Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden,

conducts a preclearance consultation

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies with an

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) [U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)]. This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Currently the

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration is soliciting comments

concerning the proposed extension of

the information collection request for

the Ethylene Oxide Standard 29 CFR

1910.1047. A copy of the proposed

information collection request (ICR) can

be obtained by contacting the employee

listed below in the addressee section of

this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section below on or before

April 29, 1997. The Department of Labor

is particularly interested in comments

which:

* Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

* Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

* Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

* Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.

ADDRESSES: Comments are to be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Ethylene Oxide Standard and its

information collection is designed to

provide protection for employees from

the adverse health effects associated
9212 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 40 / Friday, February 28, 1997 / Notices

with occupational exposure to ethylene

oxide.

The Standard requires employers to

monitor employee exposure to ethylene

oxide (EtO) and provide notification to

employees of their exposure to ethylene

oxide. If monitoring indicates exposure

above the 8-hour time weight average of

one part EtO per million parts of air, or

in excess of five parts of EtO per million

part of air as average over sampling

period of 15 minutes, then the employer

is required to develop a compliance

plan to reduce the exposures above

these levels. Employers are required to

make available medical exams to

employees who are or may be exposed

to EtO at or above the action level (.5

parts per million calculated as an eight

hour time-weight average), without

regard to the use of respirators, for at

least 30 days a year. Exposure

monitoring and medical records are to

be retained for prescribed amounts of

time, and under certain circumstances

such records may be transferred to the

National Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health. Employers are also

required to communicate the hazards

associated with exposure to EtO through

signs, labels, material safety data sheets

and training.

II. Current Actions

This notice requests an extension of

the current OMB approval of the

paperwork requirements in the Ethylene

Oxide Standard. Extension is necessary

to provide continued protection to

employees from the health effects

asociated with occupational exposure to

ethylene oxide.

Type of Review: Extension.

Agency: Occupational Safety and

Health Administration.

Title: Ethylene Oxide.

OMB Number: 1218–0108.

Agency Number: Docket Number ICR–

97–4.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, Federal government and State,

Local or Tribal governments.

Total Respondents: 52,546.

Frequency: On occasion.

Total Responses: 166,566.

Average Time per Response: Time per

response ranges from five minutes to

maintain records to two hours for

employee medical exams.

Estimated Total Burden Hours:

50,300.

Estimated Capital, Operation/

Maintenance Burden Cost: The total cost

for employers to conduct exposure

monitoring, to provide medical exams,

and when necessary transfer records to

the National Institute of Occupational

Safety and Health is $1,500,593.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and

included in the request for Office of

Management and Budget approval of the

information collection request; they will

also become a matter of public record.
