SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
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)
(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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:04 Oct 24, 2019

Jkt 250001

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).
The information collection
requirements in the Hexavalent
Chromium 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
information collection requirements in
the 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 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
The agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 72,001 burden
hours (from 493,968 to 421,967 burden
hours). The agency estimates an overall
increase in the estimated number of
covered establishments in specific

PO 00000

Frm 00108

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

57489

industry sectors. However, due to the
identification of a calculation error in
the previous ICR, the burden hours
associated with the establishment
increase is off-set by a burden hour
reduction associated with employee
time to conduct quarterly exposure
monitoring. In addition, there is an
estimated decrease of $3,273,026 in
operation and maintenance costs from
$46,712,927 to $43,439,901. The
decrease in these costs was due to a
lower wage for contractors than the one
used previously. This resulted in
operating and maintenance costs that
were lower than that reported in the
previous ICR.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

Statement (SEIS) for Soil Cleanup
Activities at Santa Susana Field

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the
Draft Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (SEIS) to the March
2014 Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS) for demolition and
environmental cleanup activities for the
NASA-administered portion of the
Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL),
Ventura County, California. This SEIS
AGENCY:

will cover the soil cleanup activities at
NASA’s portion of SSFL.
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as
amended, the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations for Implementing
the Procedural Provisions of NEPA, and
NASA’s NEPA policy and procedures,
NASA has prepared a Draft SEIS for soil
cleanup activities at SSFL in Ventura
County, California. The Draft SEIS has
been prepared because there are
significant new circumstances relevant
to environmental concerns bearing on
the proposed action and its impacts.
Specifically, the estimated quantity of
soil required to be removed has
increased substantially since the
publication of the 2014 FEIS. This
increase has the potential to alter the
environmental impacts that were
evaluated in the 2014 FEIS. For this
reason, NASA has determined it is
appropriate to prepare a supplement to
the 2014 FEIS.
DATES: Interested parties are invited to
submit comments, preferably in writing,
within forty-five (45) calendar days from
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the Notice of Availability of
the Draft SEIS on October 25, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Comments submitted by
mail should be addressed to Peter
Zorba, SSFL Project Director, 5800
Woolsey Canyon Road, Canoga Park, CA
91304. Comments may be submitted via
email to [email protected].
The Draft SEIS may be reviewed at the

associated planning process and
documentation (as available) may be

Department of Toxic Substances Control
(DTSC) website at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of this Notice is to announce
the issuance and public availability of
the Draft SEIS for review and comment,
establish a 45 calendar day comment
period, inform the public of where the
document may be reviewed and
comments can be submitted, and the
date and time of public meetings. The
Draft SEIS is intended to inform NASA
decision makers, regulating agencies,
and the public about the environmental
impact of proposed soil cleanup in the
NASA-administered portion of SSFL.
The SSFL site is 2,850 acres located in
Ventura County, California,
approximately seven miles northwest of
Canoga Park and approximately 30
miles northwest of downtown Los
Angeles. SSFL is located near the crest
of the Simi Hills, which are part of the
Santa Monica Mountains running eastwest across Southern California. The
diverse terrain consists of ridges,
canyons, and sandstone rock outcrops.
SSFL is composed of four areas known
as Areas I, II, III, and IV and two
‘‘undeveloped’’ areas. The NASAadministered portion is 41.7 acres
within Area I and all 409.5 acres of Area
II. The Boeing Company (Boeing) owns
the remaining 2,398.8 acres within
Areas I, III, IV, and the two undeveloped
areas. The Department of Energy (DOE)
is responsible for building demolition
and cleanup of soils and groundwater in
Area IV and the Northern Buffer Zone.
Since the mid-1950s, when the federal
government portion of SSFL was
administered by the U.S. Air Force, this
site has been used for developing and
testing rocket engines. Four test stand
complexes were constructed in Area II
between 1954 and 1957 named Alfa,
Bravo, Coca, and Delta. These test stand
areas along with the Liquid Oxygen
(LOX) Plant portion of Area I were
acquired by NASA from the U.S. Air
Force in the 1970s.
The NASA-administered portion of
SSFL contain historical and cultural
resources associated with rocket
development, along with a number of
significant archeological sites. NASA
has conducted several surveys to
identify and locate archeological and
architectural resources within its
