Abstract: EPA’s Design for the Environment (DfE) Formulator Product Recognition Program formally recognizes safer products where all ingredients have an environmental and human health profile showing that they are the safest in their functional use class. Under the encouragement of this VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:18 Jun 24, 2013 Jkt 229001 program, leading companies have made great progress in developing safer, highly effective chemical products. Since the program’s inception in 1997, formulators have used the program as a portal to OPPT’s unique chemical expertise, information resources, and guidance on greener chemistry. DfE Formulator partners enjoy Agency recognition, including the use of the DfE logo on products with the safest possible formulations. In the future, EPA expects much greater program participation due to rising demand for safer products. This information collection enables EPA to accommodate participation by more than nine formulators each year and to enhance program transparency. Information collection activities associated with this program will assist the Agency in meeting the goals of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) (42 U.S.C. 13101 et seq.) by providing resources and recognition for businesses committed to promoting and using safer chemical products. In turn, the program will help businesses meet corporate sustainability goals by providing the means to, and an objective measure of, environmental stewardship. Investment analysts and advisers seek these types of measures in evaluating a corporation’s sustainability profile and investment worthiness. Formulator Program partnership is an important impetus for prioritizing and completing the transition to safer chemical products. The Formulator Program is also needed to promote greater use of safer chemical products by companies unaware of the benefits of such a change. EPA has tailored its request for information, and especially the Formulator Product Recognition Program application forms, to ensure that the Agency requests only that information essential to verify applicants’ eligibility for recognition. Responses to the collection of information are voluntary. 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. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are establishments engaged in the formulation of end-use, for-sale chemical products, identified by NAICS codes 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), 325611 (Soap and Other Detergent Manufacturing), 325612 (Polish and Other Sanitation Good Manufacturing), 325910 (Printing Ink Manufacturing), 325992 (Photographic Film, Paper, Plate, and Chemical PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Manufacturing), and 325998 (All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 66 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 1,193 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $396,800 per year, including operation and maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 502 hours, as well as a cost increase of $14,000, in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA’s higher estimate of the number of likely respondents to this information collection. This change is an adjustment. The Supporting Statement provides additional detail concerning the change in burden estimate. Richard T. Westlund, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
