II. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burdens, conducts a pre-clearance 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-95) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)). OSHA will be requesting approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for certain information collection
requirements contained in the Temporary Labor Camps Standard (29 CFR
1910.142). This notice initiates the process for OSHA to request OMB
approval. The purpose of the Temporary Labor Camps Standards is to
eliminate the incidence of communicable disease among temporary labor
camp residents. The Standard requires camp superintendents to report
immediately to the local health officer (1) the name and address of any
individual in the camp known to have or suspected of having a
communicable disease or suspected food poisoning, or (2) an unusual
prevalence of any illness in which fever, diarrhea, sore throat,
vomiting or jaundice is a prominent symptom.
III. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
[sbull] Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the Agency's functions, including whether
the information will have practical utility;
[sbull] 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, especially the number of temporary
labor camps in the United States; and
[sbull] The quality, utility, and clarity of the information on
those who are to respond, including 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.
IV. Proposed Actions
OSHA proposes to extend OMB's approval of the collection of
information requirements specified in 5 CFR
[[Page 66672]]
1320.8(d). OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this summary in its request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information-collection requirements for the
Temporary Labor Camps Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information-
collection requirement.
Title: Temporary Labor Camps (29 CFR 1910.142).
OMB Number: 1218-0096.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit
institutions; Federal government; State, local or tribal governments.
Number of Respondents: 838.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average time per Response: Five minutes response.
Estimating Total Burden Hours: 67 hours.
