Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 09/29/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/30/1995
Terms of Clearance: This ICR for the Use and Exposure Information Voluntary Project is approved for two years. If EPA seeks renewal of this ICR, it shall demonstrate to OMB's satisfaction that the information is being used in the RM-1 process primarily. Examples of how the data has improved risk assessments would be helpful in presenting the utility of the data. This approval to collect use informa- tion is based on EPA's need to conduct assessments of specific chemicals. EPA would need to demonstrate the need for broader collection of use information in a separate ICR. The action taken by OMB for this ICR is independent of any future use data considerations. EPA should not take any negative action against respondents that do not participate in this voluntary survey. In addition, EPA should work with chemical manufacturers to stress the importance of maintaining confidential business information to processors and end users of chemicals whereby use information may jeopardize the competitiveness of these firms. EPA plans to carryout this data collection with the assistance and cooperation of the Chemical Manufacturers Association and the Synthetic Or- ganic Chemical Manufacturers Association. EPA may use this ICR twice a year.
