SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Occupational Exposure to Hazardous
Chemicals in Laboratories Standard
applies to laboratories that use
hazardous chemicals in accordance with
the Standard’s definitions for
‘‘laboratory use of hazardous chemicals’’
and ‘‘laboratory scale.’’ The Standard
requires that these laboratories maintain
worker exposures at or below the
permissible exposure limits specified
for the hazardous chemicals in 29 CFR
part 1910, subpart Z. They do so by
developing a written Chemical Hygiene
Plan (CHP) that describes standard
operating procedures for using
hazardous chemicals; hazard-control
techniques; equipment-reliability
measures; worker information-andtraining programs; conditions under
which the employer must approve
operations, procedures, and activities
before implementation; and medical
consultations and examinations. The
CHP also designates personnel
responsible for implementing the CHP
and specifies the procedures used to
provide additional protection to workers
exposed to particularly hazardous
chemicals.
Other information collection
requirements of the Standard include
documenting exposure monitoring
results; notifying workers in writing of
these results; presenting specified
information and training to workers;
establishing a medical surveillance
program for overexposed workers;
providing required information to the
physician; obtaining the physician’s
written opinion on using proper
respiratory equipment; and establishing,
maintaining, transferring, and disclosing
exposure monitoring and medical
records. These collection of information
requirements, including the CHP,
control worker overexposure to

hazardous laboratory chemicals thereby
preventing serious illnesses and death
among workers exposed to such
chemicals.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1218–0131. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
January 31, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 2011 (76 FR
72216).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1218–
0131. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commercial Diving Operations Standard
information collection requirements are
directed toward assuring the safety and

diving and related support operations
conducted by employers involved in
general industry, construction, ship
repairing, shipbuilding, shipbreaking,
and longshoring, and specifies
equipment and procedures that prevent
injury and death among workers
exposed to hazards associated with
diving and diving support operations.
The Standard contains a number of
paperwork requirements codified in
regulations 29 CFR 1910.401(b),
1910.410(a)(3) and (a)(4), 1910.420(a),
