FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Theda Kenney or Todd Owen, Directorate of Standards and Guidance, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-3609, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693- 2222. 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 collection of information 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 collection of information requirements specified in the Cadmium in Construction Standard protect workers from the adverse health effects that may result from their exposure to cadmium. The major collection of information requirements of the Standard include: Conducting worker exposure monitoring, notifying workers of their cadmium exposures, implementing a written compliance program, implementing medical surveillance of workers, providing examining physicians with specific information, ensuring that workers receive a copy of their medical surveillance results, maintaining workers' exposure monitoring and medical surveillance records for specific periods, and providing access to these records by the worker who is the subject of the records, the worker's representative, and other designated parties. II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:Whether the proposed collection of information 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 collection of information 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 The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 3,511 burden hours (from 37,231 to 33,720 burden hours) to account for the determination, upon further consideration, that neither training delivery nor collection of records during OSHA inspections constitute collections of information under the PRA-95. While OSHA believes exposures likely have decreased, without specific updated data, OSHA has retained the existing estimates regarding the number of construction sites, employers and employees covered by the Standard. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Title: Cadmium in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.1127). OMB Control Number: 1218-0186. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits. Number of Respondents: 10,000. Frequency of Response: On occasion; Quarterly; Semi-annually; Annually. Total Responses: 258,249. Average Time per Response: Varies from five minutes (.08 hour) for an employer to notify a worker of exposure monitoring results to 1.5 hours to administer worker medical examinations. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 33,720. Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $2,082,199. IV.
