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 OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) 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 OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements specified in the Noise
Standard protect employees from
suffering material hearing impairment.
The information collection requirements
of the Noise Standard include
conducting noise monitoring; notifying
employees when they are exposed at or
above an 8-hour time-weighted average
of 85 decibels; providing employees
with initial and annual audiograms;
notifying employees of a loss in hearing
based on comparing audiograms;
training employees on the effects of
noise, hearing protectors, and
audiometric examinations; maintaining
records of workplace noise exposure
and employee audiograms; and allowing
employees, OSHA, and NIOSH access to
materials and records required by the
Standard.
II. Special Issues for Comments
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
employees, 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 collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
The Agency is requesting a reduction
in burden hours from 5.18 million to an
estimated 2.85 million. The reduction is
a result of reducing the number of
participating employers and employees
in manufacturing industries by 25%.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in the
request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Noise Standard (29 CFR
1910.95).
OMB Number: 1218–0048.
