FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Todd Owen, Directorate of Standards 

and Guidance, OSHA, Room N–3609, 

U.S. Department of Labor, 200 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, 

DC 20210; telephone (202) 693–2222. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

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–95) (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, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

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 information collection 

requirements in the Hazard 

Communication Standard (‘‘the 

Standard’’) ensure that the hazards of 

chemicals produced or imported are 

evaluated, and that information 

concerning these hazards is transmitted 

to downstream employers and their 

employees. The Standard requires 

chemical manufacturers and importers 

to evaluate chemicals they produce or 

import to determine if they are 

hazardous; for those chemicals 

determined to be hazardous, they must 

develop material safety data sheets and 

warning labels. Employers are required 

to establish hazard communication 

programs to transmit information on the 

hazards of chemicals to their employees 

by means of labels on containers, 

material safety data sheets, and training 

programs. 

Implementation of these collection of 

information requirements will ensure 

that employees understand the hazards 

and identities of the chemicals to which 

they are exposed, thereby reducing the 

incidence of chemically-related 

occupational illnesses and injuries. 

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, 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 proposes to extend the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval of the collection of information 

(paperwork) requirements necessitated 

by the Hazard Communication Standard 

(29 CFR 1910.1200; 1915.1200; 1917.28; 

1918.90; 1926.59; and 1928.21). The 

Agency is requesting a 3 million hour 

increase adjustment, mainly as a result 

of increasing the estimated number of 

affected nonmanufacturing 

establishments. 

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 the collection of information 

requirements contained in the Standard. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved information 

collection requirements. 

Title: Hazard Communication 

Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200; 1915.1200;

1928.21).
