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
E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM
29SEN1
56616
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 189 / Monday, September 29, 2008 / Notices
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).
Under the paperwork requirement
specified by paragraph (c) of the
Standard, employers must certify that
his or her employees have been trained
as specified by the performancelanguage training provision of the
Standard. Specifically, employers must
prepare a certification record which
includes the identity of the person
trained, the signature of the employer or
the person who conducted the training,
and the date the training was
completed. The certification record
shall be prepared at the completion of
training and shall be maintained on file
for the duration of the employee’s
employment. The information collected
would be used by employers as well as
compliance officers to determine
whether employees have been trained
according to the requirements set forth
in 29 CFR 1910.268(c).
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
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 requirement contained in the
Standard on Telecommunications (29
CFR 1910.268). In the existing ICR, the
Agency calculated burden hours and
cost for the training certification record
for all employees working in the
telecommunications industry. After
further research, the Agency has found
that this is not the case; only a
percentage of employees in
telecommunications customer service
and all telecommunications equipment
installers and repairers, and line
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
installers and repairers are subject to the
training requirement of the Standard.
Therefore, OSHA is proposing to
decrease the existing burden hour
estimate for the collection of
information requirement specified by
the Standard from 4,202 hours to 1,507
hours, for a total decrease of 2,695
hours. 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: Telecommunications (29 CFR
1910.268).
OMB Number: 1218–0225.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; not-for-profit organizations;
Federal Government; State, Local, or
Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 668.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Three (3)
minutes for an establishment to disclose
training records and 3 minutes for the
training record to be generated.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,507.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
