Agency: Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection. Title: Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (Hazwoper) (29 CFR 1910.120). OMB Number: 1218–0202. Frequency: On occasion. Type of Response: Recordkeeping and Third party disclosure. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal Government; and State, local, or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 35,529. Number of Annual Responses: 1,198,868. Estimated Time per Response: Varies from one minute to maintain a certification record to 24 hours for initial employee training. Total Burden Hours: 1,235,602. Total Annualized capital/startup costs: $0. Total Annual Costs (operating/ maintaining systems or purchasing services): $3,350,750. Description: The 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 employees are trained properly about the safety and health hazards associated with hazardous waste operations and emergency response to hazardous waste releases. OSHA uses the records developed in response to this standard to find adequate compliance with the 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. Ira L. Mills, Departmental Clearance Officer. [FR Doc.

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 OSHA 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). In 
this regard, the 1,3-Butadiene Standard requires employers to monitor 
employee exposure to 1,3-Butadiene; development and maintain compliance 
and exposure-goal programs if employee exposures to 1,3-Butadiene are 
above the Standard's permissable exposure limits or action level; label 
respirator filter elements to indicate the date and time it is first 
installed on the respirator; establish medical surveillance programs to 
monitor employee health, and to provide employees with information 
about their exposures and the health effects of exposure to 1,3-
Butadiene.

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 will have practical utility;
     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 are to 
respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of 
responses.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting OMB to extend their approval of the information 
collection requirements contained in the 1,3 Butadiene Standard. OSHA 
will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice, and 
will include this summary in it's request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved information 
collection requirements.
    Title: 1,3 Butadiene Standard (29 CFR 1910.1051).
    OMB Number: 1218-0170.
