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 (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 effort 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 increase in the number of
burden hours from 54,393 to 56,276 hours (a total increase of 1,883
hours). The increase is a result of the Agency's estimate, based on
updated data, that the number of establishments and workers affected by
the Standard has increased. The increase in the number of medical
exams, and the increase in the cost of medical exams (from $180 to
$196) has resulted in an increase of $539,194 in costs (from $4,733,010
to $5,272,204). Due to lower prices for dosimeters, the total cost for
exposure monitoring declined by $1,503,465 (from $14,648,715 to
$13,145,250), despite the number of employees being monitored with
dosimeters increasing from 51,399 to 52,581.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Methylene Chloride Standard (29 CFR 1910.1052).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0179.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 82,927.
    Frequency of Response: Annually; semi-annually; quarterly; on
occasion.
    Total Responses: 218,652.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from 1 hour for administering a
medical examination to 5 minutes (.08 hour) to maintain a worker's
medical or exposure record.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 56,276.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $18,417,454.
