SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
access to these records by the affected
workers and their authorized
representatives.
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
desired format, 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 (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 standard protects workers from
the adverse health effects from
occupational exposure to formaldehyde,
including an itchy, runny, and stuffy
nose; a dry or sore throat; eye irritation;
headaches; and cancer of the lung,
buccal cavity (mouth), and pharynx
(throat). Formaldehyde solutions can
damage the skin and burn the eyes.
The standard specifies a number of
collections of information. The
following is a brief description of the
collections of information contained in
the Formaldehyde Standard. The
standard requires employers to conduct
worker exposure monitoring to
determine workers’ exposure to
formaldehyde, notify workers of their
formaldehyde exposures, provide
medical surveillance to workers,
provide examining physicians with
specific information, ensure that
workers receive a copy of their medical
examination results, maintain workers’
exposure monitoring and medical
records for specific periods, and provide
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.
