SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Standard on 4,4′-Methylenedianiline for General Industry (29 CFR 1910.1050) information collection. 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 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the 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 efforts in obtaining information (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The information collection PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Impact date requirements specified in the 4,4′Methylenedianiline Standard for General Industry (the ‘‘MDA Standard’’) (29 CFR 1910.1050) protect workers 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 five (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 accordance with OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134); and to 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 MDAcontaminated clothing of the requirement to prevent release of MDA, while personnel who launder or clean MDA-contaminated protective clothing or equipment must receive information about the potentially harmful effects of MDA. In addition, employers are to 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 E:\FR\FM\29JAN1.SGM 29JAN1

(2) The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the

(III) Imports of articles directly incorporating one or more
component parts produced outside the United States that are like or
directly competitive with imports of articles incorporating one or more
component parts produced by such firm have increased;
AND
(iii) The increase in imports described in clause (ii) contributed
importantly to such workers' separation or threat of separation and to
the decline in the sales or production of such firm; OR
(B) Shift in Production or Services to a Foreign Country Path OR
Acquisition of Articles or Services from a Foreign Country Path:
(i) (I) There has been a shift by such workers' firm to a foreign
country in the production of articles or the supply of services like or

articles or services that are like or directly competitive with
articles which are produced or services which are supplied by such

Commission and a certification issued regarding eligibility to apply
