Requirement (Revision)
No
material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved
collection
This non-substantive revision to the
currently approved ICR, incorporates the activities and burdens
associated with reading the guidance documents and additional
outreach to stakeholders about submitting Test Orders to the Agency
(see ICs for Review Guidance Documents, Test Orders &
Pre-Issuance Outreach) that were recently approved under a separate
ICR entitled “User Guide for submitting TSCA Section 4 Test Order
Information,” and identified by EPA ICR No. 2697.01 and approved
under OMB Control No. 2070-0215. Merging those activities and
related burden into this ICR is appropriate because the activities
are integrated components of the same information collection
program.
