Theda Kenney or Todd Owen,
Directorate of Standards and Guidance,

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
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

Sfmt 4703

operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The collections of information in the
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI))
Standards for General Industry (29 CFR
1910.1026), Shipyard Employment (29
CFR 1915.1026), and Construction (29
CFR 1926.1126) (the ‘‘Standards’’)
protect workers from the adverse health
effects that may result from
occupational exposure to hexavalent
chromium. The major collections of
information in these Standards include
conducting worker exposure
monitoring, notifying workers of their
chromium exposures, implementing
medical surveillance of workers,
providing examining physicians with
specific information, implementing a
respiratory protection program,
notifying laundry personnel of
chromium hazards and maintaining
workers’ exposure monitoring and
medical surveillance records for specific
periods.
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 47,615 burden
hours (from 541,582 to 493,967 burden
hours). The decrease in burden hours is
due to an estimated decrease of exposed
workers and a reduction in the number
of plants in specific industry sectors.
There is also an estimated increase in
operation and maintenance costs of
$123,015, from $46,589,912 to
$46,712,927. The increase in operation
and maintenance costs is due to the
increase in exposure monitoring air
sampling costs, medical exam and
testing costs, and costs of materials for
qualitative fit testing.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–271; NRC–2015–0111]

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.;
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power
Station
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Exemption; issuance.
AGENCY:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is granting
exemptions in response to a request
from Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
(ENO or the licensee) regarding certain
emergency planning (EP) requirements.
The exemptions will eliminate the
requirements to maintain formal offsite
radiological emergency plans and
reduce the scope of the onsite EP
activities at the Vermont Yankee
Nuclear Power Station (VY), based on
the reduced risks of accidents that could
result in an offsite radiological release at
the decommissioning nuclear power
reactor. Provisions would still exist for
offsite agencies to take protective
actions, using a comprehensive
emergency management plan (CEMP) to
protect public health and safety, if
protective actions were needed in the
event of a very unlikely accident that
could challenge the safe storage of spent
fuel.
