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
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements specified in the 13
Carcinogens Standard protect workers
from the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to the 13
carcinogens. The following is a brief
description of the collection of
information requirements contained in
the 13 Carcinogens Standard:
Establishing and implementing a
medical surveillance program for

E:\FR\FM\08DEN1.SGM

08DEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 236 / Thursday, December 8, 2011 / Notices
workers assigned to enter regulated
areas; informing workers of their
medical examination results; and
providing workers with access to their
medical records. Further, employers
must retain worker medical records for
specified time periods and make them
available upon request to OSHA and
NIOSH.
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.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting an adjustment
decrease in burden hours from 1,598 to
1,472 (a total decrease of 126 hours).
The decrease is due to a correction
made to the burden hour time estimates
associated with reviewing and updating
existing decontamination procedures
(from one hour to 15 minutes) and with
reviewing, updating and posting
existing instructions for the entry and
exit procedures for regulated areas, and
of existing emergency procedures (from
one and a quarter hours (1.25 hours) to
15 minutes). The agency estimates an
increase in both the number of
establishments (from 93 to 95
establishments) and the number of
exposed workers (from 643 to 657).
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: 13 Carcinogens Standard (29
CFR 1910.1003).
OMB Number: 1218–0085.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Government; State,
Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 95.
Frequency: On occasion; Annually.
Total Responses: 2,162.
Average Time per Response: Time per
response ranges from approximately 5
minutes (for employers to maintain
records) to 2 hours (for worker medical
surveillance).
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,472.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $99,207.
