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 accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (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
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
E:\FR\FM\19AUN1.SGM
19AUN1
50326
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 160 / Wednesday, August 19, 2015 / Notices
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The HAZWOPER Standard specifies a
number of collection of information
(paperwork) requirements. Employers
can use the information collected under
the HAZWOPER rule to develop the
various programs the Standard requires
and to ensure that their workers are
trained properly about the safety and
health hazards associated with
hazardous waste operations and
emergency response to hazardous waste
releases. OSHA will use the records
developed in response to this Standard
to determine adequate compliance with
the Standard’s safety and health
provisions. The employer’s failure to
collect and distribute the information
required in this standard will affect
significantly OSHA’s effort to control
and reduce injuries and fatalities. Such
failure would also be contrary to the
direction Congress provided in The
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA).
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 the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) extend
the approval of the collection of
information (paperwork) requirements
contained in the standard on Hazardous
Waste Operations and Emergency
Response (HAZWOPER) (29 CFR
1910.120). The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 988 burden
hours from the previous submission
(from 262,539 hours to 261,551 hours).
This adjustment is due primarily to a
slight decline in the number of
emergency response organizations from
30,125 to 30,052 (a decline of 73
organizations).
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
