Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 146 / Tuesday, July 30, 2013 / Notices
Technical Proposal. If an applicant fails
to provide a redacted version of the
Technical Proposal by October 21, 2013,
DOL will publish the original Technical
Proposal in full, after redacting only
personally identifiable information.
(Note that the original, unredacted
version of the Technical Proposal will
remain part of the complete application
package, including an applicant’s
proprietary and confidential business
information and any personally
identifiable information.)
Applicants are encouraged to disclose
as much of the grant application
information as possible, and to redact
only information that clearly is
proprietary, confidential commercial/
business information, or capable of
identifying a person. The redaction of
entire pages or sections of the Technical
Proposal is not appropriate, and will not
be allowed, unless the entire portion
merits such protection. Should a
dispute arise about whether redactions
are appropriate, DOL will follow the
procedures outlined in the Department’s
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
regulations (29 CFR Part 70).
Redacted information in grant
applications will be protected by DOL
from public disclosure in accordance
with federal law, including the Trade
Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. 1905), FOIA, and
the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). If DOL
receives a FOIA request for your
application, the procedures in DOL’s
FOIA regulations for responding to
requests for commercial/business
information submitted to the
government will be followed, as well as
all FOIA exemptions and procedures. 29
CFR 70.26. Consequently, it is possible
that application of FOIA rules may
result in release of information in
response to a FOIA request that an
applicant redacted in its ‘‘redacted
copy.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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
(PRA–95) (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 information collection
requirements specified in the Noise
Standard protect workers from suffering
material hearing impairment. The
Standard requires employers to: Monitor
worker exposure to noise when it is
likely that such exposures may equal or

VerDate Mar<15>2010

14:32 Jul 29, 2013

Jkt 229001

exceed 85 decibels measured on the A
scale (dBA) for an 8-hour time-weighted
average (TWA) (action level); take action
to reduce noise exposures to the 90 dBA
permissible exposure limit (PEL); and
provide an effective hearing
conservation program (HCP) for all
workers exposed to noise at a level
greater than, or equal to, a TWA of 85
dBA.
The HCP contains information on:
Conducting noise monitoring; notifying
workers when they are exposed at or
above an 8-hour time-weighted average
of 85 decibels; providing workers with
initial and annual audiograms; notifying
workers of a loss in hearing based on
comparing audiograms; training workers
on the effects of noise, hearing
protectors, and audiometric
examinations; maintaining records of
workplace noise exposure and workers’
audiograms; and allowing OSHA,
workers, and their designated
representatives access to materials and
records required by the Standard.
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 an adjustment
decrease of burden hours associated
with the paperwork requirements in the
Standard from 2,604,597 hours to
2,068,736 hours (a total decrease of
535,861 hours). The Agency is also
requesting an adjustment decrease in
the cost under Item 13 from $82,190,075
to $26,296,876; a total decrease of
$55,893,199. The Agency determined
that it had counted the cost of worker
travel and the cost of worker time under
Item 12 in previous ICRs. Thus, it found
that it had been double counting hours
under certain instances.
OSHA has reduced the number of
establishments and workers by 19.6%.
The 19.6% reduction reflects that
virtually all sectors affected by the
Noise Standard are in manufacturing;

PO 00000

Frm 00076

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

and, that the number of workers in
manufacturing has decreased from 13.3
million in 2009 to 10.7 million today.
Additionally, the Agency has
determined that training is not subject
to PRA–95 and has removed the burden
hours and cost associated with it.
The Agency is requesting a decrease
in the burden hours from 2,604,597 to
2,068,736 hours for a total decrease of
535,861 hours. The reduction is a result
of a 19.6% reduction in the number of
workers and manufacturing
establishments. Also, the Agency now
assumes that 50% of small
establishment workers will receive
audiometric exams via mobile testing
vans. The previous ICR assumed that all
small establishment workers would go
off-site to receive their audiometric
examination.
OSHA 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 the information collection
requirements contained in the
Occupational Exposure to Noise
Standard (29 CFR 1910.95).
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Occupational Exposure to Noise
(29 CFR 1910.95).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0048.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 209,851.
Total Responses: 16,458,932.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 1 minute (.02 hour) for a manager
to provide a worker with a copy of a
referral or notification of the need for an
ontological examination to 1 hour for a
worker to travel to a testing site, take the
audiometric exam and return to work.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
2,068,736.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $26,296,876.
