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 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 accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with a minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining said information (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 said illness immediately to the health authority (29 CFR 1910.142)(l)(2). In addition, the Standard requires separate toilet rooms to be provided for each sex where the toilet rooms are shared. 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)). 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). The Agency is requesting an adjustment in the number of burden hours from 155 hours to 258 hours. There was an increase in the number of ``incidents of notifiable diseases'' from 1,933 cases to 2,349. 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: 2,349. 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: 258 hours. Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0. IV. Public Participation--Submission of Comments on This Notice and Internet Access to Comments and Submissions You may submit comments in response to this document as follows: (1) Electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, which is the Federal eRulemaking Portal; (2) by facsimile (fax); or (3) by hard copy.

You may supplement electronic submissions by uploading document files electronically.
