On March 31, 2015, the

information collection request (ICR)
titled, ‘‘Methylene Chloride Standard,’’
to the Office of Management and Budget

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Methylene Chloride (MC) Standard
information collection. The purpose of
the Standard and its information
collection requirements, codified at 29
CFR 1910.1052, is to protect workers
from the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to MC. The
requirements in the Standard include:
Worker exposure monitoring, notifying
workers of their MC exposures,
administering medical examinations to
workers, providing examining
physicians with specific program and
worker information, ensuring that
workers receive a copy of their medical
examination results, maintaining
workers’ exposure monitoring and
medical examination records for
specific periods, and providing access to
these records to affected workers and
their authorized representatives.

authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, and 657.
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 that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1218–0179.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
March 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
December 4, 2014 (79 FR 72030).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section by April 30, 2015. In order to
help ensure appropriate consideration,
comments should mention OMB Control
Number 1218–0179. 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,
