Abstract: This Information Collection Request (ICR) renewal supports activities to implement the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), Subpart J (40 CFR 300.900), "Use of Dispersants and Other Chemicals". Subpart J requirements include criteria for listing oil spill mitigating agents on the NCP Product Schedule. Under Subpart J, respondents who want to add a product to the Schedule must submit technical product data to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Specifically, Subpart J requires the manufacturer to conduct specific toxicity and effectiveness tests and submit the corresponding technical product data along with other detailed information to the EPA Office of Emergency Management. EPA uses product information when responding to oil spills in accordance with the NCP.
