and additional monitoring; notifying 

each worker of their exposure 

monitoring results either in writing or 

by posting; implementing a written 

compliance program; and establishing a 

respiratory protection program in accord 

with OSHA’s Respiratory Protection 

Standard (29 CFR 1910.134). 

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 is requesting to increase its 

current burden hours from 20,558 to 

22,381 hours, a total increase of 1,823 

hours. Although the cost of exposure 

monitoring sampling increased slightly 

from $19 to $20, there was a $14,976 

increase in the overall cost of sampling 

(from $79,344 to $94,320). Further, 

although the cost of a medical exam 

increased from $175 to $187, there was 

a $976,550 increase in the overall cost 

of medical exams (from $2,369,850 to 

$2,848,384), as a result of the increase 

in the number of medical exams. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

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 accord 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 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 

Acrylonitrile (AN) Standard protect 

workers from the adverse health effects 

that may result from their exposure to 

AN. The major information collection 

requirements of the AN Standard 

include notifying workers of their AN 

exposures, implementing a written 

compliance program, providing 

examining physicians with specific 

information, ensuring that workers 

receive a copy of their medical 

examination results, maintaining 

workers exposure monitoring and 

medical records for specific periods, 

and providing access to these records by 

OSHA, the National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health, the 

affected workers, and designated 

representatives. 

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 is requesting that OMB extend 

its approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Acrylonitrile Standard (29 CFR 

1910.1045). 

OSHA is requesting an adjustment 

decrease in the burden hour total from 

2,299 to 1,999 hours, a total decrease of 

300 hours as a result of the decreased 

number of affected establishments based 

on updated data. There was a slight 

adjustment of the number of exposure 

monitoring samples from 864 to 814., 

but the number of medical exams 

slightly decreased from 630 to 594, 

which resulted in a slight cost decrease. 

The adjustment of the burden hours and 

costs are shown in detail by provision 

in the supporting statement. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Acrylonitrile Standard (29 CFR 

part 1910.1045). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0126. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 16. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Total Responses: 4,516. 

Average Time per Response: Varies 

from five minutes (.08 hour) to obtain a 

physician’s certificate to 12 hours to 

develop a compliance program. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,999. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $144,628.
