TSCA section 8(b) specifically requires that EPA compile and keep current a list of chemical substances manufactured or processed for commercial purposes in the United States. That mandate was amended in 2016 and TSCA section 8(b)(4) requires EPA to designate chemical substances on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory as either ‘‘active’’ or ‘‘inactive’’ in U.S. commerce. The first TSCA Inventory with all chemical substances designated as ‘‘active’’ or ‘‘inactive’’ published in February 2019. Starting August 5, 2019, manufacturers and processors are required to notify EPA before reintroducing inactive substances into U.S. commerce. The implementing regulations allow manufacturers and processors to notify EPA that it must change the commercial activity designation of the subject chemical substance from inactive to active on the TSCA Inventory. This ICR covers that notice, which is made online using EPA Form No. 9600–06 (Notice of Activity Form B). Other one-time activities that are covered by the existing ICR are now complete. The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here: Form Numbers: EPA Form Number 9600–06, Notice of Activity Form B. Respondents/Affected Entities: Potential respondents to the information collection activities covered by this ICR are expected to include entities that manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process chemical substances that are regulated under TCSA. These entities are typically identified under North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes 325 (Chemical Manufacture) and 324 (Petroleum and Coal Products). Although such entities are generally companies, respondents can include anyone who engages in the covered activities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 710).

Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 1,174,682 hours in the total estimated burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is largely the result of the completion of several activities associated with the initial rule familiarization and one-time reporting activities (¥1,174,608 hours); a decrease in the estimated number of respondents that will need to register for CDX or otherwise update their CDX registrations (¥85 hours); and the addition of CBI substantiation burden associated with the 2020 rule amendments (+7 hours). This additional burden is only applicable to submissions that include CBI claims for specific chemical identities, which are expected to be five percent of submissions.

    Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) addresses the 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements under section 8(b) of the 
Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) that are associated with the TSCA 
Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory), as codified in 40 CFR 
part 710. TSCA section 8(b) specifically requires that EPA compile and 
keep current a list of chemical substances manufactured or processed 
for commercial purposes in the United States. That mandate was amended 
in 2016 and TSCA section 8(b)(4) requires EPA to designate chemical 
substances on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory as either 
``active'' or ``inactive'' in U.S. commerce. The first TSCA Inventory 
with all chemical substances designated as ``active'' or ``inactive'' 
published in February 2019. Starting August 5, 2019, manufacturers and 
processors are required to notify EPA before reintroducing inactive 
substances into U.S. commerce. The implementing regulations allow 
manufacturers and processors to notify EPA that it must change the 
commercial activity designation of the subject chemical substance from 
inactive to active on the TSCA Inventory. This ICR covers that notice, 
which is made online using EPA Form No. 9600-06 (Notice of Activity 
Form B). Other one-time activities that are covered by the existing ICR 
are now complete.
    The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related 
materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities 
and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:
    Form Numbers: EPA Form Number 9600-06, Notice of Activity Form B.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Potential respondents to the 
information collection activities covered by this ICR are expected to 
include entities that manufacture (defined by statute to include 
import) or process chemical substances that are regulated under TCSA. 
These entities are typically identified under North American Industrial 
Classification System (NAICS) codes 325 (Chemical Manufacture) and 324 
(Petroleum and Coal Products). Although such entities are generally 
companies, respondents can include anyone who engages in the covered 
activities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 710).
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 20 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 234 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated burden: $17,795 (per year), which includes no 
annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 1,174,682 hours in 
the total estimated burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB. This decrease is largely the result of the completion of several 
activities associated with the initial rule familiarization and one-
time reporting activities (-1,174,608 hours); a decrease in the 
estimated number of respondents that will need to register for CDX or 
otherwise update their CDX registrations (-85 hours); and the addition 
of CBI substantiation burden associated with the 2020 rule amendments 
(+7 hours). This additional burden is only applicable to submissions 
that include CBI claims for specific chemical identities, which are 
expected to be five percent of submissions. This change is considered 
an adjustment.
