    Title: Polychlorinated Biphenils (PCBs): Use in Electric Equipment 
and Transformers. (EPA ICR No. 1000.05; OMB #2070-0003). This is an 
extension of the expiration date of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: In compliance with section 6(e) of the Toxic Substances 
Control Act (TSCA), owners of PCB transformers must keep records on 
unit use, inspection and corrective actions for leaks. These records 
must be maintained for at least three years after disposing of the 
transformer. Owners of PCB transformers must also report any fire-
related incidents immediately to the National Response Center. EPA 
conducts periodic inspections of facilities operating PCB transformers. 
The inspections are used to generate reports, and to ensure compliance 
with TSCA.
    Burden statement: The public burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average one hour per response for reporting 
and ten minutes per recordkeeper annually. This estimate includes the 
time needed to review instructions, search for data sources, gather the 
data needed, and review the collection of information.
    Respondents: Owners of PCB transformers.
    Estimated No. of respondents: 6 respondents for reporting and 
200,000 recordkeepers.
    Estimated No. of responses per respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 33,206 hours.
    Frequency of collection: On occasion.

the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden to:
