Standards and Guidance, OSHA, U.S.
Department of Labor; telephone (202)
693–2222.
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 Standard protects workers from
the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to methylene
chloride (MC). The requirements in the
Standard include worker exposure
monitoring, notifying workers of their
MC exposures, administering medical
examinations to workers, providing
examining physicians with specific
program and worker information,
ensuring that workers receive a copy of
their medical examination results,
maintaining workers’ exposure
monitoring and medical examination
records for specific periods, and
providing access to these records by
OSHA, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, 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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:55 Aug 12, 2024

Jkt 262001

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, and
transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Methylene Chloride Standard. The
agency is requesting an adjustment
increase in the burden hours amount
from 61,813 hours to 65,555 hours, a
difference of 3,742 hours. This increase
is due increase in the number of
establishments from 84,595 to 89,760.
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: Methylene Chloride Standard.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0179.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 89,760.
Number of Responses: 251,235.
Frequency of Responses: Varies.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
65,555.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
