SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Docket: Supporting documents, including the ICR that explains in 
detail the information collection activities and the related burden and 
cost estimates that are summarized in this document, are available in 
the docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, West William

Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is (202) 
566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit

    ICR status: This is a new ICR. Under OMB regulations, an agency may 
continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this 
submission is pending at OMB. 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 ICR addresses the content and form of the statements 
of need and agreements required under sections 14(d)(4), (d)(5), and 
(d)(6) of the Toxic Substances Control Act, as amended in 2016. These 
activities are described in the three guidance documents that have been 
developed to implement the new authorities in TSCA section 14(d)(4), 
(d)(5), and (d)(6), and include some basic logistical information on 
where and how to submit requests to EPA. Making a request for access to 
TSCA CBI is a voluntary activity, but is required in order to gain such 
access under TSCA section 14(d). The ICR provides burden estimates for 
these activities. The guidance documents are available at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-cbi/requesting-access-cbi-under-tsca.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this ICR are mainly government employees (federal, state, local, 
tribal), as well as medical professionals, such as doctors and nurses.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 6 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 89 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.03(b)

[[Page 60424]]

    Total estimated cost: $5,204.11 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
