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).
    OSHA is requesting approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for certain information collection requirements contained 
in the Temporary Labor Camps Standard (29 CFR 1910.142). The main 
purpose of these provisions is to eliminate the incidence of 
communicable disease among temporary labor camp residents. The Standard 
requires camp superintendents to report immediately to the local health 
officer the name and address of any individual in the camp known to 
have, or suspected of having, a communicable disease (29 CFR 
1910.142)(l)(1). Whenever there is a case of suspected food poisoning 
or an unusual prevalence of any illness in which fever, diarrhea, sore 
throat, vomiting or jaundice is a prominent symptom, the standard 
requires the camp superintendent to report that immediately to the 
health authority (29 CFR 1910.142)(l)(2). In addition, the Standard 
requires that where the toilet rooms are shared, separate toilet rooms 
must be provided for each sex. These rooms must be marked ``for men'' 
and ``for women'' by signs printed in English and in the native 
language of the persons occupying the camp, or marked with easily 
understood pictures or symbols (29 CFR 1910.142(d)(4)).

[[Page 23823]]

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 Temporary Labor Camps Standard 
(29 CFR 1910.142). OSHA is proposing to increase its existing burden 
hour estimate from 54 hours to 155 hours, for a total increase of 101 
hours. Based on new data from the National Agricultural Statistics 
Service, the number of migrant workers has increased from 109,760 to 
270,000 workers. Additionally, based upon this new data, the number of 
``incidents of notifiable diseases'' has increased from 673 cases to 
1,933 cases.
    The Agency will summarize any comments submitted in response to 
this notice and will include this summary in its request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Temporary Labor Camps (29 CFR 1910.142).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0096.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 1,933.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Total Number of Responses: 270,000.
    Average Time per Response: Time per response is 5 minutes (.08 
hour) to report each incident to local public health authorities.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 155 hours.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
