SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
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–95) (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, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the Act) authorizes information
collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657).
The principal paperwork provisions
of the Formaldehyde Standard require
employers to perform exposure
monitoring to determine employees’
exposure to Formaldehyde, notify
employees of their Formaldehyde
exposures, provide medical surveillance
to employees, provide examining
physicians with specific information,
ensure that employees receive a copy of
their medical examination results,
maintain employees’ exposure

monitoring and medical records for
specific periods, and provide access to
these records by OSHA, the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health, the affected employees, and
their authorized representatives.
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, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of the Agency’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 collection
and transmission techniques.
