This information collection request addresses the reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with both the new chemicals review and regulatory program and the existing chemicals program administered by EPA under section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (the Lautenberg Act) (15 U.S.C. 2604). EPA is requesting to renew and consolidate two currently approved Information Collection Requests (ICRs). This consolidated ICR will cover information collection activities associated with Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) for both new and existing chemicals under TSCA, and the premanufacture review program for new chemicals. The consolidated ICR will cover ongoing activities necessary to fulfill statutory mandates in TSCA section 5 for new and existing chemicals.

Miscellaneous Actions
This information collection combines the burdens from two previously approved ICRs, EPA ICR No.1188.12 and EPA ICR No. 0574.18. The total combined burden from these two previously approved ICRs was [192,156 + 137 = 192,293 hours]. The total burden requested for this ICR is [136,292 hours], or a decrease of [56,001hours] from the previous total burden. The difference between the current burden request and the previously approved requests is primarily due to the declining number of section 5 submissions for new chemicals. Additionally, minor adjustments were made in EPA’s estimates of the number of respondents and of the burden. The total combined cost burden from these two currently approved ICRs is $54,542,968 [$26,752+$54,516,216], and the total cost burden requested for this ICR is [$37,354,814]. Once this ICR is approved, it will replace the existing ICRs, resulting in decrease in the estimated total cost burden of $17,188,154 [$54,542,968 - $37,354,814]. The difference between the current cost burden request and the previously approved requests are due to the consolidation of the individual ICRs when calculating the burden, as well as adjustments in EPA’s estimates of the number of respondents and of the burden. In addition to the adjustments listed above, the wage rates and material costs were revised to reflect 2020 dollars for this information collection request.
