Notice of Intent Comment Response New Topic Summ. ID Summary Response DocumentID 6 54 Section 2.1, item 9: EPA requests the project start and completion dates. We request that you clarify the completion date e. g. are your referring to actual completion of construction activities, completion of temporary stabilization, or final stabilization. EPA has clarified that completion of construction activity is to be upon final stabilization ( i. e., when permit coverage is no longer necessary for construction activity). 1028 and 1024 6 127 Part 8.12. A: If the size ( acreage) of a construction project significantly changes ( e. g., from Small Construction to Large Construction) after submission of the NOI, what kind of notification to EPA is required? EPA has clarified in the fact sheet that in certain instances, the operator is required to notify ( i. e., submit a new NOI) EPA that the size of the construction project has changed significantly. EPA has found that in many instances,

operators that increase the size of their project submit a new NOI as an additional NOI, noting a new name ( e. g., Phase 2) for that part of the project. 1077 6 287 We support removing the requirement to submit a NOI for construction sites 48 hours prior to start of construction which reduces burden on the industry. As a result of consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Services, EPA has changed the NOI submission requirement to be at least 7 days in advance of commencement of construction activity. As discussed elsewhere, the fact that EPA is changing who needs permit coverage ( i. e., developers, land owners, etc.), the burden associated with a 7 day review timeframe in advance of permit coverage should not be as great of a concern. 1002 and 1006 6 291 Section 2.1, item 5: In Oklahoma, there are over 30 recognized tribes. Identification of specific Indian Country Land is difficult, if not impossible to identify. In many instances, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management do not know where all these lands are located. We request that this be eliminated from the NOI until this issue can be addressed to streamline the process for operators. We have asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management for maps or legal descriptions for all their lands in Oklahoma. They informed us that they did not have the information. EPA acknowledges the commenter's concerns but the Agency believes that this information is critical to determine permit eligibility and as such, has opted to keep this element in the NOI. EPA has clarified that the requirement is to collect information necessary to determine whether the activities are covered by EPA or the State. 1028 and 1024 1 Notice of Intent Comment Response New Topic Summ. ID Summary Response DocumentID 6 293 Section 2.2. D., Change in Operator: The language in item D and in Section 8.12. C does not correspond. We request that the language in these two sections be consistent to prevent confusion. Many times during operational transfers, data and information are unintentionally misplaced and/ or lost. We request that EPA allow a reasonable grace period during the transfer of operations for new operators to file a NOI. The commenter has not made clear why the commenter believes the " language in item D and in Section 8.12. C does not correspond." EPA disagrees with the commenter's assertion that the language in these two sections is inconsistent.

EPA also disagrees with the commenter's request for allowance of a reasonable grace period. Adherence to the conditions of the CGP during construction is an ongoing activity. Misplacing and losing data and information is an unacceptable rationale for needing additional time. 1028 6 295 Part 2.1. B. 2: This item establishes the requirement to indicate on an NOI whether a construction site is a Federal project or whether it is located on Federal lands.   At least some EPA personnel believe this item is intended to address work on Federal Facilities versus Federal Lands. If this is accurate, this term should be changed from " Federal Lands" to " Federal Facility" and the term " Federal Facility" should be defined. If, however, it is EPA's intent to know when construction is occurring on Federal Lands, Oncor requests that this requirement address the crossing of Federal Lands as well since linear projects may impact both federal and non federal land. The following alternative wording is offered: 2. Whether the site is a Federal project, located on Federal lands or crosses Federal lands; EPA agrees and uses and defines the term " federal facilities" to be " any buildings, installations, structures, land, public works, equipment, aircraft,

vessels, and other vehicles and property, owned by, or constructed or manufactured for the purpose of leasing to, the Federal government." 1046 6 296 It is our understanding that currently it is the responsibility of BOTH the operator and the owner, if different, to submit a NOI. Are the requirements being changed and will the owner no longer need to file?

Please advise. EPA has not changed the requirements as to who must get permit coverage.

As explained in the " Answers to Common Questions" part of the CGP's fact sheet, anyone who has operational control over an aspect of a construction project must apply for a permit. There are many different situations. EPA has described a number of these in the fact sheet. 1035 6 297 We suggest that EPA consider revising the NOI form to allow for one NOI to be jointly processed by the owner and operator. To further streamline the process,

electronic submissions should be acceptable. EPA retained the requirement that any entity meeting the definition of operator be required to submit an NOI. EPA clarifies, however, that the CGP allows operators to submit NOIs which certify eligibility for Endangered Species Act purposes based on another operator's valid certification of eligibility, and encourages operators to jointly develop a SWPPP for projects with multiple operators.

EPA is developing an eNOI form that will be available within 90 days of the effective date of the CGP 1035 2 Notice of Intent Comment Response New Topic Summ. ID Summary Response DocumentID 6 301 Regarding Signatory Requirements: It states that for a state agency, the NOI and NOT must be signed by a principal executive officer or ranking elected official.

ADOT is currently, and will continue to have, our district or resident engineers as contract administrators sign these documents. Because ADOT projects are constructed throughout the state, it would be inconsistent to project responsibilities to have our Director or State Engineer sign these documents. EPA agrees with the commenter and has added clarification to the fact sheet indicating that a district engineer or resident engineer meets the regulatory and permit requirements. 1073 3

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What Should I Consider when I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

III. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply
to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
companies that manufacture, process, or import chemical substances,
mixtures, or categories.
    Title: Partial Update of the TSCA Section 8(b) Inventory Data Base,
Production and Site Reports.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1884.04, OMB Control No. 2070-0162.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31,
2009. 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 for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 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 in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to
compile and keep current a complete list of chemical substances
manufactured or processed in the United States. EPA updates this
inventory of chemicals every four years by requiring manufacturers,
processors, and importers to provide production volume, plant site
information and site-limited status information. This information
allows EPA to identify what chemicals are or are not currently in
commerce and to take appropriate regulatory action as necessary. EPA
also uses the information for screening chemicals for risks to human
health or the environment, for priority-setting efforts, and for
exposure estimates. This ICR addresses the collection of inventory-
related information.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR part 710). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice
confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim
of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance
with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 485 hours
per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose

or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and
utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting,
validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining
information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be
able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or
otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 4,190.
    Frequency of response: Once every five years.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
1.0.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 432,274 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $19,400,000. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $19,400,000 and an estimated cost of $0 for
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval?

    There is an increase of 18,699 hours (from 413,575 hours to 432,274
hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that
identified in the ICR most recently approved by OMB. In the 2006
Inventory Update Rule (IUR) collection covered by the previous ICR,
inorganic chemical were partially exempt and therefore, manufacturers
(including importers) of inorganic chemicals completed only partial
reports. However, in subsequent reporting periods, including the period
covered by this ICR, manufacturers (including importers) of inorganic
chemicals must complete full reports when the site-specific production
volume is 300,000 pounds or more. Full reports are estimated to take an
additional 85 hours to complete. This represents a program change.
    EPA used data reported to the 2006 IUR collection to estimate
numbers of respondents. Total sites reporting are estimated to be 4,190
for this collection. In the previous ICR, the number of sites
responding was estimated to be 3,026 sites. This re-estimate is another
reason for the change in burden hours. This change is an adjustment.

V. What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
