clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 
104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB approval has been requested by May

Officer for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Office 
of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503 ((202) 395-

    The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in 
comments which:
    <bullet> 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;
    <bullet> 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;
    <bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarify of the 
information to be collected; and
    <bullet> 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.
    Agency: Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
    Title: Collection of Information from Stakeholders, Pre-proposal,

    Description: This collection of information has been sent to 
approximately 200 stakeholders attached to a document summarizing the 
provisions under consideration for OSHA's proposed Safety and Health 
Program Standard. The collection of information basically seeks to 
elicit individual stakeholders general comments on whether the document 
and OSHA's performance to date are reasonable and responsive to 
stakeholder's concerns and more specific comments on scope and 
recordkeeping provisions. The purpose of the collection of information 
is to make OSHA better informed regarding its performance in the pre-
proposal stage of this rulemaking and regarding remaining major 
concerns of stakeholders, in order for OSHA to set an appropriate 
agenda for upcoming stakeholder meetings.
