ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is
announcing that the collection of information requirements in its

Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This document announces the OMB approval number and the expiration
date.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 5, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Adrian Corsey, OSHA Office of Regulatory Analysis, Room N-3627, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210;
telephone: (202) 219-4916, extension 144.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 8, 1998, OSHA published a final
rule for Respiratory Protection in the Federal Register (63 FR 1152).
That rule, which revised OSHA's previous rules for respiratory
protection, went into effect on April 8, 1998. Compliance with the
provisions requiring collection of information was required by October
5, 1998. However, OSHA informed the public that compliance with those
provisions would not be required until OSHA obtained OMB approval and
informed the public of the approval number. The January 8, 1998,
Federal Register notice listed all of the collection of information
requirements in the revised rule, along with OSHA's estimated burden
hours (63 FR 1153-1154). As required by 5 CFR 1320, OSHA provided a 60-
day period for the public to comment on the new or revised collection
of information requirements. At the close of the comment period, OSHA
submitted a request to OMB seeking approval of the information
collection requirements. OMB approved the information collection
requirements on June 5, 1998 under OMB Approval Number 1218-0099. This
approval expires on June 30, 2001.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 28th day of September, 1998.
Charles N. Jeffress,
Assistant Secretary of Labor.
