I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance process to
provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on proposed and
continuing information collection
requirements in accordance 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, the reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, the
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 (see 29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
OSHA to obtain such information with
a minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of effort in obtaining said
information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).
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.
The Asbestos in Construction
Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101) protects
workers from adverse health effects
arising from workplace exposure to
asbestos, including lung cancer,
mesothelioma, asbestosis (an
emphysema-like condition) and
gastrointestinal cancer. The standard
requires employers to monitor worker
exposure, provide medical surveillance,
and maintain accurate records of worker
exposure to asbestos. These records will
be used by employers, workers, and the

E:\FR\FM\14JNN1.SGM

14JNN1

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2018 / Notices
Government to ensure that workers are
not harmed by exposure to asbestos in
the workplace.
The Agency is requesting a burden
hour adjustment decrease of 115,504
(from 3,881,183 hours to 3,765,679).
Using updated data, and the fact that
much of the remediation of asbestos
products has likely taken place, the
Agency estimates a decrease in
employment from 1,338,403 to
1,301,735 workers. Also, the number of
employers has decreased from 1,046,897
to 1,018,215.
III. Proposed Actions
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Asbestos in Construction
Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0134.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 1,018,215.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Number of Responses:
38,279,930.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
3,765,679.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $35,917,810.
