Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 84 / Monday, May 2, 2022 / Notices
the health effects of exposure to coke
oven emissions.
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 to protect workers,
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 an adjustment
decrease in the existing burden hour
estimate for the collection of
information requirements in the
Standard. In this regard, the Agency is
requesting to decrease the current
burden hour estimate from 51,644 to
40,845 hours, a total adjustment of
10,799 hours. The Agency believes that
the NAICS code used is an
overestimation and is updating the
strategy used for this determination.
Also, there is a cost increase in the cost
under Item 13 from $1,079,664 to
$1,234,455 (an increase of $154,791).
This cost adjustment was the result of
an increase in the cost of a medical
examination.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Coke Oven Emissions Standards
(29CFR 1910.1029).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0128.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 3,984.
Number of Responses: 38,225.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from five minutes to obtain a
physician’s certificate to 12 hours to
develop a compliance program.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
40,845.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $1,234,455.

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
desired format, 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. 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
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 effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to reduce employees’
risk of death or serious injury by
ensuring that employment has been
tested and is in safe operating condition.
The information collection
requirements specified in the 4′,4′Methylenedianiline Standard for
Construction (the ‘‘MDA Standard’’) (29
CFR 1926.60) protect employees from
the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to MDA,
including cancer, liver and skin disease.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:20 Apr 29, 2022

Jkt 256001

The major paperwork requirements
specify that employers must perform
initial, periodic, and additional
exposure monitoring; notify each
worker in writing of their results as soon
as possible but no longer than 5 days
after receiving exposure monitoring
results; and routinely inspect the hands,
face, and forearms of each worker
potentially exposed to MDA for signs of
dermal exposure to MDA. Employers
must also: establish a written
compliance program; institute a
respiratory protection program in
accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134
(OSHA’s Respiratory Protection
Standard); and develop a written
emergency plan for any construction
operation that could have an MDA
emergency (i.e., an unexpected and
potentially hazardous release of MDA).
Employers must label any material or
products containing MDA, including
containers used to store MDAcontaminated protective clothing and
equipment. They also must inform
personnel who launder MDAcontaminated clothing of the
requirement to prevent release of MDA,
and personnel who launder or clean
MDA-contaminated protective clothing
or equipment must receive information
about the potentially harmful effects of
MDA. In addition, employers must post
warning signs at entrances or access
ways to regulated areas, as well as train
workers exposed to MDA at the time of
their initial assignment, and at least
annually thereafter.
Other paperwork provisions of the
MDA Standard require employers to
provide workers with medical
examinations, including initial,
periodic, emergency and follow-up
examinations. As part of the medicalsurveillance program, employers must
ensure that the examining physician
receives specific written information,
and that they obtain from the physician
a written opinion regarding the worker’s
medical results and exposure
limitations.
The MDA Standard also specifies that
employers are to establish and maintain
exposure-monitoring and medicalsurveillance records for each worker
who is subject to these requirements,
make any required record available to
OSHA compliance officers and the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) for
examination and copying, and provide
exposure-monitoring and medicalsurveillance records to workers and
their designated 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 to protect workers,
including whether the information is
useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,

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 20 hours, from
986 to 1,006 hours and a cost increase
of $68,724 to $146,718. There are two
main reasons for this adjustment. First,
the agency has updated the data sources
used to estimate the number of
respondents, burden, and cost (such as
the loaded hourly wage rates, turnover
rate and unit cost for laboratory analysis
and medical exams). Second, 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).
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.

obstacles people with disabilities face in
planning, response and recovery from
these events?
3. What unforeseen obstacles will the
disability community need to address
