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 collection of
information 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

PO 00000

Frm 00096

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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 General
Industry Standard and its collection of
information requirements is 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 contains the following
collection of information requirements:
Conducting worker exposure
monitoring; notifying workers of their
lead exposure levels; establishing,
implementing and reviewing a written
compliance program annually; labeling
containers of contaminated protective
clothing and equipment; providing
medical surveillance to workers;
providing examining physicians with
specific information; notifying workers
of their medical surveillance results
(including medical examinations and
biological monitoring) and of the option
for multiple physician review; posting
warning signs; establishing and
maintaining exposure monitoring,
medical surveillance, and medical
removal records; and providing workers
with access to these records. The
records are used by employees,
physicians, employers and OSHA to
determine the effectiveness of the
employer’s compliance efforts.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information 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
collection of information 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 of 75,092 burden
hours (from 1,105,397 to 1,030,305
burden hours). The decrease in burden
hours is due to an estimated overall
decrease in the number of covered
establishments, based on updated data
and estimates. There is also an
estimated decrease in operation and
maintenance costs of $50,556,032, from
$143,192,845 to $92,636,813. The
decrease in operation and maintenance
costs is due to an estimated decrease in
the cost of biological medical
surveillance, due to the Agency’s
identification of a new data source
which indicates a lower cost for
biological monitoring tests than
previously assumed.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Lead in General Industry
Standard (29 CFR 1910.1025).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0092.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 53,935.
Frequency of Response: On occasion;
Quarterly; Bi-monthly; Semi-annually;
Annually.
Total Responses: 3,616,044.
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:
1,030,305.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $92,636,813.
