    ICR Status: OMB approval for this ICR expired on September 1, 2016, 
due to administrative error. This action is a request to reinstate OMB 
approval for the information collection activities outlined in this 
document.
    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: Section 12(b) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 
requires any person who exports or intends to export a chemical 
substance or mixture that is regulated under TSCA sections 4, 5, 6 and/
or 7 to notify EPA of such export or intent to export. This requirement 
is described in more detail in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 
40 CFR part 707, subpart D. Upon receipt of notification, EPA advises 
the government of the importing country of the U.S. regulatory action 
that required the notification with respect to that substance. EPA uses 
the information obtained from the submitter via this collection to 
advise the government of the importing country. This information 
collection addresses the burden associated with industry reporting of 
export notifications.
    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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this ICR are companies that export chemical substances or mixtures from 
the United States to foreign countries.
    Respondent's Obligation To Respond: Responses to the collection of 
information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 707, subpart D). Respondents 
may claim all or part of a notice confidential.
    Estimated Total Number of Potential Respondents: 240.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Burden: 4,032 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Estimated Total Costs: $278,118 (per year), includes no annualized 
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of seven hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in 
the ICR previously approved by OMB. This increase reflects EPA's 
correction of arithmetic errors in the previous submission. This change 
is an adjustment.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
