SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95)(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
burden is accurate. The Occupational
Safety and Health Act of the 1970 (the
Act) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657).
The principal paperwork provisions
of the EtO Standard require employers
to notify employees of their EtO
exposures, implement a written
compliance program, administer
medical examinations, provide
examining physicians with specific
information, ensure that employees
receive a copy of their medical
examination results, maintain
employees’ exposure-monitoring and
medical records for specific periods,
and provide access to these records by
OSHA, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, the

affected employees, and their
authorized representatives.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
OSHA is proposing to decrease the
existing burden hour estimate and to
extend OMB’s approval of the collection
of information requirements contained
in the EtO Standard. The Agency is
requesting a decrease in burden hours
for the collection of information
contained in the EtO Standard from
43,972 hours to 42,732 hours. This
1,240-hour decrease mainly results from
decrease in the number of hospitals
(which are major EtO consumers). The
agency will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in its
request to OMB to extend the approval
of these information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection requirement.
Title: Ethylene Oxide Standard (29
CFR 1910.1047).
OMB Number: 1218–0108.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 5,474.
Frequency: On occasion.
Total Responses: 209,256.
Average Time per Response: Time per
response ranges from 5 minutes (.08
hour) to provide information to the
examining physician to 2 hours for
employees to receive medical
examinations.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
42,732.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $6,595,597.
