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 accordance 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, PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 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). On January 5, 2005, OSHA published the Standards Improvement Project— Phase II, Final rule (70 FR 1112). The final rule removed and revised provisions of standards that were outdated, duplicative, unnecessary, or inconsistent and clarified or simplified regulatory language. The final rule contained several revisions to collections of information contained in the Coke Oven Emissions Standard.1 These revisions included reducing the frequency with which employers must update their compliance plans and allowing employers the option to post employee exposure-monitoring results instead of requiring individual notification. In addition, the final rule reduced the frequency of medical examinations including, the urinary cytology examination; from semiannually to annually. Those changes reduced paperwork burden hours while maintaining worker protection and improving consistently among standards. The information collection requirements in the Coke Oven Emissions Standard provide protection for employees from the adverse health effects associated with exposure to coke oven emissions. In this regard, the Coke Oven Emissions Standard requires employers to monitor employees’ exposure to coke oven emissions, monitor employee health, and provide employees with information about their exposures and the health effects of exposures 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, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the 1 The Office of Management and Budget approved the reduction of 4,426 burden hours after reviewing the Information Collection Request for the Standards Improvement Project—Phase II Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Making, published October 31, 2002 (67 FR 66494).
