Description: The Occupational Safety

and Health Act of 1970 (the Act)

authorizes the promulgation of such

health and safety standards as are

necessary or appropriate to provide safe

or healthful employment and places of

employment. The statute specifically

authorizes information collected by

employers as necessary or appropriate
41868 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 150 /Wednesday, August 5, 1998 / Notices

for the enforcement of the Act or for

developing information regarding the

causes and prevention of occupational

injuries, illnesses, and accidents.

In 219 CFR 1910.132, Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE), employers

are required to perform a hazard

assessment of the workplace and to

certify that it has been performed. They

are also required to certify that their

employees have received, and

understood PPE training.

OSHA inspectors will require

employers to provide them with access

to information during Agency

inspections. The documents, which can

be written or computer generated, are

needed to verify that employers are in

compliance with the standard.

Additionally, the documents may be

used as a ‘‘grandfather’’ mechanism.

That is, an employer can verify that an

existing hazard assessment and/or

training program already meets the

standards. This will eliminate the need

for the employer to reassess the

workplace or retrain employees.

Departmental Clearance Officer.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Changes to the General Records

Schedules; Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration, Office of Records

Services—Washington, D.C.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: NARA is required by 44

U.S.C. 3303a(a) to provide an

opportunity for public comment on

proposed records schedules that will

authorize the destruction of Federal

records. This notice contains the full

text of proposed changes to the General

Records Schedules which are issued by

NARA to provide mandatory disposal

authorities for temporary administrative

records common to several or all

Federal agencies (44 U.S.C. 3303a(d)).

NARA is departing from its normal

practice of publishing notice of

availability of records schedules in this

instance in order to accelerate the

review process and maximize the

exposure of the proposed changes. This

notice also includes the rationale for the

proposed changes, equivalent to the

appraisal report. Consequently, this

notice provides all available information

for interested parties who may wish to

comment.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before September 4, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent

electronically to the e-mail address

<records.mgt@arch2.nara.gov>. If

attachments are sent, please transmit

them in ASCII, WordPerfect 5.1/5.2, or

MS Word 6.0. Comments may also be

submitted by mail to the Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,

College Park, MD 20740–6001, or by

FAX to 301–713–6852 (attn: Marc

Wolfe). In order for comments to be

considered, the NARA registration

number for this schedule—N1–GRS–98–

2—must be included in a subject line or

otherwise prominently stated.

Records Programs (NWM), National

E-mail: <records.mgt@arch2.nara.gov>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year

Federal agencies create billions of

records on paper, film, magnetic tape,

and other media. To control this

accumulation, agency records managers

prepare schedules proposing retention

periods for records and submit these

schedules for NARA approval, using the

Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for

Records Disposition Authority. These

schedules provide for the timely transfer

into the National Archives of

historically valuable records and

authorize the disposal of all other

records after the agency no longer needs

the records to conduct its business. No

Federal records are authorized for

destruction without the approval of the

Archivist of the United States. Two

mechanisms are used to provide that

approval—agency schedules and

General Records Schedules. Agencies

develop and submit to NARA for

approval schedules for the records that

are unique to the agency. Once

approved by the Archivist, the agencies

may apply the approved disposition

authorities to the records for as long as

they remain unchanged. To reduce the

effort required of agencies in scheduling

all their records, the National Archives

and Records Administration issues
