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 cost) 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
the 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
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The 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).
Under the authority granted by the
Act, OSHA published a health
regulation governing access to worker
exposure monitoring data and medical
records. This regulation does not require
employers to collect any information or
to establish any new systems of records.
Rather, it requires that employers
provide workers, their designated
representatives, and OSHA with access
to worker exposure monitoring and
medical records, and any analyses
resulting from these records that
employers must maintain under OSHA’s
toxic chemical and harmful physical
agent standards. In this regard, the
regulation specifies requirements for
record access, record retention, worker
information, trade secret management,
and record transfer. Accordingly, the
Agency attributes the burden hours and
costs associated with exposure
monitoring and measurement, medical
surveillance, and the other activities
required to generate the data governed
by the regulation to the health standards
that specify these activities; therefore,
OSHA did not include these burden
hours and costs in the ICR.
Access to exposure and medical
information enables workers and their
designated representatives to become
directly involved in identifying and
controlling occupational health hazards,
as well as managing and preventing
occupationally-related health
impairment and disease. Providing the
Agency with access to the records
permits it to ascertain whether or not
employers are complying with the
regulation, as well as the recordkeeping
requirements of its other health
standards; therefore, OSHA access
provides additional assurance that
workers and their designated
representative are able to obtain the data
they need to conduct their analyses.
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 workers,
including whether the information is
useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirement,
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 collection of
information requirements specified by
the Regulation on Access to Employee
Exposure and Medical Records (29 CFR
1910.1020). The Agency is requesting to
decrease its current burden hour total
from 720,187 hours to 664,993, a total
decrease of 55,194 hours. This decrease
is the result of the Agency using the
latest NAICS codes covered by the
Regulation to update the number of
establishments. The number of
establishments decreased from
5,108,244 to 4,790,859. The Agency will
summarize the comments submitted in
response to this notice, and will include
this summary in its request to OMB to
extend the approval of these
information collection requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Access to Employee Exposure
and Medical Records (29 CFR
1910.1020).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0065.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal government; State, local,
or tribal governments.
Number of Respondents: 690,591.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from five minutes (.08 hour) for
employers to provide OSHA with access
to records to 10 minutes (.17 hour) to
maintain worker records.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
664,993 hours.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

Maysteel, LLC Including On-Site
Leased Workers From Staff One,
Badger Tech, Boyd Hunter, Seek, QPS,
and Service First, Menomonee Falls,
WI; Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
19 U.S.C. 2273, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to
apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
on March 12, 2010, applicable to
workers of Maysteel, LLC, including onsite leased workers from Staff One,
Badger Tech, Boyd Hunter, Seek, and
QPS, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The
notice will soon be published in the
Federal Register.
At the request of the State Agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activities related
to the production of metal enclosures.
The company reports that workers
leased from Service First were
employed on-site at the Menomonee
Falls, Wisconsin location of Maysteel,
LLC. The Department has determined
that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of the subject firm to
be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased
from Service First working on-site at the
Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin location
of Maysteel, LLC.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–72,483 is hereby issued as
follows:
‘‘All workers of Maysteel, LLC, including
on-site leased workers from Staff One, Badger
Tech, Boyd Hunter, Seek, QPS, and Service
First, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 21, 2008,
through March 12, 2012, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date
of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended.’’
Signed in Washington, DC, this 13th day of
April 2010.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
