Confined Spaces in Construction; Approval of Collections of Information, 53268 [2016-18965]

Download as PDF 53268 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 156 / Friday, August 12, 2016 / Rules and Regulations we know that funds are more likely to close the gates on redemptions when market dislocation happens. That is just the time when futures commission merchants (FCMs) and customers would need access to their money, and a multi-day delay can mean catastrophe for some businesses. For that very reason, I have concerns about the Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight’s (DSIO) ‘‘No-Action Relief With Respect to CFTC Regulation 1.25 Regarding Money Market Funds.’’ While the 4(c) exemption and the DCR interpretation are clearly customer protection initiatives, the DSIO no action letter is not. This no action letter would allow FCMs to keep money in segregated customer accounts that actually would not be readily available in a crisis. Thus, while it may appear that an FCM had considerable funds available to settle customer accounts during a market dislocation, in fact that would be only be an illusion; a portion of those funds could be locked down behind the prime money market funds’ gates and therefore not actually be available when needed. I do not think that the staff of the Commission should be supporting this kind of ‘‘window dressing’’—giving the impression of greater security than there actually is. If the funds are not suitable investments for customer funds, then they are not suitable for the additional capital that the FCMs put in those accounts to protect against potential shortfalls. Having lived through bankruptcies, such as MF Global and Peregrine, I have a healthy respect for the importance of having strong clearing members with a large cushion of funds that can be accessed when needed. This no action letter undermines that effort. Given the importance of this topic to the general public, we should at least have asked for comments or even held a roundtable before making this change. I therefore hope to reexamine this subject in the near future.

[Docket No. OSHA-2007-0026]
RIN 1218-AB47


Confined Spaces in Construction; Approval of Collections of 
Information

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 
Department of Labor.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule is a technical amendment revising OSHA's regulations 
to reflect the approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of 
the collections of information contained in OSHA's standard for 
Confined Spaces in Construction.

DATES: Effective August 12, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Todd Owen, OSHA, Directorate of 
Standards and Guidance, Room N-3609, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693-
2222.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA published a final rule for Confined 
Spaces in Construction on May 4, 2015 (80 FR 25365) to provide new 
protections to employees working in confined spaces in construction. 
This new subpart replaced OSHA's general training requirement for work 
in confined spaces (29 CFR 1926.21(b)(6)) with a comprehensive 
standard. The new standard includes a permit program designed to 
protect employees from exposure to many hazards associated with work in 
confined spaces, including atmospheric and physical hazards. Those 
requirements contained collections of information approved by OMB under 
control number 1218-0258, which OSHA publicized in the Federal Register 
document announcing the new rule (see 80 FR 22514-22517). This 
technical amendment codifies the OMB control number for the Confined 
Spaces in Construction standard into Sec.  1926.5, which is the central 
section in which OSHA displays its approved collections under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act.
    Additional opportunity for public comment on this rule is 
unnecessary because the public has already had the opportunity to 
comment on the collections of information and OMB has approved them. 
This revision of Sec.  1926.5 is a purely technical step to increase 
public awareness of OMB's approval of the collections of information.
