The proposed rule takes comment on an option requiring monitoring of exposure levels of the chemical n-propyl bromide with minimal record-keeping to demonstrate compliance with the health-based exposure limit. No reporting would be required. By keeping this information, end users would be able to demonstrate compliance with the use condition in the case of an inspection by EPA. Primary responders would be businesses that use n-propyl bromide as a cleaning solvent, an aerosol solvent, or a carrier solvent in adhesives.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
