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 (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 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 efforts in 

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

The information collection 

requirements specified in the Noise 

Standard protect workers from suffering 

material hearing impairment. The 

information collection requirements of 

the Noise Standard include conducting 

noise monitoring; notifying workers 

when they are exposed at or above an 

8-hour time-weighted average of 85 

decibels; providing workers with initial 

and annual audiograms; notifying 

workers of a loss in hearing based on 

comparing audiograms; training workers 

on the effects of noise, hearing 

protectors, and audiometric 

examinations; maintaining records of 

workplace noise exposure and workers’ 

audiograms; and allowing workers, 

OSHA, and NIOSH access to materials 

and records required by the Standard. 

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 

The Agency is requesting a decrease 

in the burden hours from 2,853,730 to 

2,604,597, a total decrease of 249,133 

hours. The reduction is a result of an 

8.3% reduction in the number of 

workers and manufacturing 

establishments. Also, the Agency now 

assumes that 50% of small 

establishment workers will receive 

audiometric exams via mobile testing 

vans. The previous ICR assumed that all 

small establishment workers would go 

off-site to receive their audiometric 

examination. 

OSHA 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 information collection 

requirements contained in the 

Occupational Exposure to Noise 

Standard (29 CFR 1910.95). 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

Standard (29 CFR 1910.95).

Number of Respondents: 254,475. 

Total Responses: 16,458,932. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Estimated Time per Response: Varies 

from 1 minute (.02 hour) for a manager 

to provide a copy to an affected worker’s 

record to 1 hour for a secretary to 

prepare and transfer records. 

Total Burden Hours: 2,604,597. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $82,190,075.
