Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 216 / Thursday, November 7, 2024 / Notices
I. What information is EPA particularly
interested in?
Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA
specifically solicits comments and
information to enable it to:
1. 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.

II. What information collection activity
or ICR does this action apply to?
Title: Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) Section 4 Test Orders for the
Standardized Testing of Per-and
Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).
EPA ICR No.: 2797.01.
OMB Control No.: 2070–NEW.
ICR status: This ICR is for a new
information collection activity. Under
the PRA, 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. 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.
Abstract: This ICR covers the
information collection activities
associated with the submission of
information to EPA pursuant to TSCA
section 4 for Test Orders on PFAS (15
U.S.C. 2603). Under TSCA, EPA has the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
authority to issue orders or rules
designed to gather or develop
information on chemical substances and
mixtures. 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. If you have any
