Abstract:
This ICR renewal will cover the information collection activities associated with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for individuals, firms and state and local government entities conducting lead-based paint activities or renovations of target housing and child-occupied facilities; training providers; and states/territories/tribes/Alaskan native villages. Legal authority: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Title IV, 15 U.S.C. 2681 et seq. In particular, sections 401 (15 U.S.C. 2681), 402 (15 U.S.C. 2682), 404 (15 U.S.C. 2684), and 406 (15 U.S.C. 2686); and related implementing regulations in 40 CFR part 745. More details are provided in Unit 2(a) of this Supporting Statement. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR include persons who are engaged in lead-based paint activities and/or perform renovations of target housing or child-occupied facilities for compensation, dust sampling, or dust testing; or who perform lead-based paint inspections, lead hazard screens, risk assessments or abatements in target housing or child-occupied facilities; or who provide training or operate a training program for individuals who perform any of these activities; or state, territorial or Native American agencies that administer lead-based paint activities and/or renovation programs. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Responses are mandatory under TSCA (see also 40 CFR part 745). Confidentiality of responses: Respondents may claim all or part of a document submitted to be as 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. Estimated total number of potential respondents: 770,564. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total annual burden: 5,251,320 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Estimated total annual costs: $ 303,099,637, includes no annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the estimates: There is an overall decrease of 1,211,977 hours in the total estimated combined respondent burden that is currently approved by OMB in the in this ICR. The difference between the current burden request and the previously approved request are due to adjustments in EPA’s estimates of the burden. Several adjustments to the estimates were made, including: • Revisions to the estimated number of respondents based on the number of respondents reporting to EPA for the prior information collection.; and • Revisions based on market factors.
