Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 54 / Tuesday, March 21, 2023 / Notices
registration form requires that the new
user applicant provide information on
their job specialization and affiliation
and can be accessed through the button
labeled ‘‘New User (other than federal
OSHA).’’
The OSHA Office of Training and
Education uses the collected job
specialization and affiliation
information to sort reporting data
quarterly, especially total student
attendance, student attendance by each
offered course, and student
demographics and job affiliations (e.g.,
safety, health, and whistleblower
investigator job titles).
The agency uses the information
collected under the ‘‘Course
Information,’’ ‘‘Personal Data,’’ and
‘‘Employer Data’’ to identify private
sector students so that it can collect
tuition costs from them or their
employers as authorized by 31 U.S.C.
9701 (‘‘Fees and Charges for
Government Services and Things of
Value’’); Office of Management and
Budget Circular A–25 (‘‘User Charges’’);
and 29 CFR part 1949 (‘‘Office of
Training and Education, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration’’).
The information in the ‘‘Personal Data’’
and ‘‘Emergency Contacts’’ categories
permits OSHA to contact students if an
emergency arises at their home, place of
employment, or local accommodations,
and to alert supervisors/alternate
contacts of a trainee’s injury or illness.

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
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Student Data Form. The agency is also
requesting a decrease in the burden
hour estimate of 166 hours (from 333
hours to 167 hours). This reduction is a
result of decreased student enrollments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance process 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
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
that OSHA 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
information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).
The Respirable Crystalline Silica
Standards for general industry (29 CFR
1910.1053), shipyards (29 CFR
1915.1053) and construction (29 CFR
1926.1153) contain the following
information collection requirements:
conducting worker exposure
assessments and notifying workers of
the assessment results and any
corrective actions being taken;
establishing, implementing, reviewing,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:23 Mar 20, 2023
Jkt 259001
evaluating, and updating a written
exposure control plan and making the
plan available to workers and
designated representatives; creating and
submitting air quality permit
notifications; establishing a respiratory
protection program; providing
qualitative fit-testing and maintaining
records; providing medical surveillance
to workers; providing the physician or
other licensed health care provider
(PLHCP), or the specialist, with specific
information; ensuring that the PLHCP,
or specialist, explains the results of the
medical examination to the employee
and provides each employee with a
copy of their written medical report;
obtaining a written medical opinion
from the PLHCP, or specialist, and
ensuring that each employee receives a
copy of the opinion; and making and
maintaining air monitoring data,
objective data, and medical surveillance
records; and providing workers and
designated representatives with access
to these records. The records are used
by workers, employers, and OSHA to
determine the effectiveness of the
employer’s compliance efforts.
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, 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 that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Respirable Crystalline Silica Standards
for General Industry, Maritime and
Construction. The agency is requesting
an adjustment decrease of 4,672,138
burden hours (from 12,468,266 to
7,796,128). The requested adjustment
decrease is associated with the agency
now zeroing out the burden hours of
initial exposure assessments and the
initial medical examinations for existing
employees; and employers completing
their written exposure assessment and
respirator programs. In addition, the
burden for rule familiarization and other
PO 00000

one-time costs incurred within the first
year was removed. Also, the agency is
requesting an adjustment decrease of
$132,079,926 for operation and
maintenance costs (from $393,789,550
to $261,709,624) to adjust for
substantially decreased estimates of
initial exposure assessments and initial
medical examinations.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance process 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 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 that OSHA
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
information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).
The Respirable Crystalline Silica Standards for general industry
(29 CFR 1910.1053), shipyards (29 CFR 1915.1053) and construction (29
CFR 1926.1153) contain the following information collection
requirements: conducting worker exposure assessments and notifying
workers of the assessment results and any corrective actions being
taken; establishing, implementing, reviewing, evaluating, and updating
a written exposure control plan and making the plan available to
workers and designated representatives; creating and submitting air
quality permit notifications; establishing a respiratory protection
program; providing qualitative fit-testing and maintaining records;
providing medical surveillance to workers; providing the physician or
other licensed health care provider (PLHCP), or the specialist, with
specific information; ensuring that the PLHCP, or specialist, explains
the results of the medical examination to the employee and provides
each employee with a copy of their written medical report; obtaining a
written medical opinion from the PLHCP, or specialist, and ensuring
that each employee receives a copy of the opinion; and making and
maintaining air monitoring data, objective data, and medical
surveillance records; and providing workers and designated
representatives with access to these records. The records are used by
workers, employers, and OSHA to determine the effectiveness of the
employer's compliance efforts.
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,
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 that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Respirable Crystalline Silica
Standards for General Industry, Maritime and Construction. The agency
is requesting an adjustment decrease of 4,672,138 burden hours (from
12,468,266 to 7,796,128). The requested adjustment decrease is
associated with the agency now zeroing out the burden hours of initial
exposure assessments and the initial medical examinations for existing
employees; and employers completing their written exposure assessment
and respirator programs. In addition, the burden for rule
familiarization and other one-time costs incurred within the first year
was removed. Also, the agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of
$132,079,926 for operation and maintenance costs (from $393,789,550 to
$261,709,624) to adjust for substantially decreased estimates of
initial exposure assessments and initial medical examinations.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
