and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which 
is currently approved through November 30, 2017. Public comments were 
previously requested via the Federal Register (82 FR 24702) on May 30, 
2017 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an 
additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR

    Abstract: Pursuant to section 313 of the Emergency Planning and 
Community Right-to-Know Act

[[Page 55360]]

(EPCRA), certain facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use 
specified toxic chemicals in amounts above reporting threshold levels 
must submit annually to EPA and to designated State or Tribal officials 
toxic chemical release forms containing information specified by EPA. 
In addition, pursuant to section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act 
(PPA), facilities reporting under section 313 of EPCRA must also report 
pollution prevention and waste management data, including recycling 
information, for such chemicals. EPA compiles and stores these reports 
in a publicly accessible database known as the Toxics Release Inventory 
(TRI).
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that submit annual 
reports under section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of PPA.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (EPCRA Section 313).
    Estimated number of respondents: 21,856.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Total estimated burden: 3,597,275 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $199,217,089 (per year), includes $0 in 
annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 41,277 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in 
the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects a slight 
increase in the number of facilities reporting to TRI.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
