Abstract: The purpose of this ICR is to help provide data for EPA’s risk evaluations and risk management of existing chemicals under TSCA section 6 more efficiently and effectively. Under TSCA, EPA must gather information with sufficient detail about chemicals, including hazards, conditions of use, exposures, potentially exposed and susceptible subpopulations, health and environmental effects, benefits, reasonably ascertainable economic consequences, alternatives, and other information in a timely fashion to meet TSCA’s statutory timeframes. Therefore, EPA is requesting approval for a generic ICR to conduct surveys of respondents described below related to information collection for TSCA chemical risk evaluation and management. Surveys are defined as the collection of information from a common group through interviews or the application of questionnaires to a representative sample of that group. EPA would not collect information of a sensitive or private nature. However, respondents may claim information submitted as part of a survey as confidential. EPA generally treats this information as obtained under TSCA, such that confidentiality claims are subject to the provisions of TSCA section 14. Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR include chemical manufacturers (as long as the information requested does not duplicate information already in possession of the federal government), chemical users (including government agencies), processors, recyclers, chemical waste handlers, consumers of chemical-containing products, employees who may be exposed to the chemical evaluated, state and local regulators, non-governmental organizations, industry experts, and knowledgeable members of the public (including potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations). As such, there are no typical respondent NAICS codes and the respondents will vary depending on the conditions of use of each chemical under consideration. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated total number of potential respondents: 600. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total burden: 400 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Estimated total costs: $31,008 (per year), which includes no annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

II. General Information On April 10, 2020, the EPA published in the Federal Register (85 FR 20268) a request for public comment on any data, surveys, or studies to help assess consumer satisfaction with WaterSense labeled products, which could inform future product specification development. The EPA is also seeking input on how to design a study or studies to inform future reviews that incorporate customer satisfaction considerations. The results of these studies could inform future Agency action when developing criteria for labeling products in the WaterSense program. The EPA is also requesting input on whether it should include consumer satisfaction criteria into the WaterSense program guidelines and, if included, what criteria should be considered and how. The EPA also announced on April 10th the completion of the review of WaterSense product performance criteria as required under the America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018. The AWIA required the EPA to consider for review and revision, if necessary, specifications which were released prior to 2012. The EPA announced that it has completed its review and made the decision not to revise any specifications. Dated: May 27, 2020. Andrew D. Sawyers, Director, Office of Wastewater Management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents, which explain in 
detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available 
in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov. Out of an abundance of caution for members of the 
public and our staff, the EPA Docket Center and Reading Room was closed 
to public visitors on March 31, 2020, to reduce the risk of

    Abstract: The purpose of this ICR is to help provide data for EPA's 
risk evaluations and risk management of existing chemicals under TSCA 
section 6 more efficiently and effectively. Under TSCA, EPA must gather 
information with sufficient detail about chemicals, including hazards, 
conditions of use, exposures, potentially exposed and susceptible 
subpopulations, health and environmental effects, benefits, reasonably 
ascertainable economic consequences, alternatives, and other 
information in a timely fashion to meet TSCA's statutory timeframes. 
Therefore, EPA is requesting approval for a generic ICR to conduct 
surveys of respondents described below related to information 
collection for TSCA chemical risk evaluation and management. Surveys 
are defined as the collection of information from a common group 
through interviews or the application of questionnaires to a 
representative sample of that group.
    EPA would not collect information of a sensitive or private nature. 
However, respondents may claim information submitted as part of a 
survey as confidential. EPA generally treats this information as 
obtained under TSCA, such that confidentiality claims are subject to 
the provisions of TSCA section 14.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this ICR include chemical manufacturers (as long as the information 
requested does not duplicate information already in possession of the 
federal government), chemical users (including government agencies), 
processors, recyclers, chemical waste handlers, consumers of chemical-
containing products, employees who may be exposed to the chemical 
evaluated, state and local regulators, non-governmental organizations, 
industry experts, and knowledgeable members of the public (including 
potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations). As such, there are 
no typical respondent NAICS codes and the respondents will vary 
depending on the conditions of use of each chemical under 
consideration.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 600.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total burden: 400 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Estimated total costs: $31,008 (per year), which includes no 
annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
