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 that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Hazard Communication Standard (29
CFR 1910.1200; 1915.1200; 1917.28;
1918.90; 1926.59; and 1928.21). The
Agency is requesting an adjustment
decrease of 4,195,553 burden hours
(from 10,689,248 hours to 6,493,695
hours). The burden hour decrease is
primarily due to removing burden hours
for employers completing revisions to
their Safety Data Sheets and deleting
time associated with employers
becoming familiar with the Hazard
Communication Standard. The Agency
will summarize any comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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 accord 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:41 Apr 24, 2015
Jkt 235001
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 that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
13 Carcinogens Standard (29 CFR
1910.1003). The Agency is requesting an
increase of 21 burden hours to 1,493
hours. The increase is a result of the
increased number of establishments
affected by the standard from 95 to 97.
The Agency will summarize any
comments submitted in response to this
notice and will include this summary in
the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: 13 Carcinogens Standard (29
CFR 1910.1003).
OMB Number: 1218–0085.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 97.
Frequency of Response: On occasion;
annually.
Total Responses: 2,195.
Average Time per Response: Time per
response ranges from approximately 5
minutes (for employers to allow
employee access to records) to 2 hours
(for worker medical surveillance).
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,493.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $106,720.

The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public to take this opportunity
to comment on the ‘‘Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery’’
for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.). This collection was developed as
part of a Federal Government-wide
effort to streamline the process for
seeking feedback from the public on
service delivery. This notice announces
our intent to submit this collection to
OMB for approval and solicits
comments on specific aspects for the
proposed information collection,
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
comments received within 30 days after
from the date of this publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20503. Attention: Desk
Officer for NASA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument(s) and instructions should
be directed to Frances Teel, NASA PRA
Clearance Officer, NASA Headquarters,
300 E Street SW., Mail Code JF0000,

Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: This notice reflects a
revision to a currently approved
information. NASA plans to engage
more members of the public in small
discussion groups, focus groups,
usability testing, and qualitative

customer feedback which will result in
an increase in burden hours. The
proposed information collection activity
provides a means to garner qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
