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 (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 OSH

E:\FR\FM\27JYN1.SGM

27JYN1

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 144 / Friday, July 27, 2007 / Notices
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 efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The basic purpose of the information
collection requirements in the Standard
is to document that employers are
providing their employees with
protection from hazardous ionizing
radiation exposure.
Several provisions of the Standard
specify paperwork requirements,
including: Monitoring of employee
exposure to ionizing radiation,
instructing employees on the hazards
associated with ionizing radiation
exposure and precautions to minimize
exposure, posting of caution signs at
radiation areas, reporting of employee
overexposures to OSHA, maintaining
exposure records, and providing
exposure records to current and former
employees.

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
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
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements specified in the
Ionizing Radiation Standard. The
Agency will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in the
request to OMB.

currently approved collection.
