SUMMARY:
The
Confined and Enclosed Spaces and
Other Dangerous Atmospheres in
Shipyard Employment Standards of 29
CFR part 1915 require that employers:
(1) Ensure competent persons conduct
inspections and atmospheric testing
prior to workers entering a confined or
enclosed space (§ 1915.12(a)–(c)); (2)
warn workers not to enter hazardous
spaces and other dangerous

atmospheres (§§ 1915.12 (a)–(c),
1915.16); (3) train workers who will be
entering confined or enclosed spaces
and certify such training has been
provided (§ 1915.12(d)); (4) establish
and train shipyard rescue teams or
arrange for outside rescue teams and
provide them with information
(§ 1915.12(e)); (5) ensure one person on
each rescue team maintains a current
first aid training certificate
(§ 1915.12(e)); (6) exchange information
regarding hazards, safety rules, and
emergency procedures concerning these
spaces and atmospheres with other
employers whose workers may enter
these spaces and atmospheres
(§ 1915.12(f)); (7) ensure testing of
spaces having contained combustible or
flammable liquids or gases and toxic,
corrosive, or irritating substances, and
other dangerous atmospheres,
boundaries or pipelines before cleaning
and other cold work is started and as
necessary thereafter while the
operations are ongoing (§ 1915.13(b)(2)
and (4)); (8) post signs prohibiting
ignition sources within or near a space
that contains bulk quantities of
flammable or combustible liquids or
gases (§ 1915.13(b)(10)); (9) ensure
confined and enclosed spaces are tested
before workers perform hot work in
these work areas (§ 1915.14(a)); (10) post
warnings of testing conducted by
competent persons and certificates of
testing conducted by a Marine Chemist
or Coast Guard authorized person in the
immediate vicinity of the hot-work
operation while the operation is in
progress (§ 1915.14(a) and (b)); and (11)
retain certificates of testing on file for at
least three months after completing the
operation (§ 1915.14(a)(2)).
These information collections are
subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information, and the public
is generally not required to respond to
an information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1218–0011. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
August 31, 2011; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month

order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1218–

interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,

I. Background
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
ACTION:
PO 00000
Frm 00118
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
45621
The information collection is required
by sections 203(b)(3), 212(a)(5)(A),
212(m), (n), (t), 214(c), and 218 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
(8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(3), 1182(a)(5)(A),
1182(m), (n), (t), 1184(c), and 1188) and
8 CFR 214.2(h). The INA and applicable
DHS regulations require the Secretary of
Labor (Secretary) to certify, among other
things, that any foreign worker seeking
to enter the United States (U.S.) for the
purpose of performing certain skilled or
unskilled labor will not, by doing so,
adversely affect wages and working
conditions of U.S. workers similarly
employed. The Secretary must also
certify that there are not sufficient U.S.
workers able, willing, and qualified to
perform such skilled or unskilled labor.
Before an employer may petition for
temporary or permanent skilled or
unskilled foreign workers, it must
submit a request for certification to the
Secretary containing the elements
prescribed by the INA and regulations,
which differ depending on the visa
program under which the labor is
sought. In addition, before the Secretary
can certify that wages for U.S. workers
have not been adversely affected, she
must ensure that the employer offers the
required wage to the foreign workers in
accordance with the Department’s
applicable labor certification
regulations.
II. Review Process
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
Department’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
III. Current Actions
In order to meet its responsibilities
under the INA, the Department needs to
extend an existing collection of
information pertaining to the H–2A and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Confined and Enclosed Spaces and Other
Dangerous Atmospheres in Shipyard Employment Standards of 29 CFR part
1915 require that employers: (1) Ensure competent persons conduct
inspections and atmospheric testing prior to workers entering a
confined or enclosed space (Sec. 1915.12(a)-(c)); (2) warn workers not
to enter hazardous spaces and other dangerous atmospheres (Sec. Sec.
1915.12 (a)-(c), 1915.16); (3) train workers who will be entering
confined or enclosed spaces and certify such training has been provided
(Sec. 1915.12(d)); (4) establish and train shipyard rescue teams or
arrange for outside rescue teams and provide them with information
(Sec. 1915.12(e)); (5) ensure one person on each rescue team maintains
a current first aid training certificate (Sec. 1915.12(e)); (6)
exchange information regarding hazards, safety rules, and emergency
procedures concerning these spaces and atmospheres with other employers
whose workers may enter these spaces and atmospheres (Sec.
1915.12(f)); (7) ensure testing of spaces having contained combustible
or flammable liquids or gases and toxic, corrosive, or irritating
substances, and other dangerous atmospheres, boundaries or pipelines
before cleaning and other cold work is started and as necessary
thereafter while the operations are ongoing (Sec. 1915.13(b)(2) and
(4)); (8) post signs prohibiting ignition sources within or near a
space that contains bulk quantities of flammable or combustible liquids
or gases (Sec. 1915.13(b)(10)); (9) ensure confined and enclosed
spaces are tested before workers perform hot work in these work areas
(Sec. 1915.14(a)); (10) post warnings of testing conducted by
competent persons and certificates of testing conducted by a Marine
Chemist or Coast Guard authorized person in the immediate vicinity of
the hot-work operation while the operation is in progress (Sec.
1915.14(a) and (b)); and (11) retain certificates of testing on file
for at least three months after completing the operation (Sec.
1915.14(a)(2)).
These information collections are subject to the PRA. A Federal
agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information,
and the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the
collection of information does not display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB Control Number 1218-0011. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2011; however, it
should be noted that existing information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month
