burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection

    Frequency: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Federal Government; 
State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 97.
    Estimated Time Per respondent: Time per response ranges from 
approximately 5 minutes (for employers to maintain records) to 5 hours 
(for employers to develop emergency/incident reports).
    Total Burden Hours: 2,798.
    Total Annualized capital/startup costs: $0.

    Description: The 13 Carcinogens Standard requires employers to 
develop signs and labels to warn employees about the hazards associated 
with the 13 carcinogens. Also, employers must notify OSHA Area 
Directors of new regulated areas, changes to regulated areas, and 
incidents that occur in regulated areas. Employers must establish and 
implement a medical surveillance program for employees assigned to 
enter regulated areas. This program must inform employees of their 
medical examination results and provide them with access to their 
medical records. In addition, employers must retain employee medical 
records for specified time periods and provide these records to the 
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health under certain 
circumstances.
