Review - EPA Publishes 30-day ICR Notice for Generic TSCA Risk Assessment RFI

Today the EPA published a 30-day ICR notice in the Federal Register (90 FR 4741-4742) for “Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Existing Chemical Risk Evaluation and Management: Generic Information Collection Request for Surveys (Renewal). The 60-day ICR notice was published on May 15^th, 2024. This is the first renewal of this ICR (originally approved February 28^th, 2022). Un-explained changes have been made in the burden estimate.

The table below shows the apparently ongoing revisions to the burden estimate for this ICR.

EPA uses this ‘generic’ ICR to collect information from industry, academia and the public to support their risk assessments under the TSCA Existing Chemical Risk Evaluation and Management program. They call this a ‘generic’ collection because it would be used for a variety of different chemical risk assessments.
