The standard requires employers to
train employees about the hazards of lead, monitor employee
exposure, provide medical surveillance, and maintain accurate
records of employee exposure to lead. These records will be used by
employers, employees, physicians and the Government to ensure that
employees are not harmed by exposure to lead in the workplace. As
part of the SIP IV proposal, OSHA is proposing to remove the
provisions in its standards that require employers to collect and
record employees’ social security numbers. Therefore, the Agency
requests to remove the social security number collection
requirements from the provisions in this Information Collection
Request (ICR).

OSHA is requesting an
adjustment decrease from 1,243,686 hours to 1,243,672 hours, a
difference of 14 hours, and the cost to remain the same. This is
because OSHA has determined that the requirement for employers to
make information available upon request to the Assistant Secretary
is also not a collection of information; OSHA typically requests
access to records during an inspection, and information collected
by the Agency during the investigation is not subject to the PRA
under 5 CFR 1320.4(a)(2). Additionally, employers must also make
information available to NIOSH upon request, but OSHA does not
anticipate that NIOSH will request employers to make records
available during the approval period. Therefore, the burden for the
employer to make this information available to NIOSH is zero.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
