Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The difference between the current cost and burden estimates and the previous ICR estimates are due to adjustments in EPAs estimation methodology of the costs and burden. Two key adjustments were made to the estimation methodology. In the previous ICR period, the burden estimates were based on expected submissions, not on actual submissions received by the agency, while the reporting covered in this period is based on actual submissions received by the agency. This significant change accounts for almost all the decrease in burden and cost estimates. In the previous ICR period, the burden was estimated separately for manufactures and processors, while the reporting covered in this period calculates a weighted burden for any given respondent without separating the manufacturers from the processors. This approach was deemed reasonable given that the agency received only 27 submissions related to TSCA 8(a) nanomaterials in the current three-year ICR period, which accounts for the decrease in number or responses.
