Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are manufacturers and non-manufacturers required to have available a MSDS (or Safety Data Sheet (SDS)) under the OSHA HCS.

    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

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) 
of 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11011, 11012). EPCRA section 311 requires owners and 
operators of facilities subject to the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to submit a 
list of chemicals or Material Safety Data Sheets (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 the 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, the Tier II 
Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form, is to be submitted on 
or before March 1 of each year and must include the inventory of 
hazardous chemicals present at the facility in the previous calendar 
year. Currently, all states require facilities to submit the Federal 
Tier II form or the state-equivalent, including electronic submission.
    The burden estimates, numbers and types of respondents, wage rates 
and unit and total costs for this ICR renewal will be revised and 
updated if needed 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 non-manufacturers required to have 
available a MSDS (or Safety Data Sheet (SDS)) under the OSHA HCS.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (sections 311 and 312 
of EPCRA).
    Estimated number of respondents: 465,692. This figure includes 
3,052 LEPCs and SERCs and will be updated as needed during the 60-day 
OMB review period.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 6,825,633 hours (per year) (includes LEPCs 
and SERCs). 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: $312,284,992 (per year), includes annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs. This figure will be updated 
to account for any changes in O&M costs, burden and number of 
respondents during the 60-day OMB review period.
