SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 accord 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 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 in the Coke Oven
Emissions Standard provide protection
for workers from the adverse health
effects associated with exposure to coke
oven emissions. In this regard, the Coke
Oven Emissions Standard requires
employers to monitor workers’ exposure
to coke oven emissions, monitor worker
health, and provide workers with
information about their exposures and

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.

the health effects of exposure to coke
oven emissions.
Sfmt 4703
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the

1910.1029).
OSHA is requesting an adjustment
decrease of 2,448 burden hours (from
54,241 hours to 51,793 hours). The
adjustment decrease is due to a decrease
in the number of batteries that are
subject to the Standard. The adjustment
of the burden hours are shown in detail
by provision in the supporting
statement.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Coke Oven Emissions Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1029).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0128.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 19.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Total Responses: 41,348.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from five minutes (.08 hour) to obtain a
physician’s certificate to 12 hours to
develop a compliance program.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
51,793.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $884,787.
