Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 38 / Wednesday, February 26, 2020 / Notices
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined TUVAM’s
expansion application, conducted a
detailed on-site assessment, and
examined other pertinent information.
Based on review of this evidence, OSHA
finds that TUVAM meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of recognition, subject to the
specified limitation and conditions.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with
this final notice to grant TUVAM’s
scope of recognition. OSHA limits the
expansion of TUVAM’s recognition to
include the site at Shanghai, China as
listed above. OSHA’s recognition of this
site limits TUVAM to performing
product testing and certifications only
to the test standards for which the site
has the proper capability and programs,
and for test standards in TUVAM’s
scope of recognition. This limitation is
consistent with the recognition that
OSHA grants to other NRTLs that
operate multiple sites.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
TUVAM also must abide by the
following conditions of the recognition:
1. TUVAM must inform OSHA as
soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key
personnel, and of any major change in
its operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. TUVAM must meet all the terms of
its recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. TUVAM must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
TUVAM’s scope of recognition, in all
areas for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
recognition of TUVAM, subject to these
limitations and conditions specified
above.

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 accordance 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
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
occupationl 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).
The standard protects workers from
the adverse health effects from
occupational exposure to formaldehyde,
including an itchy, runny, and stuffy

nose; a dry or sore throat; eye irritation;
headaches; and cancer of the lung,
buccal cavity (mouth), and pharynyx
(throat). Formaldehyde solutions can
damage the skin and burn the eyes.
The standard specifies a number of
collections of information. The
following is a brief description of the
collection of information contained in
the Formaldehyde Standard. The
standard requires employers to conduct
worker exposure monitoring to
determine workers’ exposure to
formaldehyde, notify workers of their
formaldehyde exposures, provide
medical surveillance to workers,
provide examining physicians with
specific information, ensure that
workers receive a copy of their medical
examination results, maintain workers’
exposure monitoring and medical
records for specific periods, and provide
access to these records by the affected
workers, and their authorized
representatives.
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
the approval of the collection of
information (paperwork) requirements
contained in the Formaldehyde
Standard. The agency is requesting a
1,859 hour adjustment increase (from
238,435 hours to 240,294 burden hours).
The agency is using fractions rather than
decimals in its calculations, so this
accounts for the change in the number
of burden hours.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Formaldehyde Standard (29
CFR 1910.1048).
OMB Number: 1218–0145.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 86,320.
Frequency of Response: Various.
Total Responses: 906,101.
