SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the 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 collection of
information requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) (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 (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
incidents (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires OSHA to 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 said
information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).
    The collection of information specified in the Noise Standard (29
CFR

1910.95) protects workers from suffering material hearing impairment.
The collection of information contained in the Noise Standard includes
conducting noise monitoring; notifying workers when they are exposed at
or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels (dBa);
providing workers with initial and annual audiograms; notifying workers
of a loss in hearing based on comparing audiograms; maintaining records
of workplace noise exposure and workers' audiograms; and allowing
workers 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 an adjustment increase of burden hours
associated with the collection of information in the Standard from
2,184,591 to 2,240,636 (a total increase of 56,045 hours). The agency
is also requesting an adjustment increase in the cost under Item 13
from $31,242,929 to $34,812,006 (a total increase of $3,569,077). The
agency estimates that there are 215,624 establishments and 3,684,785
employees exposed to 85 dBA affected by the Standard. OSHA estimates
that the number of establishments from the previous ICR decreased by
0.2%, while the estimated number of employees from the previous ICR
increased by 2.5%. These estimated decreases and increases are based on
updated County Business Pattern data for manufacturing.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Occupational Exposure to Noise Standard (29 CFR 1910.95).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0048.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 215,624.
    Total Responses: 22,630,728.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Various.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2,240,636.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $34,812,006.

 BILLING CODE 4510-26-P


MEMORANDUM Eastern Research Group, Inc. 110 Hartwell Avenue Lexington, MA 02421 Date: July 29, 2003 To: James Covington, EPA From: Cal Franz, ERG Re: MPP Industry Cost Effectiveness Analysis for Subcategories E through I, J, and L ERG projected economic impacts on the Meat and Poultry Products ( MPP) industry based on costs received from Tetra Tech on June 27, 2003 and loads received from Tetra Tech on July 3, 2003. The attached tables show the results of these analyses. All results are presented by subcategory.

Aggregating Facilities, Compliance Costs, And Pollutant Loads ERG received estimated compliance costs and loads from Tetra Tech for 17 screener survey and 2 detailed survey facilities. Because the analysis required mixing detailed survey and screener survey data, ERG aggregated the two detailed facilities and three screener survey facilities into two   dummy  facilities. For computational convenience, the remaining 14 screener survey facilities were aggregated into six dummy facilities. This aggregation only occurred when identical model facilities were assigned to screener survey facilities with identical production processes and size, hence no information was lost in the aggregation.

In order to perform the screener survey aggregation, ERG:

C assigned each facility to a North American Industrial Classification System ( NAICS) code based on production processes:   red meat further processors were assigned to NAICS 311612: Meat Processed from Carcasses   poultry further processors were assigned to NAICS 311615: Poultry Processing   renderers were assigned to NAICS 311613: Rendering and Meat Byproduct Processing   mixed meat further processors were assigned to NAICS 311612: Meat Processed from Carcasses C estimated screener facility revenues by multiplying facility production ( data provided by Tetra Tech) and market model baseline prices;

C assigned a model facility from the appropriate NAICS code to each screener facility by matching estimated screener survey facility revenues with model facility revenues C aggregated all screener facilities with identical model facilities, process classes, and production levels ( e. g., small or nonsmall) into a single   dummy  facility with a weight equal to the sum of the component screener survey weights.

1 The two detailed survey facilities were aggregated with three screener survey facilities following an identical process, with one exception. Because screener survey and detailed survey weights are not additive, a dummy facility composed of both screener and detailed facilities has a weight equal to the sum of the screener facilities  weights.

Estimated compliance costs for the dummy facilities were calculated as a weighted average of the constituent screener survey facility costs. For the dummy facilities composed of both detailed and screener survey facilities, compliance costs were calculated as a simple average of both types of facility costs ( as directed by Jade Freeman in her e mail of July 14, 2003). Total costs are thus equal to each dummy facility s costs multiplied by its facility weight, and summed over all facilities.

Pollutant loads were aggregated for the dummy facilities in an identical manner. Estimated loads for the dummy facilities were calculated as a weighted average of the constituent screener survey facility loads. For the dummy facilities composed of both detailed and screener survey facilities, loads were calculated as a simple average of both types of facility loads. Total loads are equal to each dummy facility s loads multiplied by the its facility weight, and summed over all facilities.

Other Methodological Issues C A 6.6 percent discount rate was used in the cost annualization and closure models; this is a weighted average of the discount rate data provided in the detailed surveys.

C ERG assumed dummy facilities would receive no tax shield from the increased compliance costs; pre and post tax costs are identical.

C Eight ( weighted) mixed meat processors that produce at least 85 percent red meat by weight were assigned to subcategory E through I. An additional eight ( weighted) mixed meat processors produce approximately 30 percent to 50 percent red meat; for the purpose of this analysis, these were not assigned to a subcategory.

C an option for a subcategory is considered   dominated  if, in total, facilities:   incur costs but have zero removals,   incur costs that are higher than the previous option, but have lower removals, or   incur costs that are higher than the previous option, but have no additional removals.

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).
    Section 7(c)(1) of the Act authorizes the Secretary of Labor to,
``with the consent of any State or political subdivision thereof,
accept and use the services, facilities, and personnel of any agency of
such State or subdivision with reimbursement.'' Section 21(c) of the
Act authorizes the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to, ``consult with
and advise employers and employees * * * as to effective means of
preventing occupational illnesses and injuries.''
    Additionally, Section 21(d) of the Act instructs the Secretary to
``establish and support cooperative agreements with the States under
which employers subject to the Act may consult with State personnel
with respect to the application of occupational safety and health
requirements under the Act or under State plans approved under section
18 of the Act.'' This gives the Secretary authority to enter into
agreements with the States to provide Onsite Consultation services, and
establish rules under which employers may qualify for an inspection
exemption. To satisfy the intent of these and other sections of the
Act, OSHA codified the terms that govern cooperative agreements between
OSHA and State governments whereby State agencies provide onsite
consultation services to private employers to assist them in complying
with the requirements of the OSH Act. The terms were codified as the
Consultation Agreement regulations (29 CFR part 1908).

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 Consultation Agreement
regulations (29 CFR part 1908). The Agency is requesting an adjustment
decrease of its current burden hour estimate associated with this ICR
from 231,207 hours to 222,924 hours, a total decrease of 8,283 hours.
These changes are based upon the current number of active projects and
the most recently available number of visits conducted on an annual
basis.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collections.
    Title: Onsite Consultation Agreements.
    OMB Number: 1218-0110.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 26,800.
    Average Time per Response: Annually; monthly, quarterly, semi-
annually, on occasion.
    Total Responses: 111,620.
    Frequency: Varies from 3 minutes (.05 hour) to replace the safe
practice manual to 1 hour to develop a new manual.
    Estimated Total urden Hours: 222,924.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
