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’’). Subpart J of the NCP
governs the use of bioremediation
agents, dispersants, surface washing
agents, surface collecting agents,
sorbents, and miscellaneous agents in
response to oil spills in U.S. waters or
adjoining shorelines (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
300.900, 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. Section
300.910 of Subpart J addresses the
authorization of the use of products on
the Schedule and specifies the
conditions under which OSCs may
authorize the use of dispersants, other
chemicals, and other spill mitigating
substances.
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.
Form Numbers: None
Respondents/affected entities: Private
manufacturers.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Estimated number of respondents: 11
per year.
Frequency of response: Once.
Total estimated burden: 315 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $88,743 (per
year), includes $72,450 annualized
capitol or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 75 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to the
expectation that the number of
manufacturer respondents will decrease
from 14 to 11 per year.
