ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on October 31, 2018. EPA previously announced and provided a 60-day public review and comment opportunity on the proposed renewal of this ICR in the Federal Register of July 31, 2018 (83 FR 36928) (FRL–9980–28). EPA received three comments during the comment period that have been addressed in the ICR and copies of which are available in the docket. 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Oct 26, 2018 Jkt 247001 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: This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with the statutory mandate in the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act of 2016, that requires EPA to compile and keep current a complete list of chemical substances manufactured (including imported) or processed in the United States. Through the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) regulation in 40 CFR part 711, EPA collects basic exposure-related manufacturing, processing, and use information for a subset of these chemical substances every four years, which is used by the Agency and others in a wide range of activities. The data collected is used by EPA and others 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. Respondents may claim information on the report 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. Form numbers: EPA Form No. 7740– 8. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are companies that manufacture (including import) chemical substances and mixtures in the United States. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (see TSCA section 8(b) and EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 711). Frequency of response: Reporting is required every four years. Total estimated number of respondents: 5,662. Total estimated burden: 716,024 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $56,959,323 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 73,179 hours in the total estimated burden compared with that approved by OMB. This decrease reflects a combination of program changes and adjustments. Program changes involve updated CBI substantiation requirements as a result PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of the 2016 amendments to TSCA (¥4,877 hours); and adjustments involve methodology corrections (¥184,158 hours) and an increase in the estimated number of respondents (+106,102 hours). The ICR provides a detailed analysis of the change in burden estimate. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: Universal Wastes, which include certain batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing lamps and thermostats, are generated in a variety of non-industrial settings present in nonhazardous waste management systems. Regulations at 40 CFR part 273, which govern the collection and management of Universal Wastes, are designed to ensure facilities collect these wastes and manage them in an appropriate hazardous waste management system. EPA collects notifications of Universal Waste management to obtain general information on handlers and to facilitate enforcement of the Part 273 regulations. EPA promulgated labeling and marking requirements and accumulation time limits to ensure that Universal Waste is being accumulated responsibly. EPA collects information on illegal Universal Waste shipments to enforce compliance with applicable regulations. Finally, EPA requires tracking of Universal Waste shipments to help ensure that Universal Waste is being properly treated, recycled, or disposed. Regulations at 40 CFR part 266 provide increased flexibility to facilities managing wastes commonly known as ‘‘Mixed Waste.’’ Mixed Wastes are lowlevel mixed waste (LLMW) and naturally occurring and/or acceleratorproduced radioactive material (NARM) containing hazardous waste, which are also regulated by the Atomic Energy Act. When specified eligibility criteria and conditions are met, LLMW and NARM are exempt from the definition of hazardous waste in Part 261. Although these wastes are exempt from RCRA manifest, transportation, and disposal requirements, facilities must still comply with the manifest, transportation, and disposal requirements under the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations. Section 266.345(a) requires that generators or treaters notify EPA or the Authorized State that they are E:\FR\FM\29OCN1.SGM 29OCN1
