by other appropriate means, such as on
the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: Certain employees of
companies working under contract to
EPA require access to TSCA CBI
collected under the authority of TSCA
in order to perform their official duties.
The Office of Pollution Prevention and
Toxics (OPPT), which is responsible for
maintaining the security of TSCA
confidential business information,
requires that all individuals desiring
access to TSCA CBI obtain and annually
renew official clearance to TSCA CBI.
As part of the process for obtaining
TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires
certain information about the
contracting company and about each
contractor employee requesting TSCA
CBI clearance, primarily the name,
social security number and EPA
identification badge number of the
employee, the type of TSCA CBI
clearance requested and the justification
for such clearance, and the signature of
the employee to an agreement with
respect to access to and use of TSCA
CBI.
Responses to the collection of
information are voluntary, but failure to
provide the requested information will
prevent a contractor employee from
obtaining clearance to TSCA CBI. EPA
will observe strict confidentiality
precautions with respect to the
information collected on individual
employees, based on the Privacy Act of
1974, as outlined in the ICR and in the
collection instrument.
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 1.6 hours per
response. 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
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:26 Nov 08, 2006 Jkt 211001
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 28.
Frequency of response: On occasion
(one time only per individual employee
needing TSCA CBI clearance).
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 10.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
446 hours.
Estimated total annual costs: $20,466.
This includes an estimated burden cost
of $20,466 and an estimated cost of $0
for capital investment or maintenance
and operational costs.
IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates
from the Last Approval?
There is an increase of 31 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This
increase reflects an increase in the
number of contractor employees
needing TSCA CBI clearance. This
change is an adjustment.
V. What is the Next Step in the Process
for this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. 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 approval
process, please contact the technical
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
