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 collections of
information 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
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 standard protects workers from the
adverse health effects from occupational
exposure to formaldehyde, including an
itchy, runny, and stuffy nose; a dry or
sore throat; eye irritation; headaches;
and cancer of the lung, buccal cavity
(mouth), and pharynyx (throat).
Formaldehyde solutions can damage the
skin and burn the eyes.
The standard specifies a number of
collections of information. The
PO 00000
Frm 00104
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
50563
following is a brief description of the
collections of information contained in
the Formaldehyde Standard. The
standard requires employers to conduct
worker exposure monitoring to
determine workers’ exposure to
formaldehyde, notify workers of their
formaldehyde exposures, provide
medical surveillance to workers,
provide examining physicians with
specific information, ensure that
workers receive a copy of their medical
examination results, maintain workers’
exposure monitoring and medical
records for specific periods, and provide
access to these records by the affected
workers, and their authorized
representatives.
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 increase of 581 burden
hours (from 237,854 to 238,435 burden
hours). The increase in burden hours is
due to an estimated increase in the
number of covered establishments and
workers. There is also an estimated
increase in operation and maintenance
costs of $1,835,764, from $ 41,724,296
to $43,560,060. The increase in
operation and maintenance costs is due
to the estimated increase in the number
of covered workers undergoing exposure
monitoring and medical exams.
OSHA is providing the following
summary information about the
Formaldehyde Standard information
collection:
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

CFR 1910.1048).
