SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 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 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 following section identifies and
describes the information collection
requirements contained in the Rigging
Equipment in Construction Standard
(i.e., ‘‘the Standard’’). The purpose of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:51 Jun 21, 2007
Jkt 211001
each of these requirements is to prevent
employees from using defective or
deteriorated equipment, thereby
reducing their risk of death or serious
injury caused by equipment failure
during material handling.
• Alloy Steel Chains, Paragraph (b)
Paragraph (b)(1) requires that alloy
steel chains have permanently affixed
durable identification tags stating size,
grade, rated capacity and sling
manufacturer. Paragraph (b)(6)(i)
requires the employer to make a
thorough periodic inspection of alloy
steel chain slings in use on a regular
basis, but at least once a year. Paragraph
(b)(6)(ii) requires the employer to make
and maintain a record of the most recent
month in which each alloy steel chain
was inspected and make the record
available for examination.
• End Attachments, Paragraph (c)
Paragraph (c)(15)(ii) requires that all
welded end attachments of wire rope
slings be proof-tested by the
manufacturer at twice their rated
capacity prior to initial use, and that the
employer retain a certificate of the proof
test and make it available for
examination.
• Synthetic Webbing (Nylon, Polyester,
and Polypropylene), Paragraph (e)
Paragraphs (e)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii)
require that synthetic web slings be
marked or coded to show the
manufacturer’s name or trademark, the
rated capacity for the type of hitch and
the type of synthetic webbing material.
• Shackles and Hooks, Paragraph (f)
Paragraph (f)(2) requires that all hooks
for which no applicable manufacturer’s
recommendations are available be tested
twice before they are put into use. The
employer shall maintain a record of the
dates and results of the tests.
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.

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 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 following section identifies and describes the information
collection requirements contained in the Rigging Equipment in
Construction Standard (i.e., ``the Standard''). The purpose of each of
these requirements is to prevent employees from using defective or
deteriorated equipment, thereby reducing their risk of death or serious
injury caused by equipment failure during material handling.
Alloy Steel Chains, Paragraph (b)
Paragraph (b)(1) requires that alloy steel chains have permanently
affixed durable identification tags stating size, grade, rated capacity
and sling manufacturer. Paragraph (b)(6)(i) requires the employer to
make a thorough periodic inspection of alloy steel chain slings in use
on a regular basis, but at least once a year. Paragraph (b)(6)(ii)
requires the employer to make and maintain a record of the most recent
month in which each alloy steel chain was inspected and make the record
available for examination.
End Attachments, Paragraph (c)
Paragraph (c)(15)(ii) requires that all welded end attachments of
wire rope slings be proof-tested by the manufacturer at twice their
rated capacity prior to initial use, and that the employer retain a
certificate of the proof test and make it available for examination.
Synthetic Webbing (Nylon, Polyester, and Polypropylene),
Paragraph (e)
Paragraphs (e)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) require that synthetic web
slings be marked or coded to show the manufacturer's name or trademark,
the rated capacity for the type of hitch and the type of synthetic
webbing material.
Shackles and Hooks, Paragraph (f)
Paragraph (f)(2) requires that all hooks for which no applicable
manufacturer's recommendations are available be tested twice before
they are put into use. The employer shall maintain a record of the
dates and results of the tests.
II. Special Issues for Comment
