SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Marine Terminals and Longshoring
Standards information collection
requirements are related to the testing,
certification, and marking of specific
types of cargo lifting appliances and
associated cargo handling gear and other
cargo handling equipment such as
conveyors and industrial trucks. The
information the OSHA requires from
employers are necessary to reduce
worker injuries and fatalities associated
with cargo lifting gear, transfer of
vehicular cargo, manual cargo handling,
and exposure to hazardous atmospheres.
This information collection is 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 Control
Number 1218–0196. The current OMB
approval is scheduled to expire on June
30, 2012; however, it should be noted
that existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on April 26, 2012 (77 FR 24990).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send timely comments to the OMB,
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs at the address shown in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should

reference OMB Control Number 1218–
0196. The OMB is particularly
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
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
