SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
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 accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 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 Standard specifies several
paperwork requirements. The following
sections describe who uses the
information collected under each
requirement, as well as how they use it.
The purpose of each of these
requirements is to prevent employees
from using unsafe cranes and ropes,
thereby reducing their risk of death or
serious injury caused by a crane or rope
failure during material handling.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:51 Apr 20, 2010
Jkt 220001
(A) Inspection of and Certification
Records of Cranes (§ 1910.180(d)(4) and
(d)(6))
Paragraph 1910.180(d) specifies that
employers must prepare a written
record to certify that the monthly
inspection of critical items in use on
cranes (such as brakes, crane hooks, and
ropes) has been performed. The
certification record must include the
inspection date, the signature of the
person who conducted the inspection,
and the serial number (or other
identifier) of the inspected crane.
Employers must keep the certificate
readily available. The certification
record provides employers, employees,
and OSHA compliance officers with
assurance that critical items on cranes
have been inspected, and that the
equipment is in good operating
condition so that the crane and rope
will not fail during material handling.
These records also enable OSHA to
determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard.
(B) Rated Load Tests (§ 1910.180(e)(2))
This provision requires employers to
make available written reports of loadrating tests showing test procedures and
confirming the adequacy of repairs or
alterations, and to make readily
available any rerating test reports. These
reports inform the employer, employees,
and OSHA compliance officers of a
crane’s lifting limitations, and provide
information to crane operators to
prevent them from exceeding these
limits and, thereby causing crane
failure.
(C) Inspection of and Certification
Records for Ropes (§ 1910.180(g)(1) and
(g)(2)(ii))
Paragraph (g)(1) requires employers to
thoroughly inspect any rope in use at
least once a month. The authorized
person conducting the inspection must
observe any deterioration resulting in
appreciable loss of original strength and
determine whether or not the condition
is hazardous. Before reusing a rope that
has not been used for at least a month
because the crane housing the rope is
shut down or in storage, paragraph
(g)(2)(ii) specifies that employers must
have an appointed or authorized person
inspect the rope for all types of
deterioration. Employers must prepare a
certification record for the inspections
required by paragraphs (g)(1) and
(g)(2)(ii). These certification records
must include the inspection date, the
signature of the person conducting the
inspection, and the identifier for the
inspected rope; paragraph (g)(1) states
that employers must keep the
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
certificates ‘‘on file where readily
available,’’ while paragraph (g)(2)(ii)
requires that certificates ‘‘be * * * kept
readily available.’’ The certification
records assure employers, employees,
and OSHA that the inspected ropes are
in good condition.
(D) Disclosure of Crane and Rope
Inspection Certification Records
The disclosure of certification records
provide the most efficient means for
OSHA compliance officers to determine
that an employer is complying with the
Standard.
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
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Crawler Locomotive and
Truck Cranes (29 CFR 1910.180). The
Agency is requesting to retain its current
burden hour total of 174,062 associated
with this Standard. The Agency will
summarize the comments submitted in
response to this notice and will include
this summary in the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Crawler Locomotive and Truck
Cranes (29 CFR 1910.180).

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 accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (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 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 Standard specifies several paperwork requirements. The
following sections describe who uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of each of
these requirements is to prevent employees from using unsafe cranes and
ropes, thereby reducing their risk of death or serious injury caused by
a crane or rope failure during material handling.
(A) Inspection of and Certification Records of Cranes (Sec.
1910.180(d)(4) and (d)(6))
Paragraph 1910.180(d) specifies that employers must prepare a
written record to certify that the monthly inspection of critical items
in use on cranes (such as brakes, crane hooks, and ropes) has been
performed. The certification record must include the inspection date,
the signature of the person who conducted the inspection, and the
serial number (or other identifier) of the inspected crane. Employers
must keep the certificate readily available. The certification record
provides employers, employees, and OSHA compliance officers with
assurance that critical items on cranes have been inspected, and that
the equipment is in good operating condition so that the crane and rope
will not fail during material handling. These records also enable OSHA
to determine that an employer is complying with the Standard.
(B) Rated Load Tests (Sec. 1910.180(e)(2))
This provision requires employers to make available written reports
of load-rating tests showing test procedures and confirming the
adequacy of repairs or alterations, and to make readily available any
rerating test reports. These reports inform the employer, employees,
and OSHA compliance officers of a crane's lifting limitations, and
provide information to crane operators to prevent them from exceeding
these limits and, thereby causing crane failure.
(C) Inspection of and Certification Records for Ropes (Sec.
1910.180(g)(1) and (g)(2)(ii))
Paragraph (g)(1) requires employers to thoroughly inspect any rope
in use at least once a month. The authorized person conducting the
inspection must observe any deterioration resulting in appreciable loss
of original strength and determine whether or not the condition is
hazardous. Before reusing a rope that has not been used for at least a
month because the crane housing the rope is shut down or in storage,
paragraph (g)(2)(ii) specifies that employers must have an appointed or
authorized person inspect the rope for all types of deterioration.
Employers must prepare a certification record for the inspections
required by paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2)(ii). These certification
records must include the inspection date, the signature of the person
conducting the inspection, and the identifier for the inspected rope;
paragraph (g)(1) states that employers must keep the certificates ``on
file where readily available,'' while paragraph (g)(2)(ii) requires
that certificates ``be * * * kept readily available.'' The
certification records assure employers, employees, and OSHA that the
inspected ropes are in good condition.
(D) Disclosure of Crane and Rope Inspection Certification Records
The disclosure of certification records provide the most efficient
means for OSHA compliance officers to determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard.
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;
