693–2222. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 (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 correct. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the Act) authorizes information 

collection by employers as necessary or 

appropriate for enforcement of the Act 

or for developing information regarding 

the causes and prevention of 

occupational injuries, illnesses, and 

accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The information collection 

requirements specified in he 4,4′- 

Methylenedianiline Standard for 

Construction (the ‘‘MDA Standard’’) 

protect employees from the adverse 

health effects that may result from their 

exposure to MDA, including cancer, and 

liver and skin disease. The major 

paperwork requirements specify that 

employers must perform initial, 

periodic, and additional exposure 

monitoring; notify each employee in 

writing of their results as soon as 

possible, but no longer than 5 days after 

receiving exposure-monitoring results; 

and routinely inspect the hands, face, 

and forearms of each employee 

potentially exposed to MDA for signs of 

dermal exposure to MDA. Employers 

must also: Establish a written 

compliance program; institute a 

respiratory protection program in 

accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 

(OSHA’s Respiratory Protection 

Standard); and develop a written 

emergency plan for any construction 

operation that could have an emergency 

(i.e., an unexpected and potentially 

hazardous release of MDA). 

Employers are to label any material or 

products containing MDA, including 

containers used to store MDAcontaminated protective clothing and 

equipment. They also must inform 

personnel who launder MDAcontaminated clothing of the 

requirement to prevent release of MDA, 

while personnel who launder or clean 

MDA-contaminated protective clothing 

or equipment must receive information 

about the potentially harmful effects of 

MDA. In addition, employers are to post 

warning signs at entrances or access 

ways to regulated areas, as well as train 

employees who may be exposed to MDA 

both at the time of their initial 

assignment and at least annually 

thereafter. 

Other paperwork provisions of the 

MDA Standard require employers to 

provide employees with medical 

examinations, including initial, 

periodic, emergency, and follow-up 

examinations. As part of the medical 

surveillance program, employers must 

ensure that the examining physician 

receives specific written information, 

and that they obtain from the physician 

a written opinion regarding the 

employee’s medical results and 

exposure limitations. 

The MDA Standard also specifies that 

employers are to establish and maintain 

exposure-monitoring and medical 

surveillance records for each employee 

who is subject to these respective 

requirements, make any required record 

available to OSHA compliance officers 

and the National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH) for examination and copying, 

and provide exposure-monitoring and 

medical surveillance records to 

employees and their designated 

representatives. Finally, employers who 

cease to do business within the period 

specified for retaining exposuremonitoring and medical surveillance 

records, and who have no successor 

employer, must notify NIOSH at least 90 

days before disposing of the records and 

transmit the records to NIOSH if so 

requested. 

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 to protect 

employees, 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 proposes to extend the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval of the collection of information 

requirements specified by the Standard 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 16, 2006 / Notices 47255 

on 4,4′-Methylenedianiline in 

Construction (29 CFR 1926.60), and to 

decrease the total burden hour estimates 

by two hours. The Agency will 

summarize the comments submitted in 

response to this notice, and will include 

this summary in its request to OMB to 

extend the approval of these 

information collection requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently-approved information 

collection requirement. 

Title: 4,4′-Methylenedianiline 

Standard for Construction (29 CFR 

1926.60). 

OMB Number: 1218–0183. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; Federal 

Government; State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments. 

Number of Respondents: 66. 

Frequency of Recordkeeping: On 

occasion; quarterly; semi-annually; 

annually. 

Average Time per Response: Varies 

from five minutes (.08 hour) to provide 

information to the physician to 2 hours 

for initial monitoring. 

Total Annual Hours Requested: 1,607. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $80,412.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary 

The purpose of the 2006 Tether 

Challenge is to develop very strong 

tether material for use in various 

structural applications. The competition 

requires a 50% improvement in 

breaking force from year to year, starting 

with a commercially available tether in 

2005. Additional requirements (such as 

operating temperature range, vacuum 

compatibility, and controlled electrical 

conductivity) will be added in future 

years. 

I. Challenge Basis and Prize Amount 

The complete 2006 Tether Challenge 

purse is $250,000. The 2006 Tether 

Challenge will be conducted in two 

rounds. The first round will pit tethers 

from two teams directly against each 

other to determine the team with the 

strongest tether. The second round will 

determine if the first-round winner is at 

least 50% stronger than a house tether 

that represents off-the-shelf materials. If 

it is, that team will win the competition. 

II. Eligibility 

The Centennial Challenges Program 

has established the following language 

in the Challenge Team Agreements 

governing eligibility. For this section, 

Challenge is the 2006 Tether Challenge. 

Team is defined as an individual, 

organization or corporation, or a group 

of individuals, organizations or 

corporations that register to participate 

in Challenge. Team is comprised of a 

Team Leader and Team Members. 

Team Leader is defined as a single 

individual, organization, or corporation, 

which is the sole agent representing 

Team regarding its participation in 

Challenge. Team Leaders that are 

individuals must be U.S. citizens. Team 

Leaders that are organizations or 

corporations must be incorporated in 

the U.S. and majority-owned and 

controlled by U.S. citizens. Corporate or 

other organizational Team Leaders must 

appoint an individual who is an officer 

of the Corporation or organization to 

represent the Team Leader. 

Team Members are defined as the 

participants on the Team that are not 

the Team Leader. If a Team consists of 

a single individual, then in this case the 

Team Member is also the Team Leader. 

Individuals and corporate entities that 

are other than U.S. citizens or entities 

may be Team Members, subject to 

written request to and approval by 

Spaceward. All Team Members will 

apply to register for the Challenge 

through Team Leader and must receive 

written concurrence by Spaceward. 

All Team Members must execute an 

‘‘Adoption of Agreement’’ committing to 

all terms of this Agreement. By signing 

below, Team Leader represents that all 

Team Members have executed the 

Adoption of Agreement and that no one 

else will become a member of the Team 

or participate in the Challenge until 

such new Team Member has signed this 

Agreement. Spaceward may disqualify 

any Team if it discovers that a person 

is acting as a Team Member who has not 

signed this Agreement. Team Leader 

will provide Spaceward with a copy of 

the ‘‘Adoption of Agreement’’ signed by 

each team member. 

Any U.S. Government organization or 

organization principally or substantially 

funded by the Federal Government, 

including Federally Funded Research 

and Development Centers, Governmentowned, contractor operated (GOCO) 

facilities, and University Affiliated 

Research Centers, are ineligible to be a 

Team Leader or Team Member. U.S. 

Government employees may not 

participate in the Challenge as Team 

Leader or Team Member.
