SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

E:\FR\FM\24APN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 80 / Thursday, April 24, 2008 / Notices
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)
(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 maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The standard entitled ‘‘Methylene
Chloride’’ (MC) (29 CFR 1910.1052; the
‘‘Standard’’) protects employees from
the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to methylene
chloride. The requirements in the MC
Standard include employee exposure
monitoring, notifying employees of their
MC exposures, administering medical
examinations to employees, providing
examining physicians with specific
program and employee information,
ensuring that employees receive a copy
of their medical examination results,
training employees on the hazards of
MC, maintaining employees’ exposure
monitoring and medical examination
records for specific periods, and
providing 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 OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,

VerDate Aug<31>2005

16:15 Apr 23, 2008

Jkt 214001

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 proposing to extend the
information collection requirements
contained in the Methylene Chloride
Standard (29 CFR 1910.1052). The
Agency is requesting to increase its
current burden hour total from 64,305
hours to 67,362 for a total increase of
3,057 hours. The adjustment is
primarily a result of an increase in the
total number of establishments (from
88,623 to 92,354) based on updated data
obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau
and the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). The
Agency will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements contained in the Standard.
The Agency 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
currently approved information
collection requirements.
Title: Methylene Chloride Standard.
OMB Number: 1218–0179.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; not-for-profit institutions;
Federal government; State, local, or
Tribal governments.
Number of Respondents: 92,354.
Frequency of Response: Annually;
monthly; on occasion.
Total Responses: 287,899.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 1 hour for administering a medical
examination to 5 minutes to maintain an
employee’s medical or exposure record.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
67,362.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $16,753,110.
