(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 

44 U.S.C. chapter 35). A copy of this 

ICR, with applicable supporting 

documentation, may be obtained by

(DOL). To obtain documentation,

Comments should be sent to Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10235, 

Washington, DC 20503, 202–395–7316 

(this is not a toll-free number), within 

30 days from the date of this publication 

in the Federal Register. 

The OMB 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 submission of 

responses. 

Agency: Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Title: 1,2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane 

Standard (29 CFR 1910.1044). 

OMB Number: 1218–0101. 

Frequency: On occasion; Quarterly; 

Semi-annually; and Annually. 

Type of Response: Recordkeeping and 

Third party disclosure. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Federal Government; and State, 

Local, or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 1. 

Number of Annual Responses: 1. 

Total Burden Hours: 1. 

Total Annualized capital/startup 

costs: $0. 

Total Annual Costs (operating/ 

maintaining systems or purchasing 

services): $0. 

Description: The information 

collection requirements specified in the 

1,2–Dibromo-3–Chloropropane (DBCP) 

Standard protect employees from the 

adverse health effects that may result 

from their exposure to DBCP. The 

Standard requires employers to: Monitor 

employees’ exposure to 1,2–Dibromo-3–

Chloropropane; monitor employee 

health; and medical records; and 

provide employees with information 

about their exposures and health effects 

of exposure to DBCP. 

After extensive research, OSHA found 

no U.S. employer who currently 

produces DBCP or DBCP-based end-use 

products; therefore, no cost or time 

burdens accrue to employers under the 

Standard. The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) registered DBCP as a soil 

fumigant for controlling nematodes 

during growth of field crops, vegetables, 

fruits and nuts, greenhouse and nursery 

crops, and turf. In 1977, the EPA 

suspended all registration of DBCPbased end-use products, except 

fumigants for Hawaiian pineapples; EPA 

revoked this exception in 1985.
