Occupational Exposure to Beryllium

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 
Department of Labor.

ACTION: Final rule; OMB information collection approval.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule is a technical amendment announcing that OMB has 
approved the collection of information contained in OSHA's standards 
for Occupational Exposure to Beryllium and Beryllium Compounds in 
General Industry, and revising OSHA's regulations to reflect that 
approval. The OMB approval number is 1218-0267.

DATES: Effective March 7, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles McCormick, OSHA, Directorate 
of Standards and Guidance, U.S. Department of Labor; telephone (202) 
693-2222.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA published a final rule on January 9, 
2017, amending its existing standards for the Occupational Exposure to 
Beryllium and Beryllium Compounds. OSHA determined that employees 
exposed to beryllium at the previous permissible exposure limits face a 
significant risk of material impairment to their health. The evidence 
in the record for this rulemaking indicates that workers exposed to 
beryllium are at increased risk of developing chronic beryllium disease 
and lung cancer. The final rule establishes new permissible exposure 
limits of 0.2 micrograms of beryllium per cubic meters ([micro]g/m\3\) 
of air as an 8-hour time weighted average and 2.0 [micro]g/m\3\ as a 
short term exposure limit determined over a sampling period of 15 
minutes. It also includes other provisions to protect employees, such 
as requirements for exposure assessment, methods for controlling 
exposure, respiratory protection, personal protective clothing and 
equipment, housekeeping, medical surveillance, hazard communication, 
and recordkeeping.
    OSHA issued three separate standards (one for general industry, one 
for shipyards, and one for construction) in order to tailor 
requirements to the circumstances found in these sectors. The effective 
date of those standards was March 10, 2017.
    Consistent with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), the Federal Register notice for the Occupational Exposure to 
Beryllium and Beryllium Compounds final rule states that employers do 
not have to comply with the collection of information until OMB 
approves those collections of information, and the Department of Labor 
publishes a notice in the Federal Register announcing this approval and 
the control number assigned by OMB to the final rule's collection of 
information. Under 5 CFR 1320.5(b), an agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless: (1) The collection of 
information displays a current, valid OMB control number, and (2) The 
Agency informs members of the public who are required to respond to the 
collection of information that they are not required to do so unless 
the agency displays a currently valid OMB control number for the 
collection of information.
    The revision of these standards is a technical amendment to 
increase public awareness of OMB's approval of the collection of 
information. The Agency notes that the public has already had the 
opportunity to comment on the collections of information, and OMB has 
approved them. Opportunity for public comment on this final rule is 
therefore unnecessary.
    The final Occupational Exposure to Beryllium and Beryllium 
Compounds standards impose new collections of information for the 
purposes of the PRA. The collections of information in the rule are 
needed to assist employers in identifying and controlling exposure to 
beryllium and beryllium compounds in the workplace, and to address 
adverse health effects related to beryllium. OSHA will also use records 
developed in response to these standards to determine compliance with 
OSHA standards.
