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, 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).
The information collection
requirements in the Hazard
Communication Standard (‘‘the
Standard’’) ensure that the hazards of
chemicals produced or imported are
evaluated, and that information
concerning these hazards is transmitted
to downstream employers and their
employees. The Standard requires
chemical manufacturers and importers
to evaluate chemicals they produce or
import to determine if they are
hazardous; for those chemicals
determined to be hazardous, they must
develop material safety data sheets and
warning labels. Employers are required
to establish hazard communication
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
programs to transmit information on the
hazards of chemicals to their employees
by means of labels on containers,
material safety data sheets, and training
programs.
Implementation of these collection of
information requirements will ensure
that employees understand the hazards
and identities of the chemicals to which
they are exposed, thereby reducing the
incidence of chemically-related
occupational illnesses and injuries.
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 proposes to extend the Office
of Management and Budget’s (OMB)
approval of the collection of information
(paperwork) requirements necessitated
by the Hazard Communication Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1200; 1915.1200; 1917.28;
1918.90; 1926.59; and 1928.21). The
Agency is requesting a 3 million hour
increase adjustment, mainly as a result
of increasing the estimated number of
affected nonmanufacturing
establishments.
The Agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary
in its request to OMB to extend the
approval of the collection of information
requirements contained in the Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved information
collection requirements.
