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 process 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, the 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 (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 (see 29 

U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires 

OSHA to obtain such information with 

a minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small 

businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of effort in obtaining said 

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

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. 

The Asbestos in Construction 

Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101) protects 

workers from adverse health effects 

arising from workplace exposure to 

asbestos, including lung cancer, 

mesothelioma, asbestosis (an 

emphysema-like condition) and 

gastrointestinal cancer. The standard 

requires employers to monitor worker 

exposure, provide medical surveillance, 

and maintain accurate records of worker 

exposure to asbestos. These records will 

be used by employers, workers, and the 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2018 / Notices 27801 

Government to ensure that workers are 

not harmed by exposure to asbestos in 

the workplace. 

The Agency is requesting a burden 

hour adjustment decrease of 115,504 

(from 3,881,183 hours to 3,765,679). 

Using updated data, and the fact that 

much of the remediation of asbestos 

products has likely taken place, the 

Agency estimates a decrease in 

employment from 1,338,403 to 

1,301,735 workers. Also, the number of 

employers has decreased from 1,046,897 

to 1,018,215. 

III. Proposed Actions

currently approved collection. 

Title: Asbestos in Construction 

Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0134.
