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).
Certification of repair
(§ 1910.177(d)(3)(iv)). This paragraph
requires that when restraining devices
and barriers are removed from service
because they are defective, they shall
not be returned to service until they are
repaired and reinspected. If the repair is
structural, the manufacturer or a
Registered Professional Engineer must
certify that the strength requirements
specified in (§ 1910.177(d)(3)(i) of the
Standard have been met.
The certification records are used to
assure that equipment has been properly
repaired. The certification records also
provide the most efficient means for
OSHA compliance officers to determine
that an employer is complying with the
Standard.
Marking or tagging of wheel
components (§ 1910.177(e)(2)). This
paragraph requires that defective wheels
and wheel components ‘‘be marked or
tagged unserviceable and removed from
the service area.’’ Under this
requirement, OSHA is providing
employers with sufficient information
from which they can derive the wording
to use in marking the object or
constructing a tag. Therefore, this
provision imposes no paperwork burden
because it falls within the portion of 5
CFR 1320(c)(2) that states, ‘‘The public
disclosure of information originally
supplied by the Federal government to
the recipient for the purpose of
disclosure to the public is not included
within this definition [of ‘collection of
information’]’’.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001

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
Bloodborne Pathogens Standard require
employers to: develop and maintain
exposure control plans; develop a
housekeeping schedule; provide
workers with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)
vaccinations, as well as post-exposure
medical evaluations and follow-ups;
maintain medical and training records
for specified periods; and provide
OSHA, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health,
workers and their authorized
representatives with access to these
records, HIV and HBV research
laboratories and production facilities
must also adopt or develop, and review
at least once a year, a biosafety manual,
and establish and maintain a sharps
injury log for the recording of
percutaneous injuries from
contaminated sharps.
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

PO 00000

Sfmt 4703

• 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
The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease in the number of
burden hours from 14,518,778 to
5,528,994 hours. The Agency updated
the industry profile and estimates that
the number of facilities and workers
affected by the Standard has increased.
However, the Agency calculates an
overall decrease in burden hours. This
is primarily related to an administrative
error found in the previous ICR which
overestimated the burden hours and
costs related to healthcare professional
time associated with the Hepatitis B
vaccination. Also, part of the decrease
in burden hours is related to the
determination that the training
provision of the Standard, although still
in effect, is not considered to be a
collection of information. The operation
and maintenance cost increased from
$34,342,534 to $46,093,897 due to the
increase in the cost of medical expenses
associated with the Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Bloodborne Pathogens Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1030).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0180.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 691,669.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Total Responses: 17,815,712.
Average Time per Response: Time per
response varies from 5 minutes (.08
hour) to maintain records to 1.5 hours
for employees to receive training or
medical evaluations.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
5,528,994.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $46,093,897.
