agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

Title of Collection: Access to
Employee Exposure and Medical
Records (29 CFR 1910.1020)

Description: Under the authority
granted by the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970, OSHA published a
health regulation governing access to
worker exposure monitoring data and
medical records. This regulation does
not require employers to collect any
information or to establish any new
systems of records. Rather, it requires
that employers provide workers, their
designated representatives, and OSHA
with access to worker exposure
monitoring and medical records, and
any analyses resulting from these
records that employers must maintain
under OSHA’s toxic chemical and
harmful physical agent standards. In
this regard, the regulation specifies
requirements for record access, record
retention, worker information, trade
secret management, and record transfer.
Accordingly, the Agency attributes the
burden hours and costs associated with
exposure monitoring and measurement,
medical surveillance, and the other
activities required to generate the data
governed by the regulation to the health
standards that specify these activities;
therefore, OSHA did not include these
burden hours and costs in the ICR.
Access to exposure and medical
information enables workers and their
E:\FR\FM\30AUN1.SGM

designated representatives to become
directly involved in identifying and
controlling occupational health hazards,
as well as managing and preventing
occupationally-related health
impairment and disease. Providing the
Agency with access to the records
permits it to ascertain whether or not
employers are complying with the
regulation, as well as the recordkeeping
requirements of its other health
standards; therefore, OSHA access
provides additional assurance that
workers and their designated
representative are able to obtain the data
they need to conduct their analyses.
For additional information, see the
related 60-day preclearance notice
published in the Federal Register, April
26, 2010, (Vol. 75, page 21662).

Wacker Neuson Corporation, a
Subsidiary of Wacker Neuson SE,
Menomonee Falls, WI; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated August 17, 2010,
a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
affirmative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
certification of eligibility was issued on
July 30, 2010. The Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on August 13, 2010 (75
FR 49530). The workers produce a
variety of construction equipment and
are not separately identifiable by
product line.
The initial investigation resulted in a
positive determination based on the
findings that a significant proportion or
number of the workers at the subject
firm were totally or partially separated,
or threatened with such separation, that
the subject firm has shifted to a foreign
country the production of articles like or
directly competitive with the
construction equipment produced by
the workers, and that this shift of
production contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the subject
firm.
In the request for reconsideration, the
company official states that the shift
abroad did not contribute importantly to
worker separations at the subject firm
because the article shifted required only
a few workers and that once the work
was shifted abroad, the workers were
reassigned to other product lines. The
company official further states that the
separated workers have been recalled to
work because the production of the
other lines have increased despite the
shift of production of the one line of
construction equipment to the
Philippines.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record, and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
