The telephone number for the Docket Center is (202) 566–1744. For additional information about EPA’s public docket, visit https://www.epa.gov/ dockets. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on November 30, 2015. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Section 8(d) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and 40 CFR part 716 require manufacturers and processors of chemicals to submit lists and copies of health and safety studies relating to the health and/or environmental effects of certain chemical substances and mixtures. In order to comply with the reporting requirements of TSCA section 8(d), VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:44 Oct 08, 2015 Jkt 238001 respondents must search their records to identify any health and safety studies in their possession, copy and process relevant studies, list studies that are currently in progress, and submit this information to EPA. EPA uses this information to construct a complete picture of the known effects of the chemicals in question, leading to determinations by EPA of whether additional testing of the chemicals is required. The information enables EPA to base its testing decisions on the most complete information available and to avoid demands for testing that may be duplicative. EPA will use information obtained via this collection to support its investigation of the risks posed by chemicals and, in particular, to support its decisions on whether to require industry to test chemicals under section 4 of TSCA. This information collection request addresses the reporting requirements found in TSCA section 8(d). Respondents/Affected Entities: Persons who manufacture, process, or distribute in commerce chemical substances or mixtures, or who propose to do so. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory. (see 40 CFR part 716). Estimated total number of potential respondents: 119. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total burden: 1,605 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Estimated total costs: $116,551 (per year), includes no annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a net decrease of 6,778 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects in particular EPA’s withdrawal of a cadmium reporting rule, the burden for which is included in the currently approved ICR. In addition there was a smaller burden increase resulting from the one-time requirement for respondents to register with EPA’s CDX reporting system and to establish electronic signature agreements, plus correcting the estimated number of robust summaries submitted each year. This change is both a program change (in the case of the burden decrease due to the withdrawal of the cadmium rule) and an adjustment (for all other burden changes).

ACTION: Notice of annual adjustment factors for excess emissions penalty. AGENCY: The Acid Rain Program under title IV of the Clean Air Act provides for automatic excess emissions penalties in dollars per ton of excess emissions for sources that do not meet their annual Acid Rain emissions limitations. This notice states the dollars per ton excess emissions penalty amounts, which must be adjusted for each compliance year commensurate with changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), for compliance years 2015 and 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert L. Miller, Clean Air Markets Division (6204M), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460, at (202) 343–9077 or miller.robertl@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Acid Rain Program under title IV of the Clean Air Act limits annual sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions of fossil fuelfired utility units. Under the Acid Rain Program, affected sources must hold enough allowances to cover their sulfur dioxide emissions, and certain coalfired sources must meet an emission limit for nitrogen oxides. Under 40 CFR 77.6, sources that do not meet these requirements must pay a penalty without demand to the Administrator based on the number of excess tons emitted times $2,000 as adjusted by an annual adjustment factor, which must be published in the Federal Register. The annual adjustment factor for adjusting the penalty for excess emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides under 40 CFR part 77.6(b) for compliance year 2015 is 1.9089. This value is derived using the CPI for 1990 and 2014 (defined respectively at 40 CFR 72.2 as the CPI for August of the year before the specified year for all urban consumers) and results in an automatic penalty of $3,818 per excess SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\09OCN1.SGM 09OCN1

at OMB.
    Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., an agency may not conduct or

    Abstract: Section 8(d) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 
and 40 CFR part 716 require manufacturers and processors of chemicals 
to submit lists and copies of health and safety studies relating to the 
health and/or environmental effects of certain chemical substances and 
mixtures. In order to comply with the reporting requirements of TSCA 
section 8(d), respondents must search their records to identify any 
health and safety studies in their possession, copy and process 
relevant studies, list studies that are currently in progress, and 
submit this information to EPA.
    EPA uses this information to construct a complete picture of the 
known effects of the chemicals in question, leading to determinations 
by EPA of whether additional testing of the chemicals is required. The 
information enables EPA to base its testing decisions on the most 
complete information available and to avoid demands for testing that 
may be duplicative. EPA will use information obtained via this 
collection to support its investigation of the risks posed by chemicals 
and, in particular, to support its decisions on whether to require 
industry to test chemicals under section 4 of TSCA. This information 
collection request addresses the reporting requirements found in TSCA 
section 8(d).
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Persons who manufacture, process, or 
distribute in commerce chemical substances or mixtures, or who propose 
to do so.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory. (see 40 CFR part 
716).
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 119.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total burden: 1,605 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Estimated total costs: $116,551 (per year), includes no annualized 
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a net decrease of 6,778 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in 
the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects in particular 
EPA's withdrawal of a cadmium reporting rule, the burden for which is 
included in the currently approved ICR. In addition there was a smaller 
burden increase resulting from the one-time requirement for respondents 
to register with EPA's CDX reporting system and to establish electronic 
signature agreements, plus correcting the estimated number of robust 
summaries submitted each year. This change is both a program change (in 
the case of the burden decrease due to the withdrawal of the cadmium 
rule) and an adjustment (for all other burden changes).
