Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances
Title: Notification of Substantial Risks Under Section 8 of the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). (EPA ICR No. 0794.07; OMB No.
2070-0046).
Abstract: Under Section 8(e) of TSCA, chemical manufacturers,
importers, processors, and distributors must immediately inform EPA
when they obtain information which indicates that their product(s) may
present a substantial risk of injury to health or the environment.
Section 8(e) of TSCA is an important and useful tool for early warning
and the identification of new substantial risks posed by exposure to
chemical substances. The EPA and other Federal agencies use this
information to determine and control chemical risks.
Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 21 hours per initial Section 8(e)
submission and 4 hours per follow-up/supplemental Section 8(e)
submission. EPA experience has shown that approximately 2.2 follow-up/
supplemental Section 8(e) submissions are received on a yearly basis
per initial submission. This estimate includes the time needed to
review instructions, gather and submit the data needed, and complete
and review the collection of information.
Respondents: Chemical manufacturers, importers, processors, and
distributors.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1440.
Frequency of Collection: On Occasion.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 3.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 13,400 hours.
Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the
burden, (please refer to EPA ICR #794.07 and OMB #2070-0046) to:
