Abstract: The generic ICR addresses
the information collection activities
associated with the authorities provided
to EPA under TSCA section 4 (15 U.S.C.
2603), which allows EPA to require the
development of information related to
chemicals to inform EPA and other
federal agencies about chemical risks,
which in turn will inform decision
makers for purposes of prioritization,
risk evaluation and risk management of
those chemicals.
DATES:
This is a
proposed extension of the ICR which is
currently approved through December
31, 2023. 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 number.
Public comments were previously
requested via the Federal Register on
November 2, 2021, during a 60-day
comment period (86 FR 60460). This
notice allows for an additional 30 days
for public comments. 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

Respondents/affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this ICR
are manufacturers (including imports)
or processors of chemical substances of
mixtures, e.g., entities identified by
North American Industrial
Classification System Codes 325 and
324.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory per 15 U.S.C. 2603.
Estimated number of respondents:
263.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 114,561
hours (three year total). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated costs: $27,261,789
(three year total), including $17,725,254
capital or operation and maintenance
costs.
Changes in the estimates: The annual
estimated labor burden associated with
testing costs increased by 5,749 hours.
Updates were made to reflect testing
burden and labor costs for activities
associated with contacting laboratories
and arranging testing and sample
collection. In addition, the 5,749 also
accounts for the burden being merged
into this ICR that is associated with
activities associated with contacting
laboratories and arranging testing as
well as reviewing guidance documents
and pre-issuance outreach for Test
Orders. The estimated non-labor testing
costs increased due to inflation. With
the increase in testing costs as well as
increases in labor and overhead costs
over time, the annual costs to the
industry respondents increased by
$1,014,408.
