SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collection requirements of
the Standard on Asbestos in
Construction require employers to train
workers about hazards to asbestos, to
monitor worker exposure, to provide
medical surveillance, and maintain
accurate records of worker exposure to
asbestos. These records will be used by
employers, workers and the Government
to ensure that workers are not harmed
by exposure to asbestos in the
workplace. Years of exposure to
asbestos can cause numerous disabling
or fatal diseases, including asbestosis, a
disease in which lung scarring (fibrosis)
impairs breathing and causes death from
respiratory or heart failure; lung cancer;
mesothelioma, a cancerous tumor that
spreads rapidly in the cells of
membranes covering the lungs and body
organs; and gastrointestinal cancer. The
standard protects workers from adverse
health effects from occupational
exposure to asbestos.
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 1218–0134. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
March 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 January 25, 2012 (77 FR
3798).
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–
0134. 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.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the Act) section 18 encourages
States to assume responsibility for the
development and enforcement of State
occupational safety and health
standards through the mechanism of an
approved State plan. Absent a plan
approved by the OSHA, States are

20436
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 4, 2012 / Notices
preempted from asserting enforcement
jurisdiction over any occupational
safety and health issue with respect to
which a Federal standard has been
promulgated. Section 18 establishes the
basic criteria for State plan approval;
provides for the discretionary exercise
of concurrent Federal enforcement
jurisdiction after initial plan approval
until such time as the State has
demonstrated that it is meeting the
approval criteria in actual operation
(final State Plan approval), at which
point Federal enforcement jurisdiction
may be relinquished; provides that State
standards and enforcement must be, and
continue to be, at least as effective as the
Federal program including any changes
thereto; and requires OSHA to make a
continuing evaluation of the manner in
which the State is implementing its
program and to take action to withdraw
plan approval should there be a failure
to substantially comply with any
provision of the State plan. States
choosing to operate OSHA-approved
State plans must provide information to
document their programs are at least as
effective as the Federal OSHA program.
In order to obtain and maintain State
Plan approval, a State must submit
various documents to OSHA describing
its program structure and operation,
including any modifications thereto as
they occur, in accordance with the
identified regulations.
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 1218–0247. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
March 31, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
