spend more or less time relaxing and
socializing?
• How much time do people spend
working at their workplaces and in their
homes?
The ATUS data are collected on an
ongoing basis nearly every day of the
year, allowing analysts to identify
changes in how people spend their time.

II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the
American Time Use Survey (ATUS).
This survey collects information on how
individuals in the United States use
their time. Collection is done on a
continuous basis with the sample drawn
monthly. The survey sample is drawn
from households completing their 8th
month of interviews for the Current
Population Survey (CPS). Households
are selected to ensure a nationallyrepresentative demographic sample, and
one individual from each household is
selected to take part in one Computer
Assisted Telephone Interview.
Interviewers ask respondents to report
all of their activities for one preassigned 24-hour day, the day prior to
the interview. A short series of summary
questions and CPS updates follows the
core time diary collection. After each
full year of collection, annual national
estimates of time use for an average day,
weekday, and weekend day are
published.
Because the ATUS sample is a subset
of households completing interviews for
the CPS, the same demographic
information collected from that survey
is available for ATUS respondents.
Comparisons of activity patterns across
characteristics such as sex, race, age,
and education of the respondent, as well
as the presence of children and the
number of adults living in the
respondent’s household, are possible.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

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 (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
E:\FR\FM\28MRN1.SGM
28MRN1
14170
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 59 / Friday, March 28, 2025 / Notices
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following section describes who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to protect workers from
the adverse health effects that may
result from occupational exposure to
benzene.
The major information collection
requirements in the Standard include
conducting worker exposure
monitoring, notifying workers of the
benzene exposure, implementing a
written compliance program,
implementing medical surveillance for
workers, providing examining
physicians with the specific
information, ensuring that workers
receive a copy of their medical
surveillance records, and providing
access to these records by OSHA, the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health, the worker who is
the subject of the records, the worker’s
representative, and other designated
parties.

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 the
Benzene Standard. The agency is
requesting an adjustment decrease in
burden from 114,598 to 114,146 hours,
a difference of 452 hours. The
adjustment decrease is due to a decrease
in the number of workers exposed above
the action level going from 69,742 to
65,499 workers even though the current
number of establishments increased.
The total number of responses went
from 241,371 to 241,005, a decrease of
366. The capital cost for maintenance
and operation increased from
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
$10,958,889 to $12,067,635, a difference
of $1,108,746.
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: Benzene Standard.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0129.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 12,270.
