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)).

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 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.

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.
