Specifically, “Request for a Technical Consultation” has been changed to “Compliance Assistance” and “Notification of New Top-Screen” has been changed to “Top-Screen Update.” No other revisions to the instrument names are proposed. • The “Request for Redetermination” instrument provides a variety of possible reasons that facilities may select to support the justification for a redetermination request. The Department proposes to amend this instrument to allow facilities to select from a list of possible reasons to support a request for redetermination. No other revisions to this instrument or other instruments are proposed. • This request proposes the addition of a new instrument titled “Declaration of Reporting Status” which allows a chemical facility to notify the Department that it is not required to register in CSAT or submit a Top-Screen (TS). OMB is particularly interested in written comments from the public that: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 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 estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. Address how the agency might minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology ( *e.g.,* permitting electronic submissions of responses).
