SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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 OSHA to obtain such
information with minimum burden
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:38 Jun 06, 2013
Jkt 229001
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 basic purpose of the information
collection requirements in the Standard
is to document that employers in
general industry are providing their
workers with protection from exposure
to hazardous asbestos. Asbestos
exposure results in asbestosis, an
emphysema-like condition; lung cancer;
mesothelioma; and gastrointestinal
cancer.
Several provisions of the Standard
specify paperwork requirements,
including: implementing an exposure
monitoring program that notifies
workers of their exposure monitoring
results, establishing a written
compliance program, and informing
laundry personnel of the requirement to
prevent release of airborne asbestos
above the time-weighted average and
excursion limit. Other provisions
associated with paperwork requirements
include: Maintaining records of
information obtained concerning the
presence, location, and quantity of
asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
and/or presumed asbestos-containing
materials (PACMs) in a building/facility;
notifying housekeeping workers of the
presence and location of ACMs and
PACMs in areas they may occupy
during their work; posting warning
signs demarcating regulated areas;
posting signs in mechanical rooms/areas
that workers may enter and that contain
ACMs and PACMs, informing them of
the identity and location of these
materials and about work practices that
prevent disturbing the materials; and
affixing warning labels to asbestoscontaining products and to containers
holding such products. Additional
provisions that contain paperwork
requirements include: Using
information, data, and analyses to
demonstrate that PACMs do not contain
asbestos; providing medical surveillance
for workers potentially exposed to
ACMs and/or PACMs, including
administering a worker medical
questionnaire, providing information to
the examining physician, and providing
the physician’s written opinion to the
worker; maintaining records of exposure
monitoring, objective data used for
exposure determinations, and medical
surveillance; and making specified
records (e.g., exposure monitoring and
medical surveillance records) available
to designated parties.
These paperwork requirements permit
employers, workers and their designated
representatives, OSHA, and other
specified parties to determine the
PO 00000
Frm 00095
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
34407
effectiveness of an employer’s asbestoscontrol program. Accordingly, the
requirements ensure that workers
exposed to asbestos receive all of the
protections afforded by the Standard.
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;
• 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
OSHA is requesting an adjustment
decrease in burden hours from 11,932 to
11,694 (a total decrease of 238 hours).
The reason for this reduction is the
removal of burden hours associated
with the requirement that employers
provide training to workers. Upon
further analysis, this provision is not
considered to be a collection of
information under PRA–95.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

CFR 1910.1001).
