Summary
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is asking for public feedback on their plan to collect info from groups that train hazardous waste workers. This helps make sure the training programs are effective and safe. If you’re involved in hazardous waste training, your input matters before the review deadline on March 18, 2026, and there’s no new cost for participants.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Awardees Must Submit Detailed Training Data
Nonprofit organizations that receive Hazardous Waste Worker Training grants must enter detailed information about their training (nature, duration, purpose, trainee selection, staff qualifications, curriculum, budget, and response to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120) into the WTP Awardee Data Management System. The collection estimates 25 respondents with 2 responses per respondent, 16 hours per response, and a total annualized burden of 800 hours; there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
Grants Require Annual Reapplication
Hazardous Waste Worker Training grant awards are generally made for one year, and awardees must submit a separate application each year to continue receiving funding. OMB approval for the information collection is being requested for three years, and the collection lists an expiration date of 07/31/2025.
