Reinstated beryllium data collection helps workers
The Department of Energy is reinstating and extending for three years the Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program (OMB Control No. 1910-5112) to keep collecting worker health information. The collection is used to reduce beryllium exposure, provide information to employees, and support medical surveillance for early detection of disease.
Reporting burden: 29,794 hours and $2.25M yearly
DOE estimates the reinstated collection will involve 6,471 respondents (27 DOE sites and 6,444 workers), 14,359 total responses, 29,794 burden hours annually, and an annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden of $2,248,023.52. Those sites and workers will bear the time and paperwork costs of the collection while it is extended.
