SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of 

the 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, the 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 minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small 

businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of effort in obtaining 

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

The following sections describe who 

uses the information collected under 

each requirement, as well as how they 

use it. 

The HAZWOPER standard specifies a 

number of collections 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 

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 to protect workers, 

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 

the approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Standard on Hazardous Wastes 

Operations and Emergency Response 

(HAZWOPER). The agency is requesting 

an adjustment decrease of 9,293 burden 

hours (from 260,295 hours to 251,002 

hours). This decrease is due to a slight 

decline in the number of emergency 

response organizations from 29,727 to 

27,186, a decrease of 2,541 

organizations. 

OSHA 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. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Hazardous Wastes Operations 

and Emergency Response. 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0202. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit organizations, 

Federal Government; State, Local, or 

Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 27,186. 

Number of Responses: 1,399,634. 

Frequency of: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Varies. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

251,002. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $3,769,483.
