Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 147 / Tuesday, July 31, 2018 / Notices
(CFR), after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40
CFR part 9, 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: The Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA), as amended by the
Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for
the 21st Century Act, requires EPA to
compile and keep current a complete
list of chemical substances
manufactured (including imported) or
processed in the United States. EPA
updates this inventory of chemicals
every four years by requiring
manufacturers, including importers, to
provide production volume, plant site
information and other chemical
manufacturing, processing, and use
information. Through the CDR
regulation, EPA collects basic exposurerelated manufacturing, processing, and
use information used by the Agency and
others in a wide range of activities This
information allows EPA to identify what
chemicals are currently in commerce
and to take appropriate regulatory
action as necessary. The information
collected enables EPA to better
understand and interpret the state of
U.S. chemical manufacturing,
processing, and use, and further
enhances EPA’s ability to identify,
evaluate, and manage potential
chemical risks. This ICR addresses the
collection of inventory-related
information.
Responses to the collection of
required information are mandatory (see
40 CFR part 710). Respondents may
claim all or part of a notice 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
described in TSCA section 14 and 40
CFR part 2.
Burden statement: The annual perresponse public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average
126.44 hours per year for the average
multi-chemical submission of 7.5
chemicals per site with 22% of reports
consisting of partial reports.
Additionally, for CDX electronic
reporting activities, the average per
response burden is estimated at .53
hours per registration for those
respondents not already registered in
CDX. Burden is defined in 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
The ICR Supporting Statement, which
is available in the docket along with
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:30 Jul 30, 2018
Jkt 244001
other related materials, provides a
detailed explanation of the collection
activities and the burden estimate that
is only briefly summarized here:
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this ICR
are companies that manufacture
(including import) or process chemical
substances, mixtures or categories into
the United States.
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 5,662.
Frequency of response: Every four
years (estimates below are on an annual
basis).
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
716,024 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$56,959,323. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $59,959,323 and an
estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
III. Are there changes in the estimates
from the last approval?
There is a decrease of 73,179 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
decrease reflects a combination of
program changes and adjustments.
Program changes involving updated CBI
substantiation requirements as a result
of the Lautenberg Act are estimated at
4,877 hours. Agency adjustments
include changes due to methodology
corrections at—184,158 hours, and
changes due to increased counts of sites
at 106,102 hours. The ICR supporting
statement provides a detailed analysis of
the change in burden estimate. This
change is an adjustment and the result
of a program change.
IV. What is the next step in the process
for this ICR?
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 pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal
Register document pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the
submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional
comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval
process, please contact the technical
person listed under FOR FURTHER

respondents to submit confidential
information to the FCC. If the applicants
wish to submit information which they
believe is confidential, they may request
confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
asked whether physical collocation in
remote terminals presents technical or
security concerns, and if so, whether
these concerns warrant modification of
its collocation rules. The Commission
asked whether incumbent LECs should
be required to provide requesting
carriers with demographic and other
information regarding particular remote
terminals similar to the information
available regarding incumbent LEC
central offices. Requesting carriers use
demographic and other information
obtained from incumbent LECs to
determine whether they wish to
collocate at particular remote terminals.
This proposed information collection in
the Second Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, FCC 98–147, will be used
by the Commission, state commissions,
and competitive carriers to facilitate the
deployment of advanced services and
other telecommunications services in
implementation of section 251(c)(6) of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. The number of respondents,
annual responses, and annual burden
has not changed.
