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 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 Standard protects workers from 

the adverse health effects that may 

result from their exposure to methylene 

chloride (MC). The requirements in the 

Standard include worker exposure 

monitoring, notifying workers of their 

MC exposures, administering medical 

examinations to workers, providing 

examining physicians with specific 

program and worker information, 

ensuring that workers receive a copy of 

their medical examination results, 

maintaining workers’ exposure 

monitoring and medical examination 

records for specific periods, and 

providing access to these records by 

OSHA, the National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health, the 

affected workers, and their authorized 

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 

The Agency is requesting an 

adjustment decrease in the number of 

burden hours from 63,560 to 54,481 

hours (a total decrease of 9,079 hours). 

The reduction is a result the Agency’s 

estimate, based on updated data, that 

the number of establishments and 

workers affected by the Standard has 

decreased. Also, part of the decrease in 

burden hours is related to the 

determination that the training 

provision of the Standard, although still 

in effect, is not considered to be a 

collection of information. The estimated 

operation and maintenance cost 

increased from $19,214,570 to 

$19,381,635 due to the increase in the 

cost of medical exams and exposure 

monitoring associated with the 

Standard. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.
