The Complaint in this case was filed 

against Freeport-McMoRan Corporation

destroyed, or lost as a result of releases 

of hazardous substances at and from the 

mine site. 

Under the settlement, FreeportMcMoRan will pay $6.8 million to the 

United States Department of the 

Interior’s Natural Resource Damage 

Assessment and Restoration Fund, 

which can be used to restore, 

rehabilitate, replace, or acquire the

habitat injured, destroyed, or lost as a 

result of releases at the mine sites. 

Included in this amount is $98,138.70, 

which is designated as reimbursement 

of the Department of the Interior’s

damage assessment costs.

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 (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 HAZWOPER Standard specifies a 

number of collection of information 

(paperwork) requirements. Employers 

can use the information collected under 

the HAZWOPER rule to develop the 

various programs the Standard requires 

and to ensure that their workers are 

trained properly about the safety and 

health hazards associated with 

hazardous waste operations and 

emergency response to hazardous waste 

releases. OSHA will use the records 

developed in response to this Standard 

to determine adequate compliance with 

the Standard’s safety and health 

provisions. The employer’s failure to 

collect and distribute the information 

required in this Standard will affect 

significantly OSHA’s effort to control 

and reduce injuries and fatalities. Such 

failure would also be contrary to the 

direction Congress provided in the 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act (SARA). 

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 

The Agency is requesting an 

adjustment in the burden hours of 1,381 

hours from 1,199,954 to 1,198,573 

hours. The adjustment in burden hours 

is primarily due to a decrease in the 

number of sites covered by the 

Standard. 

The Agency will summarize the 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice and will include this summary in 

the request to OMB to extend the 

approval of the information collection 

requirements contained in the Standard. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Hazardous Waste Operations 

and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 

Standard (29 CFR 1910.120). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0202.
