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 accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA)(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

17DEN1
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
78774
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 242 / Thursday, December 17, 2015 / Notices
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 specified in the 4′,4′—
Methylenedianiline Standard for
Construction (the ‘‘MDA Standard’’) (29
CFR 1926.60) protect employees from
the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to MDA,
including cancer, liver and skin disease.
The major paperwork requirements
specify that employers must perform
initial, periodic, and additional
exposure monitoring; notify each
worker in writing of their results as soon
as possible but no longer than 5 days
after receiving exposure monitoring
results; and routinely inspect the hands,
face, and forearms of each worker
potentially exposed to MDA for signs of
dermal exposure to MDA. Employers
must also: establish a written
compliance program; institute a
respiratory protection program in accord
with 29 CFR 1910.134 (OSHA’s
Respiratory Protection Standard); and
develop a written emergency plan for
any construction operation that could
have an MDA emergency (i.e., an
unexpected and potentially hazardous
release of MDA).
Employers must label any material or
products containing MDA, including
containers used to store MDAcontaminated protective clothing and
equipment. They also must inform
personnel who launder MDAcontaminated clothing of the
requirement to prevent release of MDA,
and personnel who launder or clean
MDA-contaminated protective clothing
or equipment must receive information
about the potentially harmful effects of
MDA. In addition, employers must post
warning signs at entrances or access
ways to regulated areas, as well as train
workers exposed to MDA at the time of
their initial assignment, and at least
annually thereafter.
Other paperwork provisions of the
MDA Standard require employers to
provide workers with medical
examinations, including initial,
periodic, emergency and follow-up
examinations. As part of the medicalsurveillance program, employers must
ensure that the examining physician
receives specific written information,
and that they obtain from the physician
a written opinion regarding the worker’s
medical results and exposure
limitations.
The MDA Standard also specifies that
employers are to establish and maintain
exposure-monitoring and medicalsurveillance records for each worker
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
who is subject to these requirements,
make any required record available to
OSHA compliance officers and the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) for
examination and copying, and provide
exposure-monitoring and medicalsurveillance records to workers and
their designated representatives.
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
The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 43 burden hours
to 986 burden hours. The decrease is a
result of removing burden hours for
training because the Agency, upon
further consideration, does not believe
that training is covered by the PRA.
The Agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice and will include this summary in
the request to OMB to extend the
approval of the information collection
requirements contained in the MDA
Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: 4, 4′—Methylenedialine in
Construction Standard (29 CFR
1926.60).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0183.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit organizations;
Federal Government; State, Local, or
Tribal Government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 5 minutes (.08 hour) for employers
to provide information to the physician
to 2 hours for initial monitoring.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 986.

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 collection of
information 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 OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and

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 collections of information in the
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI))
Standards for General Industry (29 CFR
1910.1026), Shipyard Employment (29
CFR 1915.1026), and Construction (29
CFR 1926.1126) (the ‘‘Standards’’)
protect workers from the adverse health
effects that may result from
occupational exposure to hexavalent
chromium. The major collections of
information in these Standards include
conducting worker exposure
monitoring, notifying workers of their
chromium exposures, implementing
medical surveillance of workers,
providing examining physicians with
specific information, implementing a
respiratory protection program,
notifying laundry personnel of
chromium hazards and maintaining
workers’ exposure monitoring and
medical surveillance records for specific
periods.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information 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
collection of information 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
The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 47,615 burden
hours (from 541,582 to 493,967 burden
hours). The decrease in burden hours is
due to an estimated decrease of exposed
workers and a reduction in the number
of plants in specific industry sectors.
There is also an estimated increase in
operation and maintenance costs of
$123,015, from $46,589,912 to
$46,712,927. The increase in operation
and maintenance costs is due to the
increase in exposure monitoring air
sampling costs, medical exam and
testing costs, and costs of materials for
qualitative fit testing.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

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 accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA)(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
[[Page 78774]]
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 specified in the 4',4'--
Methylenedianiline Standard for Construction (the ``MDA Standard'') (29
CFR 1926.60) protect employees from the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to MDA, including cancer, liver and skin
disease. The major paperwork requirements specify that employers must
perform initial, periodic, and additional exposure monitoring; notify
each worker in writing of their results as soon as possible but no
longer than 5 days after receiving exposure monitoring results; and
routinely inspect the hands, face, and forearms of each worker
potentially exposed to MDA for signs of dermal exposure to MDA.
Employers must also: establish a written compliance program; institute
a respiratory protection program in accord with 29 CFR 1910.134 (OSHA's
Respiratory Protection Standard); and develop a written emergency plan
for any construction operation that could have an MDA emergency (i.e.,
an unexpected and potentially hazardous release of MDA).
Employers must label any material or products containing MDA,
including containers used to store MDA-contaminated protective clothing
and equipment. They also must inform personnel who launder MDA-
contaminated clothing of the requirement to prevent release of MDA, and
personnel who launder or clean MDA-contaminated protective clothing or
equipment must receive information about the potentially harmful
effects of MDA. In addition, employers must post warning signs at
entrances or access ways to regulated areas, as well as train workers
exposed to MDA at the time of their initial assignment, and at least
annually thereafter.
Other paperwork provisions of the MDA Standard require employers to
provide workers with medical examinations, including initial, periodic,
emergency and follow-up examinations. As part of the medical-
surveillance program, employers must ensure that the examining
physician receives specific written information, and that they obtain
from the physician a written opinion regarding the worker's medical
results and exposure limitations.
The MDA Standard also specifies that employers are to establish and
maintain exposure-monitoring and medical-surveillance records for each
worker who is subject to these requirements, make any required record
available to OSHA compliance officers and the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for examination and copying, and
provide exposure-monitoring and medical-surveillance records to workers
and their designated representatives.
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
The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 43 burden hours
to 986 burden hours. The decrease is a result of removing burden hours
for training because the Agency, upon further consideration, does not
believe that training is covered by the PRA.
The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information collection requirements
contained in the MDA Standard.
