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)
(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

jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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 OSHA to 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 EtO Standard (29 CFR 1910.1047)
specifies a number of paperwork
requirements. The following is a brief
description of the collection of
information requirements contained in
the standard.
The information collection
requirements specified in the Ethylene
Oxide Standard protect workers from
the adverse health effects that may
result from occupational exposure to
ethylene oxide. The principal
information collection requirements in
the EtO Standard include conducting
worker exposure monitoring, notifying
workers of the exposure, implementing
a written compliance program, and
implementing medical surveillance of
workers. Also, the examining physician
must provide specific information to
ensure that workers receive a copy of
their medical examination results. The
employer must maintain exposuremonitoring and medical records for
specific periods, and provide access to
these records by OSHA, the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health, the affected workers, and their
authorized representatives and other
designated parties.
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
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements specified in the
Ethylene Oxide Standard. The Agency is
requesting an overall adjustment
decrease of burden hours, from 35,051
to 27,880 burden hours. The decrease in
burden hours is primarily due to a
decrease in the number of
establishments covered by the Standard.
The Agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary
in its request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Ethylene Oxide (29 CFR
1910.1047).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0108.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 1,869.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
annually; on occasion.
Total Responses: 148,443.
Average Time per Response: Various.
Burden Hours: 27,880.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $4,250,569.
