This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection unless OMB,
under the PRA, approves it and the
collection tool displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments regarding this ICR to
the contact shown in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments must be written to
receive consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. To
help ensure appropriate consideration,
comments should mention OMB control
number 1205–0310.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology
(e.g., permitting electronic submission
of responses).

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).

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 88 / Monday, May 6, 2024 / Notices
The Ionizing Radiation Standard
specifies a number of collection of
information requirements. The basic
purpose of the collections of
information in the Ionizing Radiation
Standard is to document that employers
are providing their workers with
protection from ionizing radiation
exposure. The collections of information
contained in the Standard include:
monitoring worker exposure to ionizing
radiation, posting caution signs at
radiation areas, reporting worker
overexposure to OSHA, maintaining
exposure records, and providing
exposure records to current and former
workers.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0103.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 25,631.
Number of Responses: 395,705.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
70,556.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $11,461,149.
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, and
transmission techniques.
You may submit comments in
response to this document as follows:
(1) electronically at https://
www.regulations.gov, which is the
Federal eRulemaking Portal; or (2) by
facsimile (fax), if your comments,
including attachments, are not longer
than 10 pages you may fax them to the
OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693–1648.
All comments, attachments, and other
material must identify the agency name
and the OSHA docket number for the
ICR (OSHA–2010–0030). You may
supplement electronic submission by
uploading document files electronically.
Comments and submissions are
posted without change at https://
www.regulations.gov. Therefore, OSHA
cautions commenters about submitting
personal information such as social
security numbers and dates of birth.
Although all submissions are listed in
the https://www.regulations.gov index,
some information (e.g., copyrighted
material) is not publicly available to
read or download from this website. All
submissions, including copyrighted
material, are available for inspection

for information about materials not
available from the website, and for
assistance in using the internet to locate
docket submissions.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Ionizing Radiation Standard. The
agency is requesting an adjustment
increase of 11,479 burden hours from
59,077 to 70,556 hours. This increase is
primarily due to increasing the
percentage of affected establishments
that may be using ionizing radiation in
each industry identified as using
ionizing radiation. Also, the agency is
requesting an adjustment increase in
capital cost from $8,892,917 to
$11,461,149, a total increase of
$2,568,232. The increase is due to
increases in both the estimated number
employees being monitored and the
costs for exposure monitoring badges.
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 collection of information
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
