Federal Register notice) are listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
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 accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, 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 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 effort in
obtaining information (See 29 U.S.C.
657).

The Standard on Lead in General
Industry (29 CFR 1910.1025) requires
initial and periodic exposure
monitoring and measurements, medical
surveillance by physicians through
biological monitoring and examinations,
and recordkeeping and notification
obligations. These requirements help
protect workers from the adverse health
effects that may result from their
occupational involvement with lead,
and provide access to these records by
OSHA, the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, the
affected workers, and designated
representatives. The major information
collection requirements of this standard
include the following elements of the
Standard.
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 to protect workers,
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
The agency is requesting an adjusted
increase in burden hours, from
1,071,602 hours to 1,134,438 hours, a
difference of 62,836 hours. The increase
in burden is due to the increase in the
number of professional establishments,
going from 53,469 to 56,906, which
increased the number of exposed
employees by 46,166, from 767,878
employees to 814,044 employees. Also,
due to the decrease in the estimated
initial exposure monitoring, initial
medical examinations, as well as
decreased costs to perform biological
monitoring and medical examinations
under the standard, there is a decrease
in total operation and maintenance costs
of $21,775,260 (from $166,855,380 to
$145,080,120).
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.
