SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

provide employees with information

effects of exposure to BD.

I. Background

III. Proposed Actions

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 (PRA) (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
occupationl 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 BD Standard requires employers
to monitor employee exposure to
1,3-Butadiene; develop and maintain
compliance and exposure goal programs
if employee exposures to BD are above
the Standard’s permissible exposure
limits or action level; label respirator
filter elements to indicate the date and
time it is first installed on the respirator;
establish medical surveillance programs
to monitor employee health, and to

OSHA is requesting that the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) extend
the approval of the collection of
information (paperwork) requirements
contained in the 1,3 Butadiene Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1051). The Agency is
requesting a one hour adjustment (from
916 hours to 915 burden hours). The
adjustment is a result of the elimination
of the federal access from the burden
hour calculation from this ICR.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: The 1,3 Butadiene Standard (29
CFR 1910.1051).
OMB Number: 1218–0170.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit organizations;
Federal Government; State, Local, or
Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Total Responses: 3650.
Average Time per Response: Time per
response ranges from 15 seconds (.004
hour) to write the date and time on each
new cartridge label to 2 hours to
complete a referral medical
examination.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 915.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $112,808.

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.
