In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the Chignik Hydroelectric Project and has prepared an Environmental Assessment

(EA)for the project. The project is located on the Indian Creek, in the town of Chignik, Alaska. The project occupies about two acres of United States land within the boundary of the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge that is in the process of being conveyed to Far West, Inc., a local tribal Corporation. The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's website at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link.

To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation. F. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested in? Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of PRA, EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to: 1. Evaluate whether the collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility. 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burdens of the collections of information. 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected. 4. Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated or electronic collection technologies or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. II. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply to? EPA is seeking comments on the following ICR: *Title* : TSCA Section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting, Submission of Lists and Copies of Health and Safety Studies. *ICR numbers* : EPA ICR No. 0575.10, OMB Control No. 2070-0004. *ICR status* : This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on February 28, 2006. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. *Abstract* : Section 8(d) of TSCA and 40 CFR part 716 require manufacturers and processors of chemicals to submit lists and copies of health and safety studies relating to the health and/or environmental effects of certain chemical substances and mixtures. In order to comply with the reporting requirements of section 8(d) of TSCA, respondents must search their records to identify any health and safety studies in their possession, copy and process relevant studies, list studies that are currently in progress, and submit this information to EPA. EPA uses this information to construct a complete picture of the known effects of the chemicals in question, leading to determinations by EPA of whether additional testing of the chemicals is required. The information enables EPA to base its testing decisions on the most complete information available and to avoid demands for testing that may be duplicative. EPA will use information obtained via this collection to support its investigation of the risks posed by chemicals and, in particular, to support its decisions on whether to require industry to test chemicals under section 4 of TSCA. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 716). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. III. What are EPA's Burden and Cost Estimates for this ICR? Under PRA, “burden” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. For this collection it includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized in this notice. The annual public burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 14 hours per response. The following is a summary of the estimates taken from the ICR: *Respondents/affected entities* : Companies that manufacture, process, import, or distribute in commerce chemical substances or mixtures. *Estimated total number of potential respondents* : 20 *Frequency of response* : On occasion. *Estimated total/average number of responses for each respondent* : 1. *Estimated total annual burden hours* : 882 hours. *Estimated total annual burden costs* : $45,851. IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval? There is a decrease of 1,462 hours (from 2,344 hours to 882 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the information collection request most recently approved by OMB. This change is due to adjustments in the estimates to better reflect EPA's experience with the 1998 revisions to the TSCA section 8(d) reporting standards that reduced reporting burden. The last ICR renewal estimated reporting burden by projecting responses based on historical reporting from rules prior to the 1998 revisions. The data used to project future responses for this ICR renewal are limited to reports for chemicals added to the TSCA section 8(d) list after the 1998 revisions. The new estimates are based solely on experience with the 2004 list of TSCA section 8(d) chemicals (the first chemicals added to the list since the 1998 revisions to the regulations). As a result, EPA has reduced the estimated number of reports that will be submitted in the future. V. What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another **Federal Register** notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT .
