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 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, 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 (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 (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 (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements are to help employers
monitor worker exposure to asbestos,
take action to reduce worker exposure to
the permissible exposure limit (PEL),
monitor worker health, and provide
workers with information about their
exposure and the health effects of
asbestos.
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
Standard on Asbestos in Shipyards. The
agency is requesting a 70 hour decrease
adjustment in the burden hours (from
1,108 hours to 1,038). This decrease is
due to a decrease in the number of
shipyard employees in the preceding
paperwork package. OSHA is also
requesting a decrease in the total annual
cost burden for the exposure monitoring
and medical examinations. The
estimated burden decreased by $9,939
(from $44,578 to $34,639). This decrease
is due to a decrease in the number of
shipyard employees found in the
preceding package.
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.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Asbestos in Shipyards Standard
(29 CFR 1915.1001).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0195.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Government; State,

Number of Respondents: 255.
Number of Responses: 3,597.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,038.
Estimated Cost (Operation and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
NASA hosts/sponsors numerous
events on federally owned/leased
property which are open to NASA
affiliates and members of the public.
The events include but are not limited
to meetings, conferences, briefings,
public outreach activities, tours, focus
groups, etc. Visitor access is
substantiated by a credentialed NASA
sponsor who validates the visitor’s need
to access a building/area, guest
networking services, etc. for a specific
event/purpose. Information is collected
to validate identity and enable
intermittent access to activities.
Currently, visitor registration is
accomplished via several electronic and
paper processes. The NASA Office of
Protective Services is transitioning to a
one-NASA process to manage access for
visitors with an affiliation less than 30days.
NASA may collect event registration
information to include but not limited
to a visitor’s name, address, citizenship,
biometric data, purpose of visit, the
location to be visited, escort/sponsor
name with contact data, and preferred
meeting/event sessions when options
are available. When parking is provided
on federal owned/leased space, driver’s
license information as well as vehicle
make/model/tag information will be
collected.
When visitors/vendors are permitted
to bring equipment and/or event set-up
materials such as booths and displays,
information will be collected to issue
property passes and coordinate
equipment/property delivery.
Information will also be collected, when
applicable, to include other associated
requirements such as electrical power
needs, internet access, etc.
NASA collects, stores, and secures
information from individuals requiring
routine and intermittent access in a
manner consistent with the Constitution
and applicable laws, including the
Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
