SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
‘‘Lead in General Industry Standard’’
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 (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 purpose of the Lead in General
Industry Standard (29 CFR 1910.1025)
and the collection of information
requirements is to reduce occupational
lead exposure in general industry. Lead
exposure can result in both acute and
chronic effects and can be fatal in severe
cases of lead toxicity. The standard
contains the following collection of
PO 00000
Frm 00111
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

information requirements: Conducting
worker exposure monitoring; notifying
workers of their lead exposure levels;
establishing, implementing and
reviewing a written compliance program
annually; labeling containers of
contaminated protective clothing and
equipment; providing medical
surveillance to workers; providing
examining physicians with specific
information; notifying workers of their
medical surveillance results (including
medical examinations and biological
monitoring) and of the option for
multiple physician review; posting
warning signs; establishing and
maintaining exposure monitoring,
medical surveillance, and medical
removal records; and providing workers
with access to these records. The
records are used by employees,
physicians, employers, and OSHA to
determine the effectiveness of the
employer’s compliance efforts.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
under the PRA approves it and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
In addition, notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, no person shall
generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains
OMB approval for this information
collection under Control Number 1218–
0092.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
January 31, 2020. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
August 27, 2019 (84 FR 44931).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty-(30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 21 / Friday, January 31, 2020 / Notices

interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

maximum extent feasible unnecessary

information collection requirements
specified in the Benzene Standard (29
CFR 1910.1028) protects workers from
the adverse health effects that may
result from occupational exposure to
benzene. The major information
collection requirements in the Standard
include conducting worker exposure
monitoring, notifying workers of the
benzene exposure, implementing a
written compliance program,
implementing medical surveillance for
workers, providing examining
physicians with specific information,
ensuring that workers receive a copy of
their medical surveillance records, and
providing access to these records by
OSHA, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, the
worker who is the subject of the records,
the worker’s representative, and other
designated parties.
