submitting responses to the complaint
and the notice of investigation will not

Failure of a respondent to file a timely

deemed to constitute a waiver of the
right to appear and contest the

administrative law judge and the
Commission, without further notice to
the respondent, to find the facts to be as
alleged in the complaint and this notice
and to enter an initial determination
and a final determination containing
such findings, and may result in the
issuance of an exclusion order or a cease
and desist order or both directed against
the respondent.

notice (OSHA–2009–0024). OSHA will
place comments and requests to speak,
including personal information, in the
public docket, which may be available

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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
correct format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understandable,
and OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is correct. The OSH
Act (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as
necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the 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 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).
Sections 6(b)6(A), 6(b)6(B), 6(b)6(C),
6(d), and 16 of the OSH Act, and 29 CFR
1905.10, 1905.11, and 1905.12, specify
the procedures that employers must
follow to apply for a variance from the
requirements of an OSHA standard.
OSHA uses the information collected
under these procedures to: (1) Evaluate
the employer’s claim that the alternative
means of compliance would provide

Jkt 256001

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 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.

U.S.C. 665; 29 CFR 1905.12). The
variance regulations specify the
information that employers must
provide when requesting one of these
variances. The variance application
forms would organize and clarify the
information collection requirements for
each type of variance by specifying the
requirements in comprehensible
language, and providing explanatory
material. Employers applying for a
variance could download and complete
the applicable form from OSHA’s
website. The forms would expedite the
application process for employers, and
ensure that the information on the
application is complete and accurate.
There are no adjustments or program
changes associated with this ICR. The
agency is proposing to retain the
previous burden hour estimate of 366
hours. The agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary
in the request to OMB to approve these
information collection requirements and
variance application forms.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Variance Regulations (29 CFR
1905.10, 1905.11, and 1905.12).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0265.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits and not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Number of Respondents: 48.
Total Responses: 48.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 366.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting OMB approval of
the information collection (paperwork)
requirements contained in Sections
6(b)6(A), 6(b)6(B), 6(b)6(C), 6(d), and 16
of the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970, and 29 CFR 1905.10,
1905.11, and 1905.12. These statutory
and regulatory provisions specify the
requirements for submitting
applications to OSHA for temporary,
experimental, permanent, and national
defense variances.
OSHA is also requesting OMB
approval to develop and use variance
application forms for the four types of
variances specified by the OSH Act and
variance regulations. The four types of
variances are: Temporary variances
(Section 6(b)(6)(A) of the Act; 29 U.S.C.
655; 29 CFR 1905.10); experimental
variances (Section 6(b)(6)(C) of the Act;
29 U.S.C. 655); permanent variances
(Section 6(d) of the Act; 29 U.S.C. 655;
29 CFR 1905.11); and national defense
variances (Section 16 of the Act; 29

level of health and safety protection; (2)
assess the technical feasibility of the
alternative means of compliance; (3)
determine that the employer properly
notified affected employees of the
variance application and their right to a
hearing; and (4) verify that the
