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 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 purpose of these requirements is to protect workers from the health effects associated with occupational exposure to cadmium. Such exposure to cadmium may cause lung cancer, prostate cancer, nonmalignant respiratory disease, acute pneumonitis, fever and chest pain, severe weakness, coughing and tightness of the chest, and kidney disease. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 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; VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:38 Jan 08, 2024 Jkt 262001 • 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 Cadmium in General Industries (29 CFR 1910.1027). The agency is requesting an adjustment increase of 42,230 (from 73,396 to 115,626 hours). This increase is a result of a computational error discovered in the last ICR. Additionally, OSHA is requesting a decrease in the operation and maintenance costs of $10,114 (from $5,493,656 to $5,483,542). This decrease is a result of a computational error discovered in the last ICR.

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 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 purpose of 
these requirements is to protect workers from the health effects 
associated with occupational exposure to cadmium. Such exposure to 
cadmium may cause lung cancer, prostate cancer, non-malignant 
respiratory disease, acute pneumonitis, fever and chest pain, severe 
weakness, coughing and tightness of the chest, and kidney disease.

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 Cadmium in General 
Industries (29 CFR 1910.1027). The agency is requesting an adjustment 
increase of 42,230 (from 73,396 to 115,626 hours). This increase is a 
result of a computational error discovered in the last ICR. 
Additionally, OSHA is requesting a decrease in the operation and 
maintenance costs of $10,114 (from $5,493,656 to $5,483,542). This 
decrease is a result of a computational error discovered in the last 
ICR.
    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.
