Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On September 28, 2016, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States
District Court for the District of
Columbia in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. Anthony Spanos, Inc., et al.,
Civil Action No. 1:14-cv-01625–RJL.
The United States filed this lawsuit
under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(‘‘CERCLA’’). The United States’
complaint names Anthony Spanos, Inc.,
George A. Spanos, in his capacity as the
trustee of the George A. Spanos Living
Trust, and Gus Dinos as defendants. The
United States’ complaint seeks recovery
of costs incurred and to be incurred by
the Environmental Protection Agency in
connection with the removal of
hazardous substances at the Georgia
Avenue PCE Site, located in Northwest
Washington, DC. The consent decree
resolves the United States’ claims
against George A. Spanos and does not
resolve the United States’ claims against
Anthony Spanos, Inc. and Gus Dinos.
George A. Spanos agrees to pay
$125,000 of the United States’ response
costs and to perform the operation and
maintenance of sub-slab
depressurization systems at the Site. In
return, the United States agrees not to
sue George A. Spanos under sections
106 and 107 of CERCLA.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
consent decree. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accord with the
E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM
04OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 192 / Tuesday, October 4, 2016 / Notices
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Cranes and Derricks standard’s
information collection requirements
impose a duty on employers to produce
and maintain records that implement
controls and take other measures to
protect workers from hazards related to
cranes and derricks used in
construction. Accordingly, construction
businesses with workers who operate or
work in the vicinity of cranes and
derricks must have, as applicable, the
following documents on file and
available at the job site: Equipment
ratings, employee training records,
written authorizations from qualified
individuals, and program qualification
audits. During an inspection, OSHA will
have access to the records to determine
compliance under conditions specified
by the standard. An employer’s failure
to generate and disclose the information
required in this standard will affect
significantly the Agency’s effort to
control and reduce injuries and fatalities
related to the use of cranes and derricks
in construction.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 36 burden hours
(from 386,066 to 386,030 burden hours).
The decrease in burden hours is due to
errors in calculations. There is also an
adjustment increase in operation and
maintenance costs of $103,775 from
$2,183,970 to 2,287,745. The increase is
mainly due to an increase in hourly
wage rates.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in its
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements contained in the Cranes
and Derricks Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Cranes and Derricks in
Construction (29 CFR part 1926, subpart
CC).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0261.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 209,851.
Total Responses: 2,737,482.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 30 seconds (communicate
employee’s location to operator) to 1.5
hours (develop and document written
assembly and disassembly procedures).
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
386,030 hours.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $2,287,745.
