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 purpose of these
requirements is to reduce employees’
risk of death or serious injury by
ensuring that employment has been
tested and is in safe operating condition.
The collection of information in the
standard is necessary for
implementation of the requirements of
the standard. The information is used by
employers to ensure that processes
using highly hazardous chemicals with
the potential of a catastrophic release
are operated as safely as possible. The
employer must thoroughly consider all

facets of a process, as well as the
involvement of employees in that
process. Employers analyze processes so
that they can identify, evaluate and
control problems that could lead to a
major release, fire, or explosion. The
major information collection
requirements in this standard include:
consulting with workers and their
representatives on and providing them
access to process hazard analyses and
the development of other elements of
the standard; developing a written
action plan for implementation of
employee participation in process
hazard analyses and other elements of
the standard; completing a compilation
of written process safety information;
performing a process hazard analysis;
documenting actions taken to resolve
process hazard analysis team findings
and recommendations; updating,
revalidating, and retaining the process
hazard analysis; developing and
implementing written operating
procedures accessible to workers;
reviewing operating procedures as often
as necessary and certifying the
procedures annually; developing and
implementing written operating
procedures accessible to workers;
reviewing, operating procedures as often
as necessary and certifying the
procedures annually; developing and
implementing safe work practices;
preparing training records; informing
contract employers of known hazards
and applicable provisions of the
emergency action plan; maintaining a
contract worker injury and illness log;
establishing written procedures to
maintain the integrity of and
documenting inspections and tests of
process equipment; providing
information on permits issued for hot
work operations; establishing and
implementing written procedures to
manage changes; preparing reports at
the conclusion of incident
investigations, documenting resolutions
and corrective measures, and reviewing
the reports with affected personnel;
establishing and implementing an
emergency action plan; developing a
compliance audit report and certifying
compliance; and disclosing information
necessary to comply with the standard
to persons responsible for complying
process safety information.
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;

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:19 Jun 23, 2025

Jkt 265001

• 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
Process Safety Management of Highly
Hazardous Chemicals Standard. The
agency is requesting an adjustment
decrease in burden going from 2,325,294
hours to 2,269,066 hours, a difference of
56,228 hours. The decrease is due to a
reduction in the number of
establishments in the RMP database as
of March 2025 going from 11,641 to
11,329 establishments.
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: Process Safety Management of
Highly Hazardous Chemicals Standard
(29 CFR 1910.119).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0200.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 11,329.
Number of Responses: 1,026,883.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
