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 (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, the 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 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 following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of the Lead in
Construction Standard and its collection
of information (paperwork)
requirements is to reduce occupational
lead exposure in the construction
industry. Lead exposure can result in
both acute and chronic effects and can
be fatal in severe cases of lead toxicity.
Some of the health effects associated
with lead exposure include brain
disorders, which can lead to seizures,
coma, and death; anemia; neurological
problems; high blood pressure; kidney
problems; reproductive problems; and
decreased red blood cell production.
The major collection of information
requirements of the standard are:
conducting worker exposure
assessments; notifying workers of their
lead exposures; establishing,
implementing, and reviewing a written
compliance program annually; labeling
containers of contaminated protective
clothing and equipment; providing
medical surveillance to workers;
providing examining physicians with
specific information; ensuring that
workers receive a copy of their medical
surveillance results; posting warning
signs; establishing and maintaining
exposure monitoring, medical
surveillance, medical removal, and
objective data records; and providing
workers with access to these records.
The records are used by employees,
physicians, employers, and OSHA to
determine the effectiveness of the
employer’s compliance efforts.
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;
• 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
Lead in Construction Standard. The

agency is requesting an adjustment
increase in burden from 1,226,717 to
1,348,499 hours, an increase of 121,782
hours. The adjustment increase is due to
an increase in the total number of
highway and railroad bridge repainting
lead-exposed projects which increased
the of projects needing lead testing.
There was an increase in capital cost of
$4,152,880 going from $82,343,194 to
$86,496,074.
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 collection.
Title: Lead in Construction Standard.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0014.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 175,399.
Number of Responses: 8,905,576.

Average Time per Response: Varies.
