Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 84 / Monday, May 2, 2022 / Notices 25675 

the health effects of exposure to coke 

oven emissions. 

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 to protect workers, 

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. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting an adjustment 

decrease in the existing burden hour 

estimate for the collection of 

information requirements in the 

Standard. In this regard, the Agency is 

requesting to decrease the current 

burden hour estimate from 51,644 to 

40,845 hours, a total adjustment of 

10,799 hours. The Agency believes that 

the NAICS code used is an 

overestimation and is updating the 

strategy used for this determination. 

Also, there is a cost increase in the cost 

under Item 13 from $1,079,664 to 

$1,234,455 (an increase of $154,791). 

This cost adjustment was the result of 

an increase in the cost of a medical 

examination. 

OSHA will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Coke Oven Emissions Standards 

(29CFR 1910.1029). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0128. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 3,984. 

Number of Responses: 38,225. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Varies 

from five minutes to obtain a 

physician’s certificate to 12 hours to 

develop a compliance program. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

40,845. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $1,234,455.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of 

the continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent (i.e., 

employer) burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program 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) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, 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 (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 (29 

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

that OSHA obtain such information 

with minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small 

businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of effort in obtaining 

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

The following sections describe who 

uses the information collected under 

each requirement, as well as how they 

use it. The purpose of these 

requirements is to reduce employees’ 

risk of death or serious injury by 

ensuring that employment has been 

tested and is in safe operating condition. 

The information collection 

requirements specified in the 4′,4′- 

Methylenedianiline Standard for 

Construction (the ‘‘MDA Standard’’) (29 

CFR 1926.60) protect employees from 

the adverse health effects that may 

result from their exposure to MDA, 

including cancer, liver and skin disease. 

The major paperwork requirements 

specify that employers must perform 

initial, periodic, and additional 

exposure monitoring; notify each 

worker in writing of their results as soon 

as possible but no longer than 5 days 

after receiving exposure monitoring 

results; and routinely inspect the hands, 

face, and forearms of each worker 

potentially exposed to MDA for signs of 

dermal exposure to MDA. Employers 

must also: establish a written 

compliance program; institute a 

respiratory protection program in 

accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 

(OSHA’s Respiratory Protection 

Standard); and develop a written 

emergency plan for any construction 

operation that could have an MDA 

emergency (i.e., an unexpected and 

potentially hazardous release of MDA). 

Employers must label any material or 

products containing MDA, including 

containers used to store MDAcontaminated protective clothing and 

equipment. They also must inform 

personnel who launder MDAcontaminated clothing of the 

requirement to prevent release of MDA, 

and personnel who launder or clean 

MDA-contaminated protective clothing 

or equipment must receive information 

about the potentially harmful effects of 

MDA. In addition, employers must post 

warning signs at entrances or access 

ways to regulated areas, as well as train 

workers exposed to MDA at the time of 

their initial assignment, and at least 

annually thereafter. 

Other paperwork provisions of the 

MDA Standard require employers to 

provide workers with medical 

examinations, including initial, 

periodic, emergency and follow-up 

examinations. As part of the medicalsurveillance program, employers must 

ensure that the examining physician 

receives specific written information, 

and that they obtain from the physician 

a written opinion regarding the worker’s 

medical results and exposure 

limitations. 

The MDA Standard also specifies that 

employers are to establish and maintain 

exposure-monitoring and medicalsurveillance records for each worker 

who is subject to these requirements, 

make any required record available to 

OSHA compliance officers and the 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH) for 

examination and copying, and provide 

exposure-monitoring and medicalsurveillance records to workers and 

their designated representatives. 

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 to protect workers, 

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. 

III. Proposed Actions 

The agency is requesting an 

adjustment increase of 20 hours, from 

986 to 1,006 hours and a cost increase 

of $68,724 to $146,718. There are two 

main reasons for this adjustment. First, 

the agency has updated the data sources 

used to estimate the number of 

respondents, burden, and cost (such as 

the loaded hourly wage rates, turnover 

rate and unit cost for laboratory analysis 

and medical exams). Second, this ICR 

renewal switches from using rounded 

decimal estimates of unit burden to 

unrounded fractions (for instance, from 

0.08 to 5/60 for an item with five 

minutes of burden). 

OSHA will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

Construction Standard (CFR 1926.60).
