60-day Preclearance FRN

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2012 / Notices
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 in the Lead in General
Industry Standard are designed to
reduce occupational lead exposure in
general industry. Lead exposure can
result in both acute and chronic effects
and can be fatal in severe cases of lead
toxicity. The standard specifies the
following requirements that impose
paperwork burdens on employers:
Establishing a compliance program and
notifying laundry personnel of lead
hazards; instituting programs for
exposure monitoring and medical
surveillance (including medical
examinations); notifying workers of
exposure levels and biological
monitoring results; the option for
multiple physician review; providing
information to physicians; obtaining
written medical opinions; implementing
worker information and training
programs; recording medical removals;
maintaining and transferring records of
exposure monitoring and medical
surveillance results, medical removals,
and objective data used for the initial
exposure monitoring exemption; and
making records available to specified
parties.
II. Special Issues for Comment

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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 an adjustment
decrease in burden hours from
1,225,253 to 1,127,123 (a total decrease
of 98,130 hours). The adjustment is
primarily due to a reduction in plants
and a decrease in covered workers,
based on updated data.

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

Jkt 226001

(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 purpose of the Lead in
Construction Standard and its
information collection requirements is
to reduce occupational lead exposure in
the construction industry. Lead
exposure can result in both acute and
chronic effects and can be fatal in severe
cases of lead toxicity. Some of the
health effects associated with lead
exposure include brain disorders which
can lead to seizures, coma, and death;
anemia; neurological problems; high
blood pressure; kidney problems;
reproductive problems; and decreased
red blood cell production. The Standard
requires that employers: Establish and
maintain a training program; review the
compliance program annually; provide
exposure monitoring and medical
surveillance programs; and maintain
exposure monitoring and medical
surveillance records. The records are
used by employees, physicians,
employers and OSHA to determine the
effectiveness of the employer’s
compliance efforts. The Standard seeks
to reduce disease by requiring exposure
monitoring to determine if lead
exposures are too high, by requiring
medical surveillance to determine if
employee blood lead levels are too high,
and by requiring treatment to reduce
blood lead levels.
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 accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the

• 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 an adjustment
increase in burden hours from 1,363,802
to 1,425,907 (a total increase of 62,105
hours). The adjustment is primarily due
to estimated increases in the number of
firms, based on updated data and
estimates.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

Total Responses: 9,366,454.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 1 minute (.02 hour) for a clerical
employee to notify employees of their
right to seek a second medical opinion
to 8 hours to develop a compliance
plan.
Estimated Total
Burden Hours: 1,425,907.
