cautions interested parties about

For further information on submitting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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)
(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, the collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (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 effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it.
The information collection
requirements specified in the Cotton
Dust Standard protects workers from the
adverse health effects that may result
from their exposure to cotton dust. The
major information collection
requirements of the Cotton Dust
Standard include: performing exposure
monitoring, including initial, periodic,
and additional monitoring; notifying
each worker of their exposure
monitoring results either in writing or
by posting; implementing a written
compliance program; and establishing a
respiratory protection program in

accordance with OSHA’s Respiratory
Protection Standard (29 CFR part
1910.134).
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 to protect workers,
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, and
transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in
Cotton Dust Standard. The agency is
requesting an adjustment decrease in
the burden hours amount from 6,379
hours to 5,752 hours, a difference of 627
hours. This decrease is due to the
decrease in the number of exposed
employees from 4,543 to 3,810.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Cotton Dust Standard.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0061.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 3,810.
Number of Responses: 14,912.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,752.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $768,858.
