SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA-95) (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 (the 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 efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection requirements specified in the 13
Carcinogens Standard protect workers from the adverse health effects
that may result from their exposure to the 13 carcinogens. The
following is a brief description of the collection of information
requirements contained in the 13 Carcinogens Standard: establishing and
implementing a medical surveillance program for workers assigned to
enter regulated areas; informing workers of their medical examination
results; and providing workers with access to their medical records.
Further, employers must retain worker medical records for specified
time periods and make them available upon request to OSHA and NIOSH.

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
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the 13 Carcinogens Standard (29
CFR 1910.1003). The Agency is requesting an increase of 21 burden hours
to 1,493 hours. The increase is a result of the increased number of
establishments affected by the standard from 95 to 97. The Agency will
summarize any comments submitted in response to this notice and will
include this summary in the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Title: 13 Carcinogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1003).
OMB Number: 1218-0085.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 97.
Frequency of Response: On occasion; annually.
Total Responses: 2,195.
Average Time per Response: Time per response ranges from
approximately 5 minutes (for employers to allow employee access to
records) to 2 hours (for worker medical surveillance).
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,493.
Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $106,720.
