566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit 
http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    ICR status: This is a new ICR. that seeks to consolidate the 
information collection activities that are currently covered by the 
following three ICRs that are currently approved by OMB under the 
separate OMB control numbers identified:
    1. OMB Control No. 2070-0155; EPA ICR No. 1715.14; entitled ``TSCA 
Sections 402 and Section 404 Training, Certification, Accreditation and 
Standards for Lead-Based Paint Activities and Renovation, Repair, and 
Painting''; approved through August 31, 2018.
    2. OMB Control No. 2070-0158; EPA ICR No. 1669.07; entitled ``Lead-
Based Paint Pre-Renovation Information Dissemination--TSCA Sec. 
406(b)''; approved through August 31, 2018.
    3. OMB Control No. 2070-0181; EPA ICR No. 2381.03; entitled ``ICR 
for the Final Rule entitled ``Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing 
Requirements for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program''; 
approved through August 31, 2018.
    Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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. 
The OMB control numbers are displayed either by publication in the 
Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related 
collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB 
control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 
part 9.
    Abstract: This consolidated ICR will cover the information 
collection activities imposed on entities conducting lead-based paint 
related activities currently approved in the ICRs listed above. 
Following approval of this ICR, the previous ICRs will be discontinued.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Private entities and state, 
territorial or Native American agencies who are engaged in or who 
administer lead-based paint activities or programs.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 
745). Respondents may claim all or part of a document 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.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 791,805.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total burden: 5,746,565 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Estimated total costs: $283,187,555 (per year), includes no 
annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an overall decrease of 282,737 
hours in the total estimated combined respondent burden that is 
currently approved by OMB in the three ICRs consolidated in this 
request. This decrease reflects changes in EPA's estimates of the 
number of respondents and burden-related activities based on economic 
conditions in the housing market and related industries. Further, the 
fact that the 2008 Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule and the 
2010 Opt-Out rule have been in place for several years allows this ICR 
to use estimates based on actual certification data instead of making 
broader assumptions about industry behavior. Further details about 
these changes are included in the supporting statement for this ICR. 
This change is an adjustment.
