Criminal
justice agencies may still obtain NIJ’s
Compliant Products List (CPL) for
metallic handcuffs that are compliant
with NIJ Standard 0307.01 via the
contact information below until
December 31, 2018 by sending a request
from an agency email address. While the
CPL has remained published during the
transition period, agencies should be
aware that NIJ discontinued the metallic
handcuffs Compliance Test Program on
September 14, 2016 (https://
www.federalregister.gov/d/2016-22057)
and the CPL has not been updated since
then. For criminal justice agencies
wishing to purchase or procure
restraints certified to meet NIJ Standard
1001.00, NIJ suggests the following
procurement language: ‘‘Restraints
tested in accordance with NIJ Standard
1001.00 and certified by a certification
body recognized by the National
Institute of Justice.’’ Please note that
restraints are certified by the NIJrecognized private sector organization.
They are not certified by NIJ, and the
products should not be referred to as
‘‘NIJ certified.’’ More information on NIJ
Standard 1001.00, Criminal Justice
Restraints Standard, and certification of
restraints may be found at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD 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 process 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, the reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, the
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 (see 29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
OSHA to obtain such information with
a minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of effort in obtaining said
information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).
The collection of information
requirements specified in the Cadmium
in Construction Standard protect
workers from the adverse health effects
that may result from their exposure to
cadmium. The major collection of
information requirements of the
Standard include: Conducting worker
exposure monitoring, notifying workers
of their cadmium exposures,
implementing a written compliance
program, implementing medical
surveillance of workers, providing
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:28 Aug 14, 2018
Jkt 244001
examining physicians with specific
information, ensuring that workers
receive a copy of their medical
surveillance results, maintaining
workers’ exposure monitoring and
medical surveillance records for specific
periods, and providing access to these
records by the worker who is the subject
of the records, the worker’s
representative, and other designated
parties.
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 not seeking a burdenhour adjustment and will summarize
any comments submitted in response to
this notice and will include this
summary in its request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Cadmium in Construction (29
CFR 1926.1127).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0186.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Frequency: On occasion; Quarterly;
Semi-annually; Annually.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from five minutes (.08 hour) for an
employer to notify a worker with
exposure monitoring results to 1.5 hours
to administer worker medical
examinations.
Estimated Number of Responses:
258,250.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
33,720.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $2,211,445.
