Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 238 / Monday, December 12, 2011 / Notices
General Information
The attention of interested persons is
directed to the following:
(1) The fact that a transaction is the
subject of an exemption under section
408(a) of the Act and/or section
4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve
a fiduciary or other party in interest or
disqualified person from certain other
provisions to which the exemption does
not apply and the general fiduciary
responsibility provisions of section 404
of the Act, which among other things
require a fiduciary to discharge his
duties respecting the plan solely in the
interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan and in a
prudent fashion in accordance with
section 404(a)(1)(B) of the Act; nor does
it affect the requirement of section
401(a) of the Code that the plan must
operate for the exclusive benefit of the
employees of the employer maintaining
the plan and their beneficiaries;
(2) This exemption is supplemental to
and not in derogation of, any other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including statutory or administrative
exemptions and transactional rules.
Furthermore, the fact that a transaction
is subject to an administrative or
statutory exemption is not dispositive of
whether the transaction is in fact a
prohibited transaction; and
(3) The availability of this exemption
is subject to the express condition that
the material facts and representations
contained in the application accurately
describes all material terms of the
transaction which is the subject of the
exemption.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of
December, 2011.

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 (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 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
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements specified in the
Acrylonitrile (AN) Standard protect
workers from the adverse health effects
that may result from their exposure to
AN. The major information collection
requirements of the AN Standard
include notifying workers of their AN
exposures, implementing a written
compliance program, providing
examining physicians with specific
information, ensuring that workers
receive a copy of their medical
examination results, maintaining
workers’ exposure monitoring and
medical records for specific periods,
and providing access to these records by
OSHA, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, the
affected workers, and designated
representatives.
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;
E:\FR\FM\12DEN1.SGM
12DEN1
77268
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 238 / Monday, December 12, 2011 / Notices
• 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
The Agency is requesting an
adjustment in the burden hours from
3,163 to 2,199, a total decrease of 864
hours. The change in burden hours is
due to reducing the number of plants
using AN. There was also a reduction in
cost from $180,946 to $146,718 as a
result of fewer workers receiving
exposure monitoring and medical
examinations.
The Agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary
in the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Acrylonitrile Standard (29 CFR
1910.1045).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0126.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits:
Number of Respondents: 17.
Total Responses: 5,624.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 5 minutes (.08 hour) to provide
information to the examining physician
to 1.5 hours for a worker to receive a
medical examination.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2,299.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $146,718.
