Several industry trade associations
and EPA have jointly developed a standardized cover sheet for
voluntary use by industry as a first step to an electronic future
and to help familiarize companies with standard concepts essential
for electronic transfer. This cover sheet is designed for voluntary
use in the submission of information under TSCA sections 4, 8(d),
and 8(e). The cover sheet facilitates submission of information,
permits EPA more easily to identify, log, track, distribute, review
and index submissions, and makes information publicly available
more rapidly and at reduced costs, to the mutual benefit of the
respondents and EPA.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
