SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
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)
(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

01OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 1, 2019 / Notices
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES
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 Respirable Crystalline Silica
Standards for general industry and
maritime (29 CFR 1910.1053) and
construction (29 CFR 1926.1053)
contain the following information
collection requirements: Conducting
worker exposure assessments and
notifying workers of the assessment
results and any corrective actions being
taken; establishing, implementing,
reviewing, evaluating, and updating a
written exposure control plan and
making the plan available to workers
and designated representatives; creating
and submitting air quality permit
notifications; establishing a respiratory
protection program; providing
qualitative fit-testing and maintaining
records; providing medical surveillance
to workers; providing the physician or
other licensed health care provider
(PLHCP), or the specialist, with specific
information; ensuring that the PLHCP,
or specialist, explains the results of the
medical examination to the employee
and provides each employee with a
copy of their written medical report;
obtaining a written medical opinion
from the PLHCP, or specialist, and
ensuring that each employee receives a
copy of the opinion; and making and
maintaining air monitoring data,
objective data, and medical surveillance
records; and providing workers and
designated representatives with access
to these records. The records are used
by workers, employers, and OSHA to
determine the effectiveness of the
employer’s compliance efforts.
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;
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
52145
• 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.
Estimated Number of Responses:
8,170,908.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
12,466,017.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $393,789,901.
III. Proposed Actions
IV. Public Participation—Submission of
Comments on This Notice and Internet
Access to Comments and Submissions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Respirable Crystalline Silica Standards
for General Industry, Maritime and
Construction. The agency requests
approval for an adjustment increase of
347,653 burden hours (from 12,118,364
to 12,466,017). The requested
adjustment increase is associated with
the agency’s correction of several
administrative errors in the previous
ICR. Specifically, the adjustment would
include additional burden hours for the
development and updating of the
written exposure control plan associated
with medium-sized general industry
establishments. In addition, the
adjustment would add additional
burden hours for employers to provide
information to a physician or other
licensed health care professional in
association with employee periodic
medical examinations. These burden
hours were displayed in the previous
ICR spreadsheets as costs incurred after
the initial year of standard
implementation, but were not included
in the burden hour totals in the previous
ICR. The adjustment also would add
additional burden hours for managers to
ensure worker receipt of the PLHCP and
specialist’s written medical report and
distribute the PLHCP and specialist’s
written medical opinion to workers and
the employer in association with
employee initial, periodic, and
additional medical examinations. The
request seeks approval to maintain all
other previously approved burden
hours.
The agency also requests approval to
maintain the previously approved
operation and maintenance costs of
$393,789,901.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a 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) (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
[[Page 52145]]
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 Respirable Crystalline Silica Standards for general industry
and maritime (29 CFR 1910.1053) and construction (29 CFR 1926.1053)
contain the following information collection requirements: Conducting
worker exposure assessments and notifying workers of the assessment
results and any corrective actions being taken; establishing,
implementing, reviewing, evaluating, and updating a written exposure
control plan and making the plan available to workers and designated
representatives; creating and submitting air quality permit
notifications; establishing a respiratory protection program; providing
qualitative fit-testing and maintaining records; providing medical
surveillance to workers; providing the physician or other licensed
health care provider (PLHCP), or the specialist, with specific
information; ensuring that the PLHCP, or specialist, explains the
results of the medical examination to the employee and provides each
employee with a copy of their written medical report; obtaining a
written medical opinion from the PLHCP, or specialist, and ensuring
that each employee receives a copy of the opinion; and making and
maintaining air monitoring data, objective data, and medical
surveillance records; and providing workers and designated
representatives with access to these records. The records are used by
workers, employers, and OSHA to determine the effectiveness of the
employer's compliance efforts.
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
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Respirable Crystalline Silica
Standards for General Industry, Maritime and Construction. The agency
requests approval for an adjustment increase of 347,653 burden hours
(from 12,118,364 to 12,466,017). The requested adjustment increase is
associated with the agency's correction of several administrative
errors in the previous ICR. Specifically, the adjustment would include
additional burden hours for the development and updating of the written
exposure control plan associated with medium-sized general industry
establishments. In addition, the adjustment would add additional burden
hours for employers to provide information to a physician or other
licensed health care professional in association with employee periodic
medical examinations. These burden hours were displayed in the previous
ICR spreadsheets as costs incurred after the initial year of standard
implementation, but were not included in the burden hour totals in the
previous ICR. The adjustment also would add additional burden hours for
managers to ensure worker receipt of the PLHCP and specialist's written
medical report and distribute the PLHCP and specialist's written
medical opinion to workers and the employer in association with
employee initial, periodic, and additional medical examinations. The
request seeks approval to maintain all other previously approved burden
hours.
The agency also requests approval to maintain the previously
approved operation and maintenance costs of $393,789,901.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
