The Office of Management and Budget

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, including the

validity of the methodology and

assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

Description: The Occupational Safety

and Health Administration is proposing

a change to the language of the existing

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

standard, 29 CFR 1910.132. This action

is intended to clarify the Agency’s

In order to ensure the Agency has

sufficient information on this matter,

the Agency is planning on conducting a

short survey of employers to inquire

about their use of PPE and who pays for

it currently. Some data from the survey

will also be used to support the assigned

protection factor portion of its

respiratory protection rulemaking (29

CFR 1910.134), as well as its fall

protection rulemaking (Subpart M).
