The project is on the Farmington River near the village of Collinsville, Hartford County, Connecticut. The project does not occupy federal lands. An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of staff’s review of the proposal. In the application, the applicant proposes to rehabilitate the project, install a Kaplan turbine with a total installed capacity of 1,000 kilowatts, provide upstream and downstream fish and eel passage, and provide additional environmental measures, including water quality monitoring, mussel relocation, and recreation. The applicant requests the Commission to reinstate the license with a new term of 40–50 years. The EA contains Commission staff’s analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed action and concludes that approval of the proposal would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The EA is available for review and reproduction at the Commission’s Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission’s website at https:// www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘elibrary’’ link. Enter the docket number (P–10822) in the docket number field to access the document.

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.

Abstract: This ICR pertains to the form that the chemical industry uses exclusively in submitting requests to EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) for correcting misreported chemical identities of substances listed on the Inventory. Such requests pertain only to errors discovered in the original submissions to the Inventory when established in 1979. Section 8(b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to compile and keep current an Inventory of Chemical Substances in Commerce, which is a listing of chemical substances manufactured, imported, and processed for commercial purposes in the United States. The purpose of the Inventory is to define, for the purpose of TSCA, what chemical substances exist in U.S. commerce. Since the Inventory thereby performs a regulatory function by distinguishing between existing chemicals and new chemicals, it is imperative that the Inventory be accurate. However, from time to time, EPA or respondents discover that substances have been incorrectly described by reporting companies. Reported substances have been unintentionally misidentified as a result of simple typographical errors, the misidentification of substances, or the lack of sufficient technical or analytical information to characterize fully the exact chemical substances. EPA has developed guidelines (45 FR 50544, July 29, 1980) under which incorrectly described substances listed in the Inventory can be corrected. The correction mechanism ensures the accuracy of the Inventory without imposing an unreasonable burden on the chemical industry. Without the Inventory correction mechanism, a company that submitted incorrect information would have to file a premanufacture notification (PMN) under TSCA section 5 to place the correct chemical substance on the Inventory whenever the previously reported substance is found to be misidentified. This would impose a much greater burden on both EPA and the submitter than the existing correction mechanism. This information collection applies to reporting and recordkeeping activities associated with the correction of misreported chemical substances found on the TSCA Inventory. Respondents may claim all or part of a response confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29555 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. Form numbers: TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory Reporting Form C (EPA Form 7710–3C). Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or importers of chemical substances, mixtures or categories listed on the TSCA Inventory and regulated under TSCA section 8, who had reported to EPA during the initial effort to establish the TSCA Inventory in 1979, and who need to make a correction to that submission. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Total estimated number of respondents: 9. Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 39.24 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $3,029.72 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is increase of 19 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects program changes in CBI substantiation requirements, as enacted in the Frank R Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act for the 21st Century, which amended TSCA in 2016. This change is the result of a program change. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

2070-0145) is currently scheduled to expire on June 30, 2018. Under OMB 
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the

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

The OMB control numbers are displayed either by publication in the

    Abstract: This ICR pertains to the form that the chemical industry 
uses exclusively in submitting requests to EPA's Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) for correcting misreported chemical 
identities of substances listed on the Inventory. Such requests pertain 
only to errors discovered in the original submissions to the Inventory 
when established in 1979.
    Section 8(b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires 
EPA to compile and keep current an Inventory of Chemical Substances in 
Commerce, which is a listing of chemical substances manufactured, 
imported, and processed for commercial purposes in the United States. 
The purpose of the Inventory is to define, for the purpose of TSCA, 
what chemical substances exist in U.S. commerce. Since the Inventory 
thereby performs a regulatory function by distinguishing between 
existing chemicals and new chemicals, it is imperative that the 
Inventory be accurate. However, from time to time, EPA or respondents 
discover that substances have been incorrectly described by reporting 
companies. Reported substances have been unintentionally misidentified 
as a result of simple typographical errors, the misidentification of 
substances, or the lack of sufficient technical or analytical 
information to characterize fully the exact chemical substances. EPA 
has developed guidelines (45 FR 50544, July 29, 1980) under which 
incorrectly described substances listed in the Inventory can be 
corrected. The correction mechanism ensures the accuracy of the 
Inventory without imposing an unreasonable burden on the chemical 
industry. Without the Inventory correction mechanism, a company that 
submitted incorrect information would have to file a pre-manufacture 
notification (PMN) under TSCA section 5 to place the correct chemical 
substance on the Inventory whenever the previously reported substance 
is found to be misidentified. This would impose a much greater burden 
on both EPA and the submitter than the existing correction mechanism. 
This information collection applies to reporting and recordkeeping 
activities associated with the correction of misreported chemical 
substances found on the TSCA Inventory.
    Respondents may claim all or part of a response 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.
    Form numbers: TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory Reporting Form C 
(EPA Form 7710-3C).
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or importers of 
chemical substances, mixtures or categories listed on the TSCA 
Inventory and regulated under TSCA section 8, who had reported to EPA 
during the initial effort to establish the TSCA Inventory in 1979, and 
who need to make a correction to that submission.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Total estimated number of respondents: 9.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 39.24 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $3,029.72 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is increase of 19 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase reflects program changes in CBI 
substantiation requirements, as enacted in the Frank R Lautenberg 
Chemical Safety Act for the 21st Century, which amended TSCA in 2016. 
This change is the result of a program change.
