Department of Labor; telephone (202)
693–2222.
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 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 (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 a minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating
small businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of efforts in obtaining said
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Cadmium in Construction
Standard requires initial and periodic
exposure monitoring and
measurements, medical surveillance by
physicians through biological
monitoring and examinations, and
recordkeeping and notification
obligations. These requirements help
protect workers from the adverse health
effects that may result from their
occupational involvement with
Cadmium, and provide access to these
records by OSHA, the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), the affected workers, and
designated representatives. The major
information collection requirements of
this standard include the following
elements of 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 to protect workers,
including whether the information is
useful;
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:10 Apr 11, 2025
Jkt 265001
• 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, and
transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Cadmium in Construction Standard.
The agency is requesting an increase in
the burden hour estimate by 218 hours
(from 50,226 hours to 50,444 hours) due
to a computational error discovered in
the last ICR. OSHA is requesting to
retain the same capital cost for
operation and maintenance of
$2,082,199. OSHA will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice and will include this summary in
the request to OMB to extend the
approval of the information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved data collection.
Title: Cadmium in Construction
Standard.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0186.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Government; State,
Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.

Frequency of Responses: On occasion.

that OSHA obtain such information
with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the

duplication of effort in obtaining

The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to provide protection for
workers from the adverse health effects
associated with exposure to Lead. In
this regard, the Lead in General Industry
Standard requires: monitoring workers’
exposure to lead, medical surveillance
by physicians through biological
monitoring and examinations, and
recordkeeping and notification
obligations.

$196,201,192).
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Lead in General Industry Standard. The
agency is requesting an adjusted
increase in burden hours, from
1,134,438 hours to 1,250,537 hours, a
difference of 116,099 hours. The
adjustment increase is due to an
increase in the number of employers
(56,906 to 60,569 employers) and an
increase in the number of exposed
workers (346,894 to 366,629 exposed
workers), based on updated data. Also,
due to the increase in the estimated
number of initial exposure monitoring,
initial medical examinations, as well as
increased costs to perform biological
monitoring and medical examinations
under the standard, there is an increase
in total operation and maintenance costs
