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 Standard on Occupational
Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in
Laboratories applies to laboratories that
use hazardous chemicals in accordance
with the Standard’s definitions for
‘‘laboratory use of hazardous chemicals’’
and ‘‘laboratory scale.’’ The Standard
requires that these laboratories maintain
worker exposures at or below the
permissible exposure limits specified
for the hazardous chemicals in 29 CFR
Part 1910, Subpart Z. They do so by
developing a written Chemical Hygiene
Plan (CHP) that describes standard
operating procedures for using
hazardous chemicals; hazard-control
techniques; equipment-reliability
measures; worker information-andtraining programs; conditions under
which the employer must approve
operations, procedures, and activities
before implementation; and medical
consultations and examinations. The
CHP also designates personnel
responsible for implementing the CHP
and specifies the procedures used to
provide additional protection to workers
exposed to particularly hazardous
chemicals.
Other information collection
requirements of the Standard include
documenting exposure monitoring
results; notifying workers in writing of
these results; presenting specified
information and training to workers;

PO 00000

Frm 00059

Fmt 4703

establishing a medical surveillance
program for overexposed workers;
providing required information to the
physician; obtaining the physician’s
written opinion on using proper
respiratory equipment; and establishing,
maintaining, transferring, and disclosing
exposure monitoring and medical
records. These collection of information
requirements, including the CHP,
control worker overexposure to
hazardous laboratory chemicals thereby
preventing serious illnesses and death
among workers exposed to such
chemicals.
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 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 proposing to extend the
information collection requirements
contained in the Standard on
Occupational Exposure to Hazardous
Chemicals in Laboratories (29 CFR
1910.1450). The Agency is proposing to
increase its current burden hour
estimate from 281,086 hours to 293,373
hours (an increase of 12,287 burden
hours). This increase is primarily a
result of an increase in the number of
facilities being monitored.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Occupational Exposure to
Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories
(29 CFR 1910.1450)
OMB Number: 1218–0131.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 48,461.
Frequency: Varies from 3 minutes (.05

manual to 1 hour to develop a new
manual.
Total Responses: 911,113.
Average Time per Response:
Annually; monthly; quarterly; semiannually; on occasion.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:

National Environmental Policy Act;
NASA Routine Payloads on
Expendable Launch Vehicles
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
ACTION: Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI).
AGENCY:

Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321, et
seq.), the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) Regulations for
Implementing the Procedural Provisions
of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and
NASA policy and procedures (14 CFR
part 1216 subpart 1216.3), NASA has
made a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) with respect to the proposed
launch of NASA Routine Payloads on
expendable launch vehicles. The
proposed launches would occur from
existing launch facilities at Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS),
Florida, Vandenberg Air Force Base
(VAFB), California, the United States
Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site
(USAKA/RTS) in the Republic of the
Marshall Islands (RMI), NASA’s
Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), Virginia,
and the Kodiak Launch Complex (KLC),
Alaska.
This FONSI summarizes NASA’s
consideration of environmental impacts
for routine payloads being launched at
facilities addressed in the draft
Environmental Assessment (EA) for
NASA Routine Payloads on Expendable
Launch Vehicles dated August 2011.
The final EA updates the Final
Environmental Assessment for Launch
of NASA Routine Payloads on
Expendable Launch Vehicles from Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station Florida and
Vandenberg Air Force Base California
published in June 2002 (2002 NRP EA).
The final EA and FONSI incorporate by
reference the 2002 NRP EA. For
completeness, much of the June 2002
NRP EA is restated in this final EA.
