Abstract:
The purpose of this standard and its information collection requirements are to provide protection for workers from the adverse effects associated with occupational exposure to the carcinogen, lead. Employers must monitor exposure to lead, provide medical surveillance, train employers about the hazards of lead, and establish and maintain accurate records of worker exposure to lead. These records are used by employers, workers, physicians, and the Government to ensure that workers are not being harmed by exposure to lead.

Short Statement:
The Agency is requesting a 119,856 hour adjustment decrease, from 1,225,253 hours to 1,105,397 hours. The decrease is primarily due to the estimated reduction in the number of facilities (from 61,405 to 56,947) and exposed workers (from 871,894 to 804,507), based on updated data. Additionally, due to the reduction in the number of facilities and exposed workers as stated above, there is a decrease in total operation and maintenance costs of $374,615 (from $143,566,299 to $143,191,684), although the cost to perform exposure monitoring has increased from $25 to $27, to perform biological medical surveillance has increased from $65.40 to $70.86, and to perform medical examinations increased from $223 to $242. Upon further analysis, the requirement that employers provide training to workers is not considered to be a collection of information. In addition, the requirements that employers make copies of the Standard and appendices readily available to affected workers and distribute to workers training and information program materials made available to the employer by OSHA are not considered to be collections of information. Therefore, OSHA removed the burden hours and costs associated with these requirements.
