    Abstract: This information collection request pertains to trade 
secrecy claims submitted under Section 322 of the Emergency Planning 
and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). EPCRA contains 
provisions requiring facilities to report to state and local 
authorities, and EPA, the presence of extremely hazardous substances 
(Section 302), inventory of hazardous chemicals (Sections 311 and 312) 
and manufacture, process and use of toxic chemicals (Section 313). 
Section 322 of EPCRA allows a facility to withhold the specific 
chemical identity from these EPCRA reports if the facility asserts a 
trade secret for that chemic claim for that chemical identity. The 
provisions in Section 322 establish the requirements and procedures 
that facilities must follow to request trade secret treatment of 
chemical identities, as well as the procedures for submitting public 
petitions to the Agency for review of the ``sufficiency'' of trade 
secret claims.
    Trade secret protection is provided for specific chemical 
identities contained in reports submitted under each of the following 
sections of EPCRA: (1) Section 303 (d)(2)--Facility notification of 
changes that have or are about to occur; (2) Section 303 (d)(3)--Local 
Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) requests for facility information 
to develop or implement emergency plans; (3) Section 311--Material 
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) submitted by facilities, or lists of those 
chemicals submitted in place of the MSDSs; (4) Section 312--Emergency 
and hazardous chemical inventory forms (Tier I and Tier II); and (5) 
Section 313 Toxic chemical release inventory form.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form 9510-1.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturer and non-manufacturer 
facilities subject to reporting under

[[Page 54751]]

sections 303, 311/312 or 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community 
Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory if a respondent 
decides to make a trace secret claim for the chemical identity for any 
of the chemicals in any of the reports the respondent is required to 
submit under EPCRA sections 303, 311/312 or 313.
    Estimated number of respondents: 272 trade secret claims.
    Frequency of response: Annual, with reports submitted under 
Sections 312 and 313.
    Total estimated burden: 2,584 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $151,047 (per year). There are no capital or 
operation and maintenance costs associated with this ICR.
    Changes in the estimates: This ICR renewal estimates a total 
respondent burden of 2,584 hours, which is reduced from the previous 
ICR. The previous approved burden was 3,154 hours. The burden decreased 
because the actual number of claims submitted is lower than what EPA 
estimated in the previous ICR.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
