SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Occupational Safety and Health

Act of 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 basic purpose of the informationcollection requirements in the Lead in

General Industry Standard (the

‘‘Standard’’) is to document that

employers in general industry are

providing their employees with

protection from over exposure to lead.

These paperwork requirements permit

employers, employees and their

designated representatives, OSHA, and

other specified parties to determine the

effectiveness of an employer’s leadcontrol program. Accordingly, the

requirements ensure that employees

exposed to lead receive all of the

protection afforded by the Standard.

OSHA proposes to extend the Office

of Management and Budget’s (OMB)

approval of the collection-ofinformation (paperwork) requirements

contained in the Standard. 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.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

The Agency has a particular interest

in comments on the following issues:

• Whether the information-collection

requirements are necessary for the

proper performance of the Agency’s

functions, including whether the

information is useful;

• The accuracy of the Agency’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. Current Action

OSHA solicits comment concerning

its request for an extension of the

information-collection requirements

contained in its Lead in General

Industry Standard at 29 CFR 1910.1025.

Type of Review: Extension of

currently approved informationcollection requirements.

Title: Lead in General Industry (29

CFR 1910.1025).

OMB Number: 1218–0092.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Federal, State,

Local, or Tribal governments.

Number of Respondents: 233.

Frequency: On occasion.

Average Time per Response: Varies

from 5 minutes to maintain records to

1.5 hours for employee training or

medical evaluation.

Estimated Total Burden Hours:

35,523.

Estimated Cost (Operation and

Maintenance): $1,625,143.

of Labor for Occupational Safety and

Health, directed the preparation of this
