DOE and DOE contractors will use this information collecton to manage chronic beryllium disease prevention programs, provide information to employees, and facilitate DOE ovesight of the programs.
The number of total annual responses requested for the extension of this collection increased due to a revised estimate of the number of sites included in this program. Originally, when the final rule 10 CFR Part 850, Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program was published, DOE listed 30,876 responses. This was the number based on those who responded to the initial call for the Chronic Beryllium Prevention Program, however since that date several other sites included under this rule have necessitated the implementation of the program as well. Though the number of responses is estimated to increase, the total amount of burden hours is expected to decrease as a result of previous overestimations in time and cost.
