information collection requirements is to provide protection for
employees from adverse health effects associated with occupational
exposure to MDA. Employers must monitor exposure, keep employee
exposures within the permissible exposure limits, provide employees
with medical examinations and training, and establish and maintain
employee exposure-monitoring and medical records.

The Agency is requesting an
adjustment increase of 5 burden hours from 293 to 298 hours. This
increase is the result of an increasing job turnover rate from 10%
to 27%, resulting in an increased number of employees that are:
receiving initial medical examinations, being trained, and
requesting access to records. There is an overall adjustment
increase in capital costs of $2,116 (from $19,312 to $21,428)
resulting from an increase in the number of employees receiving
medical examinations and, the cost of a medical examination
increasing from $150 to $168. In addition, the total cost of
exposure monitoring increased as a result of more employees being
covered by the exposure monitoring provisions and an increase in
the cost of a laboratory airborne sample analysis from $100 to
$107.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
