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
E:\FR\FM\31JYN1.SGM
31JYN1
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
44776
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 148 / Thursday, July 31, 2008 / Notices
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).
Test Records for Hooks (paragraph
1915.113(b)(1)). This paragraph requires
that the manufacturer’s
recommendations be followed in
determining the safe working loads of
the various sizes and types of hooks. If
the manufacturer’s recommendations
are not available, the hook must be
tested to twice the intended safe
working load before it is initially put
into use. The employer must maintain
and keep readily available a certification
record which includes the date of such
test, the signature of the person who
performed the test, and the identifier for
the hook which was tested.
The records are used to assure that
equipment has been properly tested.
The records also provide the most
efficient means for the compliance
officers to determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard.
Examination and Test Records for
Unfired Pressure Vessels (paragraph
1915.172(d)). This paragraph requires
that portable, unfired pressure vessels
not built to the requirements of the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, Section VIII, Rules for
Construction of Unfired Pressure
Vessels, 1963 be examined quarterly by
a competent person and subjected to a
yearly hydrostatic pressure test. A
certification record of such
examinations and tests shall be
maintained.
The records are used to assure that
equipment has been properly tested.
The records also provide the most
efficient means for the compliance
officers to determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard. OSHA
does not believe that there are any
unfired pressure vessels not built to the
requirements of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII,
Rules for Construction of Unfired
Pressure Vessels, 1963 currently in use.
However, for purposes of completing
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
this ICR, the Agency is calculating
burden and cost for this provision.
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
Shipyard Employment Standards (29
CFR 1915.113(b)(1) and 29 CFR
1915.172(d)). OSHA is proposing to
decrease the existing burden hour
estimate for the collection of
information requirements specified by
the Standards from 3,520 hours to 2,137
hours, a total decrease of 383 hours.
This proposed adjustment decrease is a
result of a decline in the number of
establishments from 717 to 639 based on
updated data. 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: Shipyard Employment
Standards (29 CFR 1915.113(b)(1) and
29 CFR 1915.172(d)).
OMB Number: 1218–0220.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit organizations;
Federal Government; State, Local, or

Average Time per Response: Varies
from 2 minutes (.03 hour) to maintain a
certification record to 35 minutes (.58
hour) to obtain certain information from
a manufacturer.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 3,137.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

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
[[Page 44776]]
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).
Test Records for Hooks (paragraph 1915.113(b)(1)). This paragraph
requires that the manufacturer's recommendations be followed in
determining the safe working loads of the various sizes and types of
hooks. If the manufacturer's recommendations are not available, the
hook must be tested to twice the intended safe working load before it
is initially put into use. The employer must maintain and keep readily
available a certification record which includes the date of such test,
the signature of the person who performed the test, and the identifier
for the hook which was tested.
The records are used to assure that equipment has been properly
tested. The records also provide the most efficient means for the
compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with the
Standard.
Examination and Test Records for Unfired Pressure Vessels
(paragraph 1915.172(d)). This paragraph requires that portable, unfired
pressure vessels not built to the requirements of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII,
Rules for Construction of Unfired Pressure Vessels, 1963 be examined
quarterly by a competent person and subjected to a yearly hydrostatic
pressure test. A certification record of such examinations and tests
shall be maintained.
The records are used to assure that equipment has been properly
tested. The records also provide the most efficient means for the
compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with the
Standard. OSHA does not believe that there are any unfired pressure
vessels not built to the requirements of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII,
Rules for Construction of Unfired Pressure Vessels, 1963 currently in
use. However, for purposes of completing this ICR, the Agency is
calculating burden and cost for this provision.
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 Shipyard Employment Standards
(29 CFR 1915.113(b)(1) and 29 CFR 1915.172(d)). OSHA is proposing to
decrease the existing burden hour estimate for the collection of
information requirements specified by the Standards from 3,520 hours to
2,137 hours, a total decrease of 383 hours. This proposed adjustment
decrease is a result of a decline in the number of establishments from
717 to 639 based on updated data. 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.

CFR 1915.172(d)).
