Abstract: The purpose of this standard and its information collection requirements are to provide protection for workers from the adverse effects associated with occupational exposure to the carcinogen, lead. Employers must monitor exposure to lead, provide medical surveillance, train employees about the hazards of lead, and establish and maintain accurate records of worker exposure to lead. These records are used by employers, workers, physicians, and the Government to ensure that workers are not being harmed by exposure to lead.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The agency is requesting a burden hour adjustment increase of 41,297 (from 1,030,305 hours to 1,071,602 hours). The agency estimates an overall reduction in the number of covered employers (from 53,935 to 53,469) and a decrease in exposed workers (from 331,304 to 327,819), based on updated data. However, overall burden hours increased as a result of an increase in the estimated number of initial exposure monitorings, initial medical examinations, and initial information exchanges between employers and health care professionals. The primary factor contributing to the burden hour increase is an increase in the applied annual job turnover rate, resulting in a higher number of estimated new employees across the whole industry profile. In addition, the Agency identified one new secondary smelting employer which contributed to the increase. Due to the increase in the estimated initial exposure monitoring, initial medical examinations, as well as increased costs to perform biological monitoring and medical examinations under the standard, there is an increase in total operation and maintenance costs of $74,218,567 (from $92,636,813 to $166,855,380).
