The Department of Energy (DOE) plans to extend an information collection request for three more years, according to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This request is vital for gathering information to reduce beryllium exposure among workers at DOE-managed sites, lower exposure levels, and provide medical monitoring to detect chronic beryllium disease early. Comments on this proposal are due by March 5, 2021, and feedback is invited on the necessity and burden of the information collection. The DOE has outlined specific metrics for this collection, including the number of respondents and associated costs.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval, seeking an extension for the "NSPS for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units." This extension is essential for compliance with air quality standards and involves periodic reporting and recordkeeping by electric utility steam generating unit operators. The EPA expects a decrease in the burden on these operators due to fewer respondents, as there are no new coal-fired boilers being added and some existing units are being phased out. Public comments on this request are invited until February 10, 2021.
