Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxics

    Title: Use and Exposure Information Voluntary Project. (EPA ICR 
No.: 1734.01). This is a new collection.
    Abstract: EPA will collect, from members of the chemical industry, 
use and exposure information on chemical substances in commerce that 
are subject to OPPT's Risk Management (RM) review process. Members of 
the chemical industry will report data on exposures at manufacturing 
sites as well as information on subsequent exposures by users of the 
substances in commerce.
    Participation is strictly voluntary; however, EPA anticipates a 
high response rate because of the active participation of the major 
chemical industry trade associations in the development of the 
questionnaire.
    EPA will use the information collected under this ICR to meet their 
responsibility under the Existing Chemicals Program to screen, assess 
and develop strategies for managing risks posed by chemical substances 
in commerce.
    Burden Statement: Burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 10 hours per respondent for reporting. There is no 
recordkeeping requirement. This estimate includes the time needed to 
review instructions, gather and submit the information, and report the 
information.
    Respondents: Manufacturers and importers of chemical substances.
    Estimated number of respondents: 120 respondents.
    Estimated number of responses per respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 1,200 hours.
    Frequency of collection: Twice a year.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of 
the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden to:
