No. 2070-0158) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review 
and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is 
currently approved through April 30, 2015. Public comments were 
previously requested via the Federal Register (79 FR 78084) on December 
29, 2014, during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an

is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. 
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.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before May 28, 2015.

[email protected]. Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for 
EPA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Supporting documents, which explain in detail the information that 
the EPA will be collecting, are available in the public docket for this 
ICR. The docket can be viewed online at http://www.regulations.gov or 
in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 
Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone number for the 
Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional information about EPA's 
public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: This information collection involves third-party 
notification to owners and occupants of housing that will inform such 
individuals about the dangers of lead-contaminated dust and lead-based 
paint debris that are sometimes generated during renovations of housing 
where lead-based paint is present, thereby aiding them in avoiding 
potentially hazardous exposures and protecting public health. Since 
young children are especially susceptible to the hazards of lead, 
owners and occupants with children can take action to protect their 
children from lead poisonings. Section 406(b) of the Toxic Substances 
Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to promulgate regulations requiring 
certain persons who perform renovations for compensation on target 
housing to provide a lead hazard information pamphlet (developed under 
TSCA section 406(a)) to the owner and occupants of such housing prior 
to beginning the renovation. Further, the firm performing the 
renovation must keep records acknowledging receipt of the pamphlet on 
file for three years after completion of work. Those who fail to 
provide the pamphlet or keep records as required may be subject to both 
civil and criminal sanctions.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 
CFR part 745, subpart E). Respondents may claim all or part of a 
response confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by 
a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in 
accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Certain persons performing 
renovations of target housing, constructed prior to 1978, for 
compensation.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 320,504 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 2,577,280 hours per year. Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $140,498,539 per year, includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
