N–3609, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW.,

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
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 Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) is undertaking a
rulemaking effort directed toward
requiring employers to establish injury
and illness prevention programs to
monitor and more effectively implement
practices to mitigate workplace hazards,
thereby reducing the incidence of
employee injuries and illnesses. OSHA
believes that widespread
implementation of such programs will
substantially improve overall workplace
safety and health conditions.
To gain information needed to
support this rulemaking effort, OSHA is
proposing to conduct a statistical survey
of private sector establishments in nonagricultural industries. The goal of the
survey is to develop industry-specific,
statistically accurate estimates of the
current prevalence of a variety of
baseline safety and health practices that

PO 00000

Frm 00073

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

48993

may be elements of injury and illness
prevention programs among
establishments. OSHA also proposes to
conduct case study interviews in two
sectors: (1) establishments in the
agriculture sector to assess the
prevalence of safety and health practices
among farms with more than 10
workers; and (2) interviews with
government officials in State Plan states
to assess safety and heath practices
among agencies and departments
operated by state and local governments
in State Plan states.
In addition to the statistical survey
(Baseline Safety and Health Practices)
described above—which also includes
‘‘case studies’’ in two industry sectors
that could not be adequately sampled by
the survey methodology—the Agency is
proposing to conduct as many as 50 site
visits to employers. These employers
could potentially be affected by a new
standard that could require a
management program or system to
address workplace hazards. Site visits
would collect information on current
employer practices (much like the
information collected in the ‘‘case
studies’’ and the survey questionnaire
itself), but also solicit information from
employers on how they would comply
with such a regulation and what time or
costs would be required to do so. Site
visit reports capture much richer detail
about employer conditions than the
survey instrument, reflecting variations
of employer size and industry sector.
These site visits would be conducted
either by OSHA personnel or a
contractor under the agency’s direction.
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
OSHA is requesting OMB approval of
the collection of information
(paperwork) requirements contained in
the Baseline Safety and Health Practices
Survey. The hour burden of the

information collection effort for the
study is 4,177 hours. The burden hour
estimates are based on tests of the length
of time each type of respondent is likely
to need to respond to the survey
questions. The total cost to respondents
is $213,153. This is a one-time data
collection effort.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,

ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for

AGENCY:

The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when no longer needed for current

Government business. They authorize
the preservation of records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of
records lacking administrative, legal,
research, or other value. Notice is
published for records schedules in
which agencies propose to destroy
records not previously authorized for
disposal or reduce the retention period
of records already authorized for
disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such records schedules, as
required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: Requests for copies must be
received in writing on or before
September 13, 2010. Once the appraisal
of the records is completed, NARA will
send a copy of the schedule. NARA staff
usually prepare appraisal
memorandums that contain additional
information concerning the records
covered by a proposed schedule. These,
too, may be requested and will be
provided once the appraisal is
completed. Requesters will be given 30
days to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting the Life Cycle
Management Division (NWML) using
one of the following means:
Mail: NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi
Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.
E-mail: [email protected].
FAX: 301–837–3698.
Requesters must cite the control
number, which appears in parentheses
after the name of the agency which
submitted the schedule, and must
provide a mailing address. Those who
desire appraisal reports should so
indicate in their request.

Each year
Federal agencies create billions of
records on paper, film, magnetic tape,
and other media. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing retention
periods for records and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval, using
the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for
Records Disposition Authority. These
schedules provide for the timely transfer
into the National Archives of
historically valuable records and
authorize the disposal of all other
records after the agency no longer needs
