The OSH Act and MSH Act provide a
practical means to assure that workers exposed to harmful physical
agents/substances for which standards have not yet been developed
could be properly protected and to obtain information on health
hazards at current workplace exposure levels. These application
forms are used by employers/employee representatives who wish to
request an HHE. The information is used by NIOSH to determine if a
need exists to conduct the HHE under 42 CFR 85.
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
