
specific toxicity and effectiveness tests
and submit the corresponding technical
product data along with other detailed
information to the EPA Office of
Emergency Management, Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response. For
example, a dispersant must exceed the
50-percent (±5 percent) efficacy
threshold in order to be listed on the
Schedule. EPA places oil spill
mitigating agents on the Schedule if all
the required data are submitted and the
product satisfies all requirements and
meets or exceeds testing thresholds. The
Product Schedule is available to federal
OSCs, RRTs, and Area Committees for
determining the most appropriate
products to use in various spill
scenarios.
Products currently listed on the
Schedule are divided into five basic
categories: dispersants, surface washing
agents, surface collecting agents,
bioremediation agents, and
