Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 178 / Friday, September 13, 2013 / Notices
other work subject to subpart V of 29
CFR part 1926’’ (78 FR 32110). Section
II. D, Paperwork Reduction Act, of the
final rule, stated:
This rule, which expands the diggerderrick exemption, does not require any
additional collection of information or alter
the substantive requirements detailed in the
2010 ICR. The only impact on the collection
of information will be a reduction in the
number of entities collecting information.
OMB did not require OSHA to submit a new
proposed ICR when OSHA issued the
proposed rule, and OSHA does not believe it
is necessary to submit a new ICR to OMB
now. OSHA will identify any reduction in
burden hours when it renews the ICR. OSHA
requested comment on this approach in the
proposed rulemaking describing the diggerderrick exemption, but received none.
OSHA has revised the ICR to exempt
digger derricks used in construction
work subject to 29 CFR part 1926
subpart V.

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
As a result of expanding the diggerderrick exemption to include all digger
derricks used in construction work
subject to 29 CFR part 1926 subpart V,
OSHA is requesting a program change
decrease of 35,715 hours, from 403,413
hours to 367,698 hours.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in its
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements contained in the Cranes
and Derricks Standard.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Cranes and Derricks in
Construction (29 CFR part 1926 Subpart
CC).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0261.

Application Details
1. Applicant: Erin Pettit, Dept. of
Geology and Geophysics, University
of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK.
Permit Application: 2014–015.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: ASPA Entry; The applicant
proposes to access the Blood Falls
ASPA by foot to install instrumentation
to assess the physical aspects of the
Blood Falls system using nondestructive and non-invasive
techniques. All instrumentation will be
removed before this permit expires.
Instruments to be deployed would
include: ground penetrating radar
(GPR), thermal imaging camera,
embedded thermal sensors, stakes to
measure ablation and GPS units to
monitor the motion of the glacier. The
GPR system will be moved carefully
using a system of ice anchors, ice
screws, and ropes that will be removed
from the site when no longer in use. All
embedded sensor strings will be
removed before the permit expires. The
applicants would wear clean footwear to
enter to the ASPA to reduce the risk of
non-native species invasions. The
applicant would camp outside of the
boundary of the area.
Location: ASPA 172 Lower Taylor
Glacier and Blood Falls, McMurdo Dry
Valleys.

Application Details
1. Applicant: Jill Mikucki, Department
of Microbiology, University of
Tennessee, Knoxville, TN. Permit
Application: 2014–014.
Activity for Which Permit is
Requested: ASPA Entry; The applicants
wish to access the Blood Falls outflow
and subsurface brine conduit. They
would use a mobile drill system and a
small probe (Minimally Invasive Direct
Glacier Exploration MIDGE) equipped
with a camera to visualize the conduit.
The applicant would collect
biogeochemical samples to increase the
body of knowledge on subglacial
environments and aid in developing
clean access methods. During the first
field season, the applicant would
familiarize themselves with the site and
conduct only non-destructive and noninvasive sampling from the Blood Falls
outflow. During the second field season,
the applicant would use the drill and
MIDGE probe to explore the Blood Falls
crevasse and brine conduit. The
instruments would penetrate
approximately 50 meters and would not
be near the glacier base or subglacial
source of brine.
Results from these studies could help
inform management of the Blood Falls
ASPA. Clean access techniques would

be used and drilling would not go as
