Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
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: The authority for these
requirements is sections 311 and 312 of
the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act
(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11011, 11012).
EPCRA Section 311 requires owners and
operators of facilities subject to OSHA
Hazard Communication Standard (HCS)
to submit a list of chemicals or MSDSs
(for those chemicals that exceed
thresholds, specified in 40 CFR part
370) to the State Emergency Response
Commission (SERC) or Tribal
Emergency Response Commission
(TERC), Local Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC) or Tribal Emergency
Planning Committee (TEPC) and the

local fire department (LFD) with
jurisdiction over their facility. This is a
one-time requirement unless a facility
becomes subject to the regulations or
has updated information on the
hazardous chemicals that were already
submitted by the facility. EPCRA
Section 312 requires owners and
operators of facilities subject to OSHA
HCS to submit an inventory form (for
those chemicals that exceed the
thresholds, specified in 40 CFR part
370) to the SERC (or TERC), LEPC (or
TEPC), and LFD with jurisdiction over
their facility. This inventory form, Tier
II (Emergency and Hazardous Chemical
Inventory Form), is to be submitted on
March 1 of each year and must include
the inventory of hazardous chemicals
present at the facility in the previous
calendar year.
The burden estimates, numbers and
types of respondents, wage rates and
unit and total costs for this ICR renewal
will be revised and updated as
necessary during the 60-day comment
period while the ICR Supporting
Statement is undergoing review at OMB.
Form Numbers: Tier II Emergency and
Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form,
EPA Form No. 8700–30.
Respondents/affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this ICR
are manufacturers and nonmanufacturers required to have
available a Material Safety Data Sheet
(or Safety Data Sheet) under the OSHA
HCS.
Respondent’s Obligation To Respond:
Mandatory (Sections 311 and 312 of
EPCRA).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
393,552. This figure will be updated as
needed during the 60-day OMB review
period.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Total Estimated Burden: 5,915,254
hours (per year). This figure will be
updated as needed during the 60-day
OMB review period. Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total Estimated Cost: $6,389,900 (per
year), includes annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs. This
figure will be updated with most recent
available wage rates from BLS and to
account for any changes in O&M costs,
burden and number of respondents.
Changes in Estimates: Any change in
burden will be described and explained
in this section when the updated ICR
Supporting Statement is completed
during the 60-day OMB review period.

Abstract: The authority for the

Sections 302, 303, and 304 of the
Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 1986 (42
U.S.C. 11002, 11003, and 11004).
EPCRA established broad emergency
planning and facility reporting
requirements. Section 302 requires
facilities to notify their state emergency
response commission (SERC) and the
local emergency planning committee

(LEPC) that the facility is subject to
emergency planning. This activity was
completed soon after the law was
passed. Only new facilities that may
become subject to these requirements
must notify the SERC and the LEPC.
Currently covered facilities are required
to notify the LEPC of any changes that
occur at the facility which would be
relevant to emergency planning. Section
303 requires the LEPC to prepare local
emergency response plans for their
planning district using the information
provided by facilities under Section
302. LEPC may request any information
from facilities necessary to develop
emergency response plans. Emergency
response plans were developed within a
few months after the law was passed.
LEPCs are required to review and
update the plan at least annually or
more frequently as changes occur in the
community. Section 304 requires
facilities to report to SERCs and LEPCs
releases in excess of the reportable
quantities listed for each extremely
hazardous substance (EHS). This ICR
also covers the notification and the
written follow-up required under
Section 304. The implementing
regulations are codified in 40 CFR part
355.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are those which have a threshold
planning quantity of an extremely
hazardous substance (EHS) listed in 40
CFR part 355, Appendix A and those
which have a release of any of the EHSs
above a reportable quantity. Entities
more likely to be affected by this action
may include chemical manufacturers,
retailers, petroleum refineries, utilities,
etc.
Respondent’s Obligation To Respond:
Mandatory under EPCRA Sections 302,
303 and 304.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
108,556.
Frequency of Response: EPCRA
Section 302 reporting is a one-time
notification unless there are changes to
the reported information; EPCRA
Section 304 notification is only when a
release occurs from a facility.
Total Estimated Burden: 259,456
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total Estimated Cost: $10.85 million
(per year), including $68,867 annual
operations and maintenance costs.
There are no capital costs associated
with this ICR.
Changes in Estimates: The number of
facilities subject to Section 302 is
95,000, which is the same as in the
previous ICR. There is an increase of
4,500 hours in the total estimated
