The information collection requirements specified in the 4′, 4′Methylenedianiline in Construction Standard (the ‘‘MDA Standard’’) (29 CFR 1926.60) protect employees from the adverse health effects that may result from their exposure to MDA, including cancer, liver and skin disease. The major paperwork requirements specify that employers must perform initial, periodic, and additional exposure monitoring; notify each worker in writing of their results as soon as possible but no longer than 5 days after receiving exposure monitoring results; and routinely inspect the hands, face, and forearms of each worker potentially exposed to MDA for signs of dermal exposure to MDA. Employers must also: establish a written compliance program; institute a respiratory protection program in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 (OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard); and develop a written emergency plan for any construction operation that could have an MDA emergency (i.e., an unexpected and potentially hazardous release of MDA). Employers must label any material or products containing MDA, including containers used to store MDAcontaminated protective clothing and equipment. They also must inform personnel who launder MDAcontaminated clothing of the requirement to prevent release of MDA, and personnel who launder or clean MDA-contaminated protective clothing or equipment must receive information about the potentially harmful effects of MDA. In addition, employers must post warning signs at entrances or access ways to regulated areas, as well as train workers exposed to MDA at the time of their initial assignment, and at least annually thereafter. Other paperwork provisions of the MDA Standard require employers to provide workers with medical examinations, including initial, periodic, emergency and follow-up examinations. As part of the medicalsurveillance program, employers must ensure that the examining physician receives specific written information, and that they obtain from the physician a written opinion regarding the worker’s medical results and exposure limitations.

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, and transmission techniques. III. Proposed Actions OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the information collection requirements contained in the 4, 4′-Methylenedianiline (MDA) in Construction Standard. The agency is requesting an adjustment decrease in the burden hours from 1,012 hour to 954 hours, a difference of 58 hours. This adjustment decrease is due to a decrease in the number of new employees. Also, the agency is requesting a decrease in the capital cost from $152,658 to $150,486. This reduction in cost is due to the decrease in the number of employees receiving medical exams. 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.

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, 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 incidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also 
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon 
employers,

[[Page 9736]]

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 information collection requirements specified in the 4', 4'-
Methylenedianiline in Construction Standard (the ``MDA Standard'') (29 
CFR 1926.60) protect employees from the adverse health effects that may 
result from their exposure to MDA, including cancer, liver and skin 
disease. The major paperwork requirements specify that employers must 
perform initial, periodic, and additional exposure monitoring; notify 
each worker in writing of their results as soon as possible but no 
longer than 5 days after receiving exposure monitoring results; and 
routinely inspect the hands, face, and forearms of each worker 
potentially exposed to MDA for signs of dermal exposure to MDA. 
Employers must also: establish a written compliance program; institute 
a respiratory protection program in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 
(OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard); and develop a written 
emergency plan for any construction operation that could have an MDA 
emergency (i.e., an unexpected and potentially hazardous release of 
MDA).
    Employers must label any material or products containing MDA, 
including containers used to store MDA-contaminated protective clothing 
and equipment. They also must inform personnel who launder MDA-
contaminated clothing of the requirement to prevent release of MDA, and 
personnel who launder or clean MDA-contaminated protective clothing or 
equipment must receive information about the potentially harmful 
effects of MDA. In addition, employers must post warning signs at 
entrances or access ways to regulated areas, as well as train workers 
exposed to MDA at the time of their initial assignment, and at least 
annually thereafter.
    Other paperwork provisions of the MDA Standard require employers to 
provide workers with medical examinations, including initial, periodic, 
emergency and follow-up examinations. As part of the medical-
surveillance program, employers must ensure that the examining 
physician receives specific written information, and that they obtain 
from the physician a written opinion regarding the worker's medical 
results and exposure limitations.
    The MDA Standard also specifies that employers are to establish and 
maintain exposure-monitoring and medical-surveillance records for each 
worker who is subject to these requirements, make any required record 
available to OSHA compliance officers and the National Institute for 
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for examination and copying, and 
provide exposure-monitoring and medical-surveillance records to workers 
and their designated representatives.

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, and 
transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the information 
collection requirements contained in the 4, 4'-Methylenedianiline (MDA) 
in Construction Standard. The agency is requesting an adjustment 
decrease in the burden hours from 1,012 hour to 954 hours, a difference 
of 58 hours. This adjustment decrease is due to a decrease in the 
number of new employees. Also, the agency is requesting a decrease in 
the capital cost from $152,658 to $150,486. This reduction in cost is 
due to the decrease in the number of employees receiving medical exams.
    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 currently approved collection.
