II. Notice of Preliminary Findings
OSHA is providing notice that QPS is
applying for renewal of its recognition
as a NRTL. This renewal covers QPS’s
existing NRTL scope of recognition.
OSHA evaluated QPS’s application for
renewal and preliminarily determined
that QPS can continue to meet the
requirements prescribed by 29 CFR
1910.7 for recognition. OSHA has
determined that it does not need to
conduct an on-site review of QPS’s
facility, based on its evaluations of
QPS’s application and all other
available information. This information
includes OSHA’s most recent audit of
QPS’s NRTL recognized site during this
recognition period, and the satisfactory
resolution of non-conformances with
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7.
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether QPS meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for renewal of their
recognition as a NRTL. Comments
should consist of pertinent written
documents and exhibits. Commenters
needing more time to comment must
submit a request in writing, stating the
reasons for the request. OSHA must
receive the written request for an
extension by the due date for comments.
OSHA will limit any extension to 30
days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a
request for an extension if it is not
adequately justified. To obtain or review
copies of the publicly available
information in QPS’s application and
other pertinent documents (including
exhibits), as well as all submitted
comments, contact the Docket Office,
Room N–3653, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor; these materials also are
available online at https://
www.regulations.gov under Docket No.
OSHA–2010–0046.
OSHA staff will review all comments
to the docket submitted in a timely
manner and, after addressing the issues
raised by these comments (if any), will
make a recommendation to the Assistant
Secretary on whether to grant QPS’s
application for renewal. The Assistant
Secretary will make the final decision
on granting the application and, in
making this decision, may undertake
other proceedings prescribed in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.
OSHA will publish a public notice of
this final decision in the Federal
Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Seleda Perryman or Theda Kenney,
Directorate of Standards and Guidance,
OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor,
telephone (202) 693–2222.
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).
The information collection
requirements specified in the 13
Carcinogens Standard (29 CFR
1920.1003, 1915.1003, and 1926.1103)
protect workers from the adverse health
effects that may result from their
exposure to the specified carcinogens.
The following is a brief description of
the collection of information
requirements contained in the 13
Carcinogens Standard: Establishing and
implementing a medical surveillance
program for workers assigned to enter
regulated areas; informing workers of
their medical examination results; and
providing workers with access to their
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
medical records. Further, employers
must retain worker medical records for
specified time periods and make them
available upon request to OSHA and
NIOSH.
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 an adjustment increase
of 105.34 hours (from 1,504 hours to 1,609.34
hours). The increase is a result of a slight
growth in the number of establishments
affected by the Standard from 101 to 104
establishments. This results in an increase in
the number of workers receiving medical
examinations, from 695 to 716. The agency
is also requesting an adjustment cost increase
of $191,794, which is the result of an
increase in the cost of medical examinations
from $166 to $429. The cost of the physical
exam is $180 and the hospital fee for out-ofnetwork/uninsured patient is $249. This
explains the 61% increase in cost of the
medical cost.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
Title: The 13 Carcinogens Standard (29
CFR 1910.1003, 1915.1003, and 1926.1103).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0085.
Affected Public: Businesses or other forprofits.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion,
annually.
Average Time per Response: Time per
response ranges from approximately 5
minutes (for employers to maintain records)
to 2 hours (for worker medical surveillance).
Number of Respondents: 1,640.
Total Responses: 1,640.
Burden Hours: 1,609.34.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $307,164.
