2050-0092) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing 
so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the

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

number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of 
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. 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. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The authority for these requirements is sections 302, 
303, and 304 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act 
(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11002, 11003, and 11004). EPCRA established 
broad emergency planning and facility reporting requirements. Section 
302 requires facilities to notify their state emergency response 
commission (SERC) that the facility is subject to emergency planning. 
This activity has been completed; this ICR covers only new facilities 
that are subject to this requirement. Section 303 requires the local 
emergency planning committees (LEPCs) to prepare emergency plans for 
facilities that are subject to section 302. This activity has been also 
completed; this ICR only covers any updates needed for these emergency 
response plans. Section 304 requires facilities to report to SERCs and 
LEPCs releases in excess

[[Page 35348]]

of the reportable quantities listed for each extremely hazardous 
substance (EHS). This ICR also covers the notification and the written 
follow-up required under this section. The implementing regulations and 
the list of substances for emergency planning and emergency release 
notification are codified in 40 CFR part 355.
    Form Number: There are no forms associated with this collection.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are those which have a threshold planning quantity of an 
extremely hazardous substance (EHS) listed in 40 CFR part 355, Appendix 
A and those which have a release of any of the EHS above a reportable 
quantity. Entities more likely to be affected by this action may 
include chemical manufacturers, non-chemical manufacturers, retailers, 
petroleum refineries, utilities, etc.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: EPCRA Section 302 reporting is 
a one-time notification unless there are changes to the reported 
information; EPCRA Section 303 reporting is only when LEPC requests 
information from a facility for developing or modifying the emergency 
response plan; EPCRA section 304 notification is only when a release 
occurs from the facility.
    Estimated number of respondents: 110,456.
    Frequency of response: This information collection is not an annual 
requirement. See the section on ``Respondents obligation to respond'' 
in this document.
    Total estimated burden: 267,206 hours.
    Total estimated cost: $60,327 annualized O&M costs. There is no 
capital costs associated with this ICR.
    Changes in Estimates: The burden hours and cost indicated in this 
Federal Register Notice are from ICR 1395.08, currently approved by 
OMB. EPA is requesting comments on the burden hours and costs currently 
approved by OMB. The supporting statement for the ICR can be viewed at 
www.regulations.gov by searching ``ICR 1395.08.''
