# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    The Formaldehyde Standard and its collections of information are designed to provide protection for workers from the adverse health effects associated with occupational exposure to formaldehyde. The Standard requires employers to monitor worker exposure and provide notification to workers of their exposure. Employers are required to make available medical surveillance to workers. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on June 28, 2023 (88 FR 41984).                

                    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of                           ( print page 67369)                        law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid OMB Control Number.                     *See*5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.                

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
