The proposed Occupational Exposure to Beryllium Standard in the Construction Industry requires covered employers to establish written exposure control plan, to conduct medical surveillance, and to establish and maintain accurate records of employee exposure to beryllium and beryllium compounds and medical records. These records will be used by employers, workers, physicians and the Government to ensure that shipyard workers are not being harmed by exposure to beryllium and beryllium compounds.

OSHA is requesting a new ICR for the collections of information in the beryllium standard for the shipyard sector, which are currently approved under OMB control number 1218-0267. This program change request would create a new ICR and therefore a new OMB control number for the shipyard standard on occupational exposure to beryllium. The agency is requesting approval for 6,609 total burden hours and the estimated capital cost of $2,057,856.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
