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
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and

PO 00000

Frm 00179

Fmt 4703

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 information collection
requirements specified in the Noise
Standard protect workers from suffering
material hearing impairment. The
information collection requirements of
the Noise Standard include conducting
noise monitoring; notifying workers
when they are exposed at or above an
8-hour time-weighted average of 85
decibels; providing workers with initial
and annual audiograms; notifying
workers of a loss in hearing based on
comparing audiograms; training workers
on the effects of noise, hearing
protectors, and audiometric
examinations; maintaining records of
workplace noise exposure and workers’
audiograms; and allowing workers,
OSHA, and NIOSH access to materials
and records required by the Standard.
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,
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 decrease
in the burden hours from 2,853,730 to
2,604,597, a total decrease of 249,133
hours. The reduction is a result of an
8.3% reduction in the number of
workers and manufacturing
establishments. Also, the Agency now
assumes that 50% of small
establishment workers will receive
audiometric exams via mobile testing
vans. The previous ICR assumed that all
small establishment workers would go
off-site to receive their audiometric
examination.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in its
request to OMB to extend the approval
