In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1074, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
(19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of
Labor issued a Revised Determination

in activities related to the supply of
transportation services. The revised
notice was published in the Federal
Register on December 29, 2011 (76 FR

New information provided by the
company revealed that workers of the
Secaucus, New Jersey location of MGM
Transport, a subsidiary of CF Holding

services to a certified Trade Adjustment

amending this revised determination to

The intent of the Department’s revised

workers from the adverse health effects
that may result from their exposure to
cadmium. The major information
collection requirements of the Standard
include: conducting worker exposure
monitoring, notifying workers of their
cadmium exposures, implementing a
written compliance program,
implementing medical surveillance of
workers, providing examining
physicians with specific information,
ensuring that workers receive a copy of
their medical surveillance results,
maintaining workers’ exposure
monitoring and medical surveillance
records for specific periods, and
providing access to these records by
OSHA, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, the
worker who is the subject of the records,
the worker’s representative, and other
designated parties.

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.
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 OSH 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). 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).

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Cadmium in Construction Standard (29
CFR 1926.1127). The Agency is
proposing to retain its previous estimate
of 37,231 burden hours; however, it is
proposing to increase the currently
approved operation and maintenance
costs from $1,775,457 to $1,930,703, a
total increase of $155,246. The increase
is due to the Agency increasing the cost
to perform medical surveillance and
exposure monitoring.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
