    Abstract: Sections 311 and 312 of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11011, 11012)
require owners and operators of facilities subject to OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard (HCS) to submit an inventory form of chemicals
or MSDSs (for those chemicals that exceed thresholds, specified in 40
CFR part 370) to the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), Tribal
Emergency Response Commission (TERC), Local Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC), Tribal Emergency Planning Committee (TEPC) and the
local fire department (LFD) with jurisdiction over their facility.
    The submittal of an inventory form allows local emergency planners/
responders and the community to have access to information regarding
the hazards of a chemical at any given facility.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form No. 8700-30.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities required to prepare or
have available a material safety data sheet for any hazardous chemical
under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under EPCRA Sections
311 and 312.
    Estimated number of respondents: 403,052 respondents.
    Frequency of response: Annually.
    Total estimated burden: 5,915,254 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $254,413,726 (per year), which includes
$6,593,300 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 2,006,122 hours
in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to a revised estimate
of facilities subject to EPCRA sections 311 and 312.

Assumptions:

[a]  EPA estimates an average of 40 states/territories will comply voluntarily with EPA's request for data in year 1 of the program, using Options 2 or 3. EPA estimates that, beginning in year 2, 6 states per year will transition to using Option 1. EPA assumes it will retrieve data for the remaining 16 states that do not submit data using Options 1 through 3.
b  This ICR uses the following labor rate for subcontractors: $122.66 per hour for Technical labor. This rate is from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2020, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group." The rate is from column 1, "Total compensation." The BLS rate has been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
[c]  This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses. This ICR uses a Managerial rate of $69.04 (GS-13, Step 5, $43.15 + 60%), Technical rate of $51.23 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.02 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $27.73 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.33 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2021 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.
[d]  EPA assumes that, in the first year of the program, each respondent will require time to set up their systems to accommodate the data exchange. This involves assessing which data is desired by EPA, re-writing database queries, verifying that queries are correct, and obtaining management permission to share data. As states transition to using Option 1, they will incur burden only once for the initial set-up to implement this Option.
[e]  Based on interview responses, EPA assumes that 5% of states will use outside contractors to initially set up their processes to accommodate the data exchange. This initial set-up will begin in year 1 for states choosing Options 2 and 3 and year 2 for states choosing Option 1. EPA also assumes that subcontractor labor for the initial set-up will be an additional 20% of state agency hours.
[f]  Based on interview responses, EPA assumes that, on average, each respondent will share their UST/LUST data on a semiannual basis.
[g]  Respondents choosing Option 4 will have no initial burden in Year 1 or recurring burden in subsequent years.
[h]  EPA assumes that respondents will keep records of all data made available to the Agency. Planning will occur in year 1 and recordkeeping will occur semiannually.
[i]  Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:

[a]  EPA estimates an average of 40 states/territories will comply voluntarily with EPA's request for data in year 1 of the program, using Options 2 or 3. EPA estimates that, beginning in year 2, 6 states per year will transition to using Option 1. EPA assumes it will retrieve data for the remaining 16 states that do not submit data using Options 1 through 3.
[b]  This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses. This ICR uses a Managerial rate of $69.04 (GS-13, Step 5, $43.15 + 60%), Technical rate of $51.23 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.02 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $27.73 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.33 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2021 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.
c  In the first year of the program, EPA will review its own existing UST database, develop a schema for a revised version, and configure the central database.
[d]  In the first year of the program, EPA will assist each respondent in setting up their systems to accommodate the data exchange. This involves assessing which data is desired by EPA, agreeing on a schema and file format, obtaining the permissions required on both sides of the exchange, and other administrative burden. As states transition to using Option 1 in years 2 and 3, the Agency will incur burden for assisting states in implementing Option 1.
[e] EPA will gather the UST/LUST data from the states/territories on a semiannual basis. The Agency will review and perform quality control checks on submitted data, and provide geocoding for data submitted as addresses. EPA will communicate with states regarding problems and provide ongoing support as needed.
[f]  In the first year of the program, for states utilizing Option 2, EPA will develop an extraction script for downloading the data from the state agency website.
[g]  In the first year of the program, for states utilizing Options 2, 3, and 4, EPA will develop a customized Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) script that translates data to the required format.
[h]  Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:

[a]  EPA estimates an average of 40 states/territories will comply voluntarily with EPA's request for data in year 1 of the program, using Options 2 or 3. EPA estimates that, beginning in year 2, 6 states per year will transition to using Option 1. EPA assumes it will retrieve data for the remaining 16 states that do not submit data using Options 1 through 3.
b  This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses. This ICR uses a Managerial rate of $69.04 (GS-13, Step 5, $43.15 + 60%), Technical rate of $51.23 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.02 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $27.73 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.33 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2021 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.
[c]  In the first year of the program, EPA will review its own existing UST database, develop a schema for a revised version, and configure the central database.
[d]  In the first year of the program, EPA will assist each respondent in setting up their systems to accommodate the data exchange. This involves assessing which data is desired by EPA, agreeing on a schema and file format, obtaining the permissions required on both sides of the exchange, and other administrative burden. As states transition to using Option 1 in years 2 and 3, the Agency will incur burden for assisting states in implementing Option 1.
[e] EPA will gather the UST/LUST data from the states/territories on a semiannual basis. The Agency will review and perform quality control checks on submitted data, and provide geocoding for data submitted as addresses. EPA will communicate with states regarding problems and provide ongoing support as needed.
[f]  In the first year of the program, for states utilizing Option 2, EPA will develop an extraction script for downloading the data from the state agency website.
[g]  In the first year of the program, for states utilizing Options 2, 3, and 4, EPA will develop a customized Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) script that translates data to the required format.
[h]  Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:

[a]  EPA estimates an average of 40 states/territories will comply voluntarily with EPA's request for data in year 1 of the program, using Options 2 or 3. EPA estimates that, beginning in year 2, 6 states per year will transition to using Option 1. EPA assumes it will retrieve data for the remaining 16 states that do not submit data using Options 1 through 3.
b  This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses. This ICR uses a Managerial rate of $69.04 (GS-13, Step 5, $43.15 + 60%), Technical rate of $51.23 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.02 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $27.73 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.33 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2021 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.
[c]  In the first year of the program, EPA will review its own existing UST database, develop a schema for a revised version, and configure the central database.
[d]  In the first year of the program, EPA will assist each respondent in setting up their systems to accommodate the data exchange. This involves assessing which data is desired by EPA, agreeing on a schema and file format, obtaining the permissions required on both sides of the exchange, and other administrative burden. As states transition to using Option 1 in years 2 and 3, the Agency will incur burden for assisting states in implementing Option 1.
[e] EPA will gather the UST/LUST data from the states/territories on a semiannual basis. The Agency will review and perform quality control checks on submitted data, and provide geocoding for data submitted as addresses. EPA will communicate with states regarding problems and provide ongoing support as needed.
[f]  In the first year of the program, for states utilizing Option 2, EPA will develop an extraction script for downloading the data from the state agency website.
[g]  In the first year of the program, for states utilizing Options 2, 3, and 4, EPA will develop a customized Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) script that translates data to the required format.
[h]  Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
