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–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 

burden is accurate. The Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of the 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 principal paperwork provisions 

of the EtO Standard require employers 

to notify employees of their EtO 

exposures, implement a written 

compliance program, administer 

medical examinations, provide 

examining physicians with specific 

information, ensure that employees 

receive a copy of their medical 

examination results, maintain 

employees’ exposure-monitoring and 

medical records for specific periods, 

and provide access to these records by 

OSHA, the National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health, the 

affected employees, and their 

authorized representatives. 

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. 

OSHA is proposing to decrease the 

existing burden hour estimate and to 

extend OMB’s approval of the collection 

of information requirements contained 

in the EtO Standard. The Agency is 

requesting a decrease in burden hours 

for the collection of information 

contained in the EtO Standard from 

43,972 hours to 42,732 hours. This 

1,240-hour decrease mainly results from 

decrease in the number of hospitals 

(which are major EtO consumers). 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: Ethylene Oxide Standard (29 

CFR 1910.1047). 

OMB Number: 1218–0108. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 5,474. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Total Responses: 209,256. 

Average Time per Response: Time per 

response ranges from 5 minutes (.08 

hour) to provide information to the 

examining physician to 2 hours for 

employees to receive medical 

examinations. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

42,732. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $6,595,597.
