SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:

I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
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 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
accurate. The Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C.

E:\FR\FM\23JNN1.SGM

23JNN1

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 23, 2021 / Notices
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 a minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining said information (29 U.S.C.
657).
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
Government to ensure that workers are
not harmed by exposure to asbestos in
the workplace.

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 increase of 433,878.37
burden hours, from, 3,765,456.27 to
4,199,334.64 hours. There are several
reasons for this change in burden.
First, the agency has updated the data
sources used to estimate the number of
respondents and unit costs. Second, in
estimating the change in the number of
buildings that may contain ACM/PACM,
the 2018 ICR mistakenly omitted data
from some years from the calculation.
Correcting this error increases the
number of buildings. Because the
number of buildings is used to calculate

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:13 Jun 22, 2021

Jkt 253001

the number of covered employees, the
number of covered employees increased
as a result of this change, increasing
burden. Finally, this ICR renewal
switches from using rounded decimal
estimates of unit burden to unrounded
fractions (for instance, from 0.08 to 5/60
for an item with five minutes of
burden). This has a net effect of
increasing burden.
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: 1,104,261.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Number of Responses:
41,566,377.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
4,199,334.64.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $66,912,839.51.
