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 accord 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

PO 00000

Frm 00128

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

19737

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 information collection
requirements specified in the Asbestos
in Shipyards Standard protect workers
from the adverse health effects that may
result from occupational exposure to
asbestos. The major information
collection requirements in the Standard
include: Implementing an exposure
monitoring program that informs
workers of their exposure-monitoring
results; at multi-employer worksites,
when establishing regulated areas for
the type of work performed with
asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
and/or presumed asbestos-containing
materials (PACMs), employers notifying
other on-site employers of the
requirements that pertain to regulated
areas, and the measures the employers
can use to protect their workers from
asbestos overexposure; developing
specific information and training
programs for workers; providing
medical surveillance for workers
potentially exposed to ACMs and/or
PACMs, including administering a
worker medical questionnaire,
providing information to the examining
physician, and providing the
physician’s written opinion to the
worker; and maintaining records of
objective data used for exposure
determinations, worker exposure
monitoring and medical surveillance
records, training records, the record
(i.e., information, data, and analyses)
used to demonstrate that PACMs do not
contain asbestos, and notifications made
and received by building/facility owners
regarding the content of ACMs and
PACMs.
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;

E:\FR\FM\02APN1.SGM

19738

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 63 / Monday, April 2, 2012 / Notices

• 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 Asbestos in Shipyards
Standard (29 CFR 1915.1001). The
Agency is requesting a decrease in its
current burden hour total from 1,623
hours to 1,613, for a total decrease of 10
hours. The adjustment is primarily the
result of a decrease in the number of
shipyards that may have employees
exposed to asbestos. The Agency will
summarize the comments submitted in
response to this notice and will include
this summary in the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Asbestos in Shipyards Standard
(29 CFR 1915.1001).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0195.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Government; State,
Local or Tribal Government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 5 minutes (.08 hour) to provide
information to the examining physician
to 1.83 hours to develop alternative
control methods.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,613.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $37,650.
