Title: Health and Safety Data
Reporting, Submission of Lists and
Copies of Health and Safety Studies
[TSCA Section 8(d)].
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
0575.10, OMB Control Number 2070–
0004.
Abstract: Section 8(d) of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA) and 40
CFR part 716 require manufacturers and
processors of chemicals to submit lists
and copies of health and safety studies
relating to the health and/or
environmental effects of certain
chemical substances and mixtures. In
order to comply with the reporting
requirements of section 8(d),
respondents must search their records to
identify any health and safety studies in
their possession, copy and process
relevant studies, list studies that are
currently in progress, and submit this
information to EPA.
EPA uses this information to
construct a complete picture of the
known effects of the chemicals in
question, leading to determinations by
EPA of whether additional testing of the
chemicals is required. The information
enables EPA to base its testing decisions
on the most complete information
available and to avoid demands for
testing that may be duplicative. EPA
will use information obtained via this
collection to support its investigation of
the risks posed by chemicals and, in
particular, to support its decisions on
whether to require industry to test
chemicals under section 4 of TSCA.
Responses to the collection of
information are mandatory (see 40 CFR
part 716). Respondents may claim all or
part of a notice as CBI. EPA will
disclose information that is covered by
a CBI claim only to the extent permitted
by, and in accordance with, the
procedures in 40 CFR part 2.
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 CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9 and included on the related
collection instrument or form, if
applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to be 19 hours per
respondent. Burden is the total time,
effort or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install and utilize
E:\FR\FM\19MYN1.SGM 19MYN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 97 / Friday, May 19, 2006 / Notices
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are companies that manufacture,
process, import, or distribute in
commerce chemical substances or
mixtures.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Estimated total/average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 34.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 1,278 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$61,129.
Changes in Burden Estimates: There
is a decrease of 1,066 hours (from 2,334
hours to 1,278 hours) in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the information
collection request most recently
approved by OMB. This change is due
to adjustments in the estimates to better
reflect EPA’s experience with the 1998
revisions to the TSCA section 8(d)
reporting standards that reduced
reporting burden. The last ICR renewal
estimated reporting burden by
projecting responses based on historical
reporting from rules prior to the 1998
revisions. The data used to project
future responses for this ICR renewal are
limited to reports for chemicals added
to the section 8(d) list after the 1998
revisions. The new estimates are based
solely on experience with the 2004 list
of section 8(d) chemicals (the first
chemicals added to the list since the
1998 revisions to the regulations). As a
result, EPA has reduced the estimated
number of reports that will be submitted
in the future. This change is an
adjustment.
