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. 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency’s estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used. 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected. 4. 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 II.

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

TSCA section 4 authorities allow EPA to require the development of information related to chemicals and the use of prescribed ‘‘protocols and methodologies’’ to inform EPA and other federal agencies about chemical risks from manufacture, distribution in commerce, processing, use, or disposal of such substance or mixture, or any combination of such activities. The testing included in this ICR was informed by the National PFAS Testing Strategy. Data received pursuant to testing associated with this ICR will help inform the National PFAS Testing Strategy and any modifications to the Strategy. Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 137 hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 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: Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected are those that manufacture (including import) and processes chemical substances containing PFAS. The ICR includes a list of potentially affected entities with North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes provided to assist in determining potential applicability. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory, per 15 U.S.C. 2603. Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated number of potential respondents: 13. Total estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Total estimated annual burden hours: 29,162 hours. Total estimated annual respondent costs: $131,046,039 total costs, which includes $128,648,300, for laboratory costs. III. What is the next step in the process for this ICR? 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 approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
