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
E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM
14FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 31 / Thursday, February 14, 2008 / Notices
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 following provisions of 29 CFR
part 1926, subpart R (the ‘‘Subpart’’)
contain paperwork requirements:
§§ 1926.752(a)(1) and (a)(2);
1926.753(c)(5) and (e)(2); 1926.757(a)(7),
(a)(9), and (e)(4)(i); 1926.758(g);
1926.760(e) and (e)(1); 1926.761; and
paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of appendix G. These
provisions ensure that:
Designated parties, especially steel
erectors, receive notice that building
materials, components, steel structures,
and fall protection equipment are safe
for specific uses; and employees
exposed to fall hazards receive the
required training in the recognition and
control of fall hazards. These paperwork
requirements provide a direct and
efficient means for controlling
contractors and steel erectors to inform
others (e.g., employees) of steel erection
hazards and their control, thereby
preventing death and serious injury by
ensuring that structural steel members
remain stable and that employees use
fall protection correctly.

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;
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:49 Feb 13, 2008
Jkt 214001
• 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
The Agency is requesting that OMB
extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in 29
CFR part 1926, subpart R (‘‘Steel
Erection’’). The Agency is proposing to
retain its existing burden hour estimate
of 30,339 hours for the collection of
information requirements specified by
the subpart.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: 29 CFR part 1926, subpart R
(‘‘Steel Erection’’).
OMB Number: 1218–0241.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 20,781.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time Per Response: Varies
from one minute (.02 hour) for a
controlling contractor to inform a steel
erector to leave fall protection at the
jobsite to three hours for controlling
contractors to obtain approval from the
project structural engineer of record
before modifying anchor bolts.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
30,339.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
