the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
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 oil spill control 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
(FOSCs), 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 Land
and Emergency Management. For
example, a dispersant must exceed the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:30 Mar 24, 2016
Jkt 238001
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 FOSCs,
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
miscellaneous oil spill control agents.
As of March 2016, 118 products are
listed on the Schedule. It is estimated
that 11 products per year will be
submitted to EPA for listing on the
Schedule. Over the three-year period
covered by this ICR, an estimated 33
products may be listed. Additionally,
EPA estimates that approximately 10
manufacturers will submit information
to obtain sorbent certifications. The
annual public reporting burden will be
315 hours. The total annual cost
(including labor and non-labor) to
manufacturers under Subpart J is
estimated to be $89,590.
At 40 CFR 300.920(c), respondents are
allowed to assert that certain
information in the technical product
data submissions is confidential
business information. EPA will handle
such claims pursuant to the provisions
in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. Such
information must be submitted
separately from non-confidential
information, clearly identified, and
clearly marked ‘‘Confidential Business
Information.’’ If the applicant fails to
make such a claim at the time of
submittal, EPA may make the
information available to the public
without further notice.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Respondents include, but are not
limited to, manufacturers of
bioremediation agents, dispersants,
surface collecting agents, surface
washing agents, miscellaneous oil spill
control agents, and other chemical
agents and biological additives used as
countermeasures against oil spills.
Affected private industries can be
expected to fall within the following
industrial classifications:
• Manufacturers of industrial
inorganic chemicals (SIC 281/NAICS
325188),
• Manufacturers of industrial organic
chemicals (SIC 286/NAICS 325199), and
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
16175
• Manufacturers of miscellaneous
chemical products (SIC 289/NAICS
325988).
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
An oil spill mitigating agent does not
have to be listed on the Product
Schedule unless a manufacturer wants
the product to be applied as part of an
emergency response to an oil spill. If so,
then certain mandatory product testing
and information is required to be
considered for listing on the Schedule.
(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).
Estimated number of respondents:
Eleven per year. There are 100
manufacturers and 118 products (27
bioremediation agents, 19 dispersants,
15 miscellaneous oil spill control
agents, and 55 surface washing agents,
2 surface collecting agents) currently
listed on the January, 2016 Schedule.
EPA estimates that manufacturers will
apply to list 11 products on the
Schedule each year, including 2
bioremediation agents, 3 dispersants, 2
miscellaneous oil spill control agents, 1
surface collecting agent, and 3 surface
washing agents. Over a three-year
period, EPA anticipates that
manufacturers will apply to list a total
of 6 bioremediation agents, 9
dispersants, 6 miscellaneous oil spill
control agents, 3 surface collecting
agent, and 9 surface washing agents on
the Schedule.
Frequency of response: Each
manufacturer responds one time per
product submittal.
Total estimated burden: 315 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $72,450 (per
year)
Changes in Estimates: There is a
minor increase in burden hours and
cost. All regulatory requirements are the
same as in the 2010 and 2013 ICRs.
