SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 3145) 

requires contractors and subcontractors 

performing work on Federally financed 

or assisted construction contracts to 

‘‘furnish weekly a statement with 

respect to the wages paid each employee 

during the preceding week.’’

Regulations 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii) requires 

contractors weekly to submit a copy of 

all payrolls to the Federal agency 

contracting for or financing the 

construction project. A signed 

‘‘Statement of Compliance’’ indicating 

the payrolls are correct and complete 

and that each laborer or mechanic has 

been paid not less than the proper 

Davis-Bacon Act (DBA) prevailing wage 

rate for the work performed must 

accompany the payroll. Regulations 29 

CFR 3.3(b) requires each contractor to 

furnish such weekly ‘‘Statements of 

Compliance’’. Regulations 29 CFR 

5.5(a)(3)(i) requires the Social Security 

Number of each employee on such 

payrolls. Regulations 29 CFR 3.4 and 

5.5(a)(3)(i) require contractors to 

maintain these records for three years 

after completion of the work. 

Contractors and subcontractors must 

certify their payrolls by attesting that 

persons performing work on DavisBacon and Related Acts (DBRA) covered 

contracts have received the proper 

payment of wages and fringe benefits. 

Contracting officials and Wage and Hour 

Division staff use these certified 

payrolls to verify that contractors pay 

the required rates and as an aid in 

determining whether the contractors 

have properly classified the workers for 

the work they perform. The DOL has 

developed the optional use Form WH–

347, Payroll Form, which contractors 

may use to meet the payroll reporting 

requirements. The form contains the 

basic payroll information that 

contractors must furnish each week they 

perform any work subject to the DBRA. 

This information collection is currently 

approved for use through March 31, 

2006. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor 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 of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

The Department of Labor seeks the 

approval of the extension of this 

information collection to carry out its 

responsibility to determine a 

contractor’s compliance with provisions 

of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts and 

the Copeland Act.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Todd Owen, Directorate of Standards

200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20210, telephone: (202)

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 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 13 Carcinogens Standard covers 

the following carcinogens: 4- 

Nitrobiphenyl (§ 1910.1003), alphaNaphthylamine (§ 1910.1004), Methyl 

chloromethyl ether (§ 1910.1006), 3,3′- 

Dichlorobenzidine (and its salts) 

(§ 1910.1007), bis-Chloromethyl ether 

(§ 1910.1008), beta-Naphthylamine 

(§ 1910.1009), Benzidine (§ 1910.1010), 

4-Aminodiphenyl (§ 1910.1011), 

Ethyleneimine (§ 1910.1012), betaPropiolactone (§ 1910.1013), 2- 

Acetylaminofluorene (§ 1910.1014), 4- 

Dimethylaminoazobenzene 

(§ 1910.1015), and NNitrosodimethylamine (§ 1910.1016). 

For purposes of this ICR, reference to 29 

CFR 1910.1003 also incorporates the 13 

Carcinogens Standard for Shipyards (29 

CFR 1915.1003–.1016) and Construction 

(29 CFR 1926.1103–1116), whose 

requirements are identical to those 

contained in § 1910.1003. 

The information collection 

requirements specified in the 13 

Carcinogens Standard protect 

employees from the adverse health 

effects that may result from exposure to 

any of the 13 carcinogens. The major 

information collection requirements of 

the 13 Carcinogens Standard include: 

establishing and implementing 

respiratory protection and medical 

surveillance programs for employees 

assigned to or being considered for 

assignment to regulated areas; 

maintaining complete and accurate 

records of the respiratory protection 

programs and medical surveillance; 

providing employees with records of all 

medical examination results; and 

posting warning signs and information. 

In addition, employers must retain 

employee medical records for specified 

time periods, provide these records to 

OSHA and the National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH) upon request, and transfer 

them to NIOSH under certain 

circumstances. 

In 1998, the Standard’s respiratory 

protection program requirements were 

revised as part of the Respiratory 

Protection rulemaking (63 FR 1286 (1/8/ 

1998)). The information collection 

requirements pertaining to the 

respiratory protection requirements in 

the 13 Carcinogens Standard and the 

burden associated with those 

requirements were included in the 

Respiratory Protection final rule (63 FR 

1152–54) (OMB Control Number 1218–

0099 (2001 and 2004)). Accordingly, 

they are not included in this ICR. 

Also, this ICR does not include 

collection of information requirements 

or burden hours and costs for providing 

operation and incident reports to OSHA. 

OSHA deleted these requirements in the 

Standards Improvement Project—Phase 

II final (70 FR 1112 (1/5/2005)). 

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 information collection 

requirements necessitated by the 13 

Carcinogens Standard. In its extension 

request, OSA also is proposing to 

increase the total burden hours for these 

requirements from 1,634 to 1,657 hours, 

a total increase of 23 hours. The burden 

hour increase results from increasing 

the estimated number of employees who 

will request access to their medical 

records. The Agency will summarize the 

public 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. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved information 

collection requirements. 

Title: 13 Carcinogens Standard. 

OMB Number: 1218–0085. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Government; State, 

Local or Tribal Government; not-forprofit institutions. 

Frequency: On occasion, annually. 

Average Time Per Response: Time per 

response ranges from approximately 5 

minutes (for employers to maintain 

records) to 2 hours for employees to 

receive a medical examination. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,657. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $86,226.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board 

is established under section 242 of the 

Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Pub. 

L. 105–220 (20 U.S.C. 9252). The Board 

consists of ten individuals appointed by 

the President with the advice and 

consent of the Senate. The Board 

advises and makes recommendations to 

the Interagency Group that administers 

the Institute. The Interagency Group is 

composed of the Secretaries of 

Education, Labor, and Health and 

Human Services. The Interagency Group 

considers the Board’s recommendations 

in planning the goals of the Institute and 

in implementing any programs to 

achieve those goals. Specifically, the 

Board performs the following functions: 

(a) Makes recommendations concerning 

the appointment of the Director and the 

staff of the Institute; (b) provides 

independent advice on operation of the 

Institute; and (c) receives reports from 

the Interagency Group and the 

Institute’s Director. 

The National Institute for Literacy 

Advisory Board will meet November 2–
