proposed information collection for this
voluntary stewardship program for
nanoscale materials. In a separate
Federal Register document, EPA is
announcing the availability for public
review and comment of two draft
documents: ‘‘Concept Paper for the
Nanoscale Materials Stewardship
Program under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA)’’ and ‘‘TSCA
Inventory Status of Nanoscale
Substances—General Approach.’’
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before September 10, 2007.

I. What Should I Consider as I Prepare
My Comments for EPA?
A. Considerations Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, 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. Guidance issued by
OMB states that the term ’’practical
utility’’ refers to the usefulness of
information (considering its accuracy,
adequacy, and reliability) to carry out
the Agency’s functions in a timely
manner.
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.
B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments
You may find the following
suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as
possible and provide specific examples.
2. Describe any assumptions that you
used.
3. Provide copies of any technical
information and/or data you used that
support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or
costs, explain how you arrived at the
estimate that you provide.
5. Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns.
6. Offer alternative ways to improve
the collection activity.
7. Make sure to submit your
comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA,
be sure to identify the docket ID number
assigned to this action in the subject

PO 00000

Frm 00024

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

line on the first page of your response.
You may also provide the name, date,
and Federal Register citation.
C. Submitting CBI
Do not submit this information to EPA
through regulations.gov or e-mail.
Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI.
For CBI information in a disk or CD
ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the
outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI
and then identify electronically within
the disk or CD ROM the specific
information that is claimed as CBI. In
addition to one complete version of the
comment that includes information
claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment
that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
II. What Information Collection
Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply
to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this ICR are manufacturers,
importers, and processors of nanoscale
materials. Using the North American
Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes to assist you and others
in determining whether this action
might apply to certain entities,
potentially affected entities may
include, but are not limited to:
• Chemical manufacturers, importers,
and processors (NAICS code 325), e.g.,
persons who manufacture (defined by
TSCA to include import) or process
chemical substances.
Title: Information Collection in
Support of EPA’s Stewardship Program
for Nanoscale Materials.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2250.01,
OMB Control No. 2070–new.
ICR status: This ICR is for a new
information collection activity. 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. After approval by OMB, the
OMB control number for this ICR will
be displayed by publication in the
Federal Register and by the inclusion of
the paperwork reduction notice in the
optional form and instructions.
Abstract: EPA intends to initiate a
voluntary information collection to
assemble all known or reasonably
ascertainable information from
manufacturers, importers, and
processors of nanoscale materials who
are participating in the voluntary
Stewardship Program for Nanoscale
Materials. EPA also intends to

E:\FR\FM\12JYN1.SGM

12JYN1

rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 133 / Thursday, July 12, 2007 / Notices
collaborate with participating
manufacturers, importers, and
processors of nanoscale materials, and
other stakeholders in an effort to
generate more detailed information of
certain specific nanoscale materials.
Under this second effort OPPT and
program participants will work together
to generate data and analyses that will
more fully characterize certain
nanoscale materials and to increase
understanding of the environmental
health and safety implications of
manufactured nanoscale materials.
This data collection will facilitate and
support EPA’s voluntary Stewardship
Program for Nanoscale Materials and
complement EPA’s new and existing
chemical programs under TSCA. These
data will also help provide a firmer
scientific foundation for regulatory
decisions by encouraging the
development of key scientific
information and appropriate risk
management practices for nanoscale
chemical substances.
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 833 hours per
response. This estimate assumes that the
response involves all potential activities
in the Nanoscale Materials Stewardship
Program described in the ICR. Not all
participants in the Nanoscale Materials
Stewardship Program are expected to
participate in the ‘‘in-depth’’ component
of the program. Under the PRA,
‘‘burden’’ means 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 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 which have subsequently
changed; 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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the activities and
estimated burden, which is only briefly
summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 615.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
annual responses for each respondent:
2.

VerDate Aug<31>2005

16:42 Jul 11, 2007

Jkt 211001

Estimated total annual burden hours:
24,724 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$1,271,240.
III. What is the Next Step in the Process
for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. Although included as
attachments to the ICR, EPA is issuing
a separate Federal Register document to
solicit public review and comments on
two draft documents: ‘‘Concept Paper
for the Nanoscale Materials Stewardship
Program under TSCA’’ and ‘‘TSCA
Inventory Status of Nanoscale
Substances—General Approach.’’ In
addition to considering comments
submitted on the ICR, EPA will also
consider public comments received on
these two documents.
The final ICR package, including the
revised attachments, will then be
submitted to OMB for review and
approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At
that time, EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice 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 questions about this
ICR or the process, please contact the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
