I. Background
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) allows the mine operator or
representative of miners to file a
petition to modify the application of any
mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary of Labor
determines that:
1. An alternative method of achieving
the result of such standard exists which
will at all times guarantee no less than
the same measure of protection afforded
the miners of such mine by such
standard; or
2. That the application of such
standard to such mine will result in a
diminution of safety to the miners in
such mine.
In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR
44.10 and 44.11 establish the
requirements and procedures for filing
petitions for modification.

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
(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

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 176 / Monday, September 12, 2016 / Notices
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).
Under the authority granted by the
OSH Act, OSHA published a health
regulation governing access to employee
exposure monitoring data and medical
records. This regulation does not require
employers to collect any information or
to establish any new systems of records.
Rather, it requires that employers
provide workers, their designated
representatives, and OSHA with access
to employee exposure monitoring and
medical records, and any analyses
resulting from these records that
employers must maintain under OSHA’s
toxic chemical and harmful physical
agent standards. In this regard, the
regulation specifies requirements for
record access, record retention, worker
information, trade secret management,
and record transfer. Accordingly, the
Agency attributes the burden hours and
costs associated with exposure
monitoring and measurement, medical
surveillance, and the other activities
required to generate the data governed
by the regulation to the health standards
that specify these activities; therefore,
OSHA did not include these burden
hours and costs in this ICR.
Access to exposure and medical
information enables employees and
their designated representatives to
become directly involved in identifying
and controlling occupational health
hazards, as well as managing and
preventing occupationally-related
health impairment and disease.
Providing the Agency with access to the
records permits it to ascertain whether
or not employers are complying with
the regulation, as well as with the
recordkeeping requirements of its other
health standards; therefore, OSHA
access provides additional assurance
that workers and their designated
representatives are able to obtain the
data they need to conduct their
analyses.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:40 Sep 09, 2016

Jkt 238001

• 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 14,477 burden
hours (from 730,515 to 716,038 burden
hours). The decrease is the result of an
adjustment in the number of
establishments used in this analysis
decreasing from 759,668 to 739,432, a
total adjustment of 20,236.
