Failure of a respondent to file a timely

Commission, without further notice to
the respondent, to find the facts to be as
alleged in the complaint and this notice

such findings, and may result in the
issuance of an exclusion order or a cease

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e.,
employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program 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
correct format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understandable,
and OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is correct. The 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 (29 U.S.C. 657).
The OSH Act also requires that OSHA
obtain such information with minimum
burden upon employers, especially
those operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Sections 6(b)6(A), 6(b)6(B), 6(b)6(C),
6(d), and 16 of the OSH Act, and 29 CFR
1905.10, 1905.11, and 1905.12, specify
the procedures that employers must
follow to apply for a variance from the
requirements of an OSHA standard.
OSHA uses the information collected
under these procedures to: (1) Evaluate
the employer’s claim that the alternative
means of compliance would provide

Jkt 256001
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 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.
U.S.C. 665; 29 CFR 1905.12). The
variance regulations specify the
information that employers must
provide when requesting one of these
variances. The variance application
forms would organize and clarify the
information collection requirements for
each type of variance by specifying the
requirements in comprehensible
language, and providing explanatory
material. Employers applying for a
variance could download and complete
the applicable form from OSHA’s
website. The forms would expedite the
application process for employers, and
ensure that the information on the
application is complete and accurate.
There are no adjustments or program
changes associated with this ICR. The
agency is proposing to retain the
previous burden hour estimate of 366
hours. The agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary
in the request to OMB to approve these
information collection requirements and
variance application forms.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Variance Regulations (29 CFR
1905.10, 1905.11, and 1905.12).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0265.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits and not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Number of Respondents: 48.
Total Responses: 48.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 366.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting OMB approval of
the information collection (paperwork)
requirements contained in Sections
6(b)6(A), 6(b)6(B), 6(b)6(C), 6(d), and 16
of the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970, and 29 CFR 1905.10,
1905.11, and 1905.12. These statutory
and regulatory provisions specify the
requirements for submitting
applications to OSHA for temporary,
experimental, permanent, and national
defense variances.
OSHA is also requesting OMB
approval to develop and use variance
application forms for the four types of
variances specified by the OSH Act and
variance regulations. The four types of
variances are: Temporary variances
(Section 6(b)(6)(A) of the Act; 29 U.S.C.
655; 29 CFR 1905.10); experimental
variances (Section 6(b)(6)(C) of the Act;
29 U.S.C. 655); permanent variances
(Section 6(d) of the Act; 29 U.S.C. 655;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program 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 correct format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understandable, and
OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is correct. The
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 (29 U.S.C. 657). The
OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum
burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and
to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of
efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Sections 6(b)6(A), 6(b)6(B), 6(b)6(C), 6(d), and 16 of the OSH Act,
and 29 CFR 1905.10, 1905.11, and 1905.12, specify the procedures that
employers must follow to apply for a variance from the requirements of
an OSHA standard. OSHA uses the information collected under these
procedures to: (1) Evaluate the employer's claim that the alternative
means of compliance would provide affected employees with the requisite
level of health and safety protection; (2) assess the technical
feasibility of the alternative means of compliance; (3) determine that
the employer properly notified affected employees of the variance
application and their right to a hearing; and (4) verify that the
application contains the administrative information required by the
applicable variance regulation.
Currently, no specific forms are available for preparing variance
applications and other documents that may accompany variance
applications. OSHA is developing new forms to assist employers in
preparing variance applications that comply with the information
collection requirements contained in the OSH Act and variance
regulations.
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 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 OMB approval of the information collection
(paperwork) requirements contained in Sections 6(b)6(A), 6(b)6(B),
6(b)6(C), 6(d), and 16 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of

regulatory provisions specify the requirements for submitting
applications to OSHA for temporary, experimental, permanent, and
national defense variances.
OSHA is also requesting OMB approval to develop and use variance
application forms for the four types of variances specified by the OSH
Act and variance regulations. The four types of variances are:
Temporary variances (Section 6(b)(6)(A) of the Act; 29 U.S.C. 655; 29
CFR 1905.10); experimental variances (Section 6(b)(6)(C) of the Act; 29
U.S.C. 655); permanent variances (Section 6(d) of the Act; 29 U.S.C.
655; 29 CFR 1905.11); and national defense variances (Section 16 of the
Act; 29 U.S.C. 665; 29 CFR 1905.12). The variance regulations specify
the information that employers must provide when requesting one of

that the information on the application is complete and accurate.

estimate of 366 hours. The agency will summarize the comments submitted
in response to this notice, and will include this summary in the
