Approved through
Sept. 1997 to allow for public comment on the information
collection provisions contained in this regulation, under the
procedures of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Given the burden
imposed by this regulation, DOL will solicit comment on ways that
the information collection provisions could be revised or
implemented differently to reduce burden while still achieving the
purposes of the rule. As required by the PRA 1995, DOL will include
a summary of public comments received as part of the record
supporting its request for OMB clearance. Also, it is approved with
the understanding that OSHA will change the title from 'Generic
Clearance - Supreme Court Decision Burden Hours' to 'Access to
Medical Records' upon re-submission.
