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
(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 Standard protects workers from
the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to methylene
chloride (MC). The requirements in the
Standard include worker exposure
monitoring, notifying workers of their
MC exposures, administering medical
examinations to workers, providing
examining physicians with specific
program and worker information,
ensuring that workers receive a copy of
their medical examination results,
maintaining workers’ exposure
monitoring and medical examination
records for specific periods, and
providing access to these records by
OSHA, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, the
affected workers, and their authorized
representatives.
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
The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease in the number of
burden hours from 63,560 to 54,481
hours (a total decrease of 9,079 hours).
The reduction is a result the Agency’s
estimate, based on updated data, that
the number of establishments and
workers affected by the Standard has
decreased. 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 estimated
operation and maintenance cost
increased from $19,214,570 to
$19,381,635 due to the increase in the
cost of medical exams and exposure
monitoring associated with the
Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
