Abstract: Section 103(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, requires the person in charge of a facility or vessel to immediately notify the National Response Center (NRC) of a hazardous substance release into the environment if the amount of the release equals or exceeds the substance’s reportable quantity (RQ) limit. The RQs for the hazardous substance can be found in Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4. Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) as amended, requires the person in charge of a vessel to immediately notify the NRC of an oil spill into U.S. navigable waters if the spill causes a sheen, violates applicable water quality standards, or causes a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the surface of the water or upon adjoining shorelines. The reporting of a hazardous substance release that is at or above the substance’s RQ allows the federal government to determine whether a federal response action is required to control or mitigate any potential adverse effects to public health or welfare or the environment. Likewise, the reporting of oil spills allows the federal government to determine whether cleaning up the oil spill is required to mitigate or prevent damage to public health or VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:16 Mar 15, 2022 Jkt 256001 welfare or the environment. The hazardous substance and oil release information collected under CERCLA section 103(a) and CWA section 311 also is available to EPA program offices and other federal agencies that use the information to evaluate the potential need for additional regulations, new permitting requirements for specific substances or sources, or improved emergency response planning. Release notification information is stored in EPA’s WebEOC, a web-based crisis management system which supports response management for significant incidents and daily operations in the Regional Response Centers and EPA’s Headquarters Emergency Operations Center. State and local government authorities and the regulated community use release information for purposes of local emergency response planning. The public has access to release information through the Freedom of Information Act. The public may request release information for purposes of maintaining an awareness of what types of releases are occurring in different localities and what actions, if any, are being taken to protect public health and welfare and the environment. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Facilities and vessels that may have releases of any hazardous substances or oil at or above its RQ. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory under CERCLA section 103 (a). Estimated number of respondents: 19,450. Frequency of response: As releases occur from a facility or a vessel. Total estimated burden: 19,839 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $553,337 (per year), which includes no capital or operation and maintenance costs associated with this ICR. Changes in Estimates: Based on actual NRC release notifications from the previous ICR period, the projected number of annual release notifications in this renewal (19,450) is slightly higher than what EPA projected in the previous ICR (18,447). This resulted in a higher total estimated respondent burden of 19,839 hours for this ICR renewal compared to 18,816 hours in the previous renewal.

    Abstract: Section 103(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, 
requires the person in charge of a facility or vessel to immediately 
notify the National Response Center (NRC) of a hazardous substance 
release into the environment if the amount of the release equals or 
exceeds the substance's reportable quantity (RQ) limit. The RQs for the 
hazardous substance can be found in Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4. 
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) as amended, requires the 
person in charge of a vessel to immediately notify the NRC of an oil 
spill into U.S. navigable waters if the spill causes a sheen, violates 
applicable water quality standards, or causes a sludge or emulsion to 
be deposited beneath the surface of the water or upon adjoining 
shorelines. The reporting of a hazardous substance release that is at 
or above the substance's RQ allows the federal government to determine 
whether a federal response action is required to control or mitigate 
any potential adverse effects to public health or welfare or the 
environment. Likewise, the reporting of oil spills allows the federal 
government to determine whether cleaning up the oil spill is required 
to mitigate or prevent damage to public health or welfare or the 
environment. The hazardous substance and oil release information 
collected under CERCLA section 103(a) and CWA section 311 also is 
available to EPA program offices and other federal agencies that use 
the information to evaluate the potential need for additional 
regulations, new permitting requirements for specific substances or 
sources, or improved emergency response planning.
    Release notification information is stored in EPA's WebEOC, a web-
based crisis management system which supports response management for 
significant incidents and daily operations in the Regional Response 
Centers and EPA's Headquarters Emergency Operations Center. State and 
local government authorities and the regulated community use release 
information for purposes of local emergency response planning. The 
public has access to release information through the Freedom of 
Information Act. The public may request release information for 
purposes of maintaining an awareness of what types of releases are 
occurring in different localities and what actions, if any, are being 
taken to protect public health and welfare and the environment.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities and vessels that may have 
releases of any hazardous substances or oil at or above its RQ.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under CERCLA section 
103 (a).
    Estimated number of respondents: 19,450.
    Frequency of response: As releases occur from a facility or a 
vessel.
    Total estimated burden: 19,839 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $553,337 (per year), which includes no 
capital or operation and maintenance costs associated with this ICR.
    Changes in Estimates: Based on actual NRC release notifications 
from the previous ICR period, the projected number of annual release 
notifications in this renewal (19,450) is slightly higher than what EPA 
projected in the previous ICR (18,447). This resulted in a higher total 
estimated respondent burden of 19,839 hours for this ICR renewal 
compared to 18,816 hours in the previous renewal.
