Terms of Clearance: The previous Terms of Clearance for this Information Collection stated: "This Information Collection is approved with the understanding that EPA will change its policy statement so that respondents have 30 days to provide TSCA 8(e) information to EPA. 30 days is the minimum amount of time in which an agency can require a respondent to provide information (5 CRF 1320.5 (d) (2) (ii))." EPA currently requires reporting within 15 business days. Because of EPA's failure to meet the terms of clearance, this ICR is approved for two years to enable EPA to make the requisite changes. This Information Collection is approved with the understanding that EPA will either change its policy statement so that respondents can meet the TSCA section 8(e) requirements to "immediately inform" EPA by providing the TSCA 8(e) information within 30 days or provide an explanation for adopting a more stringent reporting period. It is our understanding that EPA is in the process of revising its policy statement. The Agency should submit to OMB a report on the status of the policy statement 9 months after this approval.
