RIN 1218–AC80
Record Requirements in the
Mechanical Power Presses Standard
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Proposed rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
OSHA is proposing to make
two main revisions to its Mechanical
Power Presses Standard. First, OSHA is
proposing to revise a provision that
requires employers to develop and
maintain certification records of
periodic inspections performed on the
presses by adding a requirement that
they develop and maintain certification
records of any maintenance and repairs
they perform on the presses during the
periodic inspections. Second, OSHA is
proposing to remove the requirement
from another provision that employers
develop and maintain certification
records of weekly inspections and tests
performed on the presses.
This rulemaking is part of the
Department of Labor’s initiative to
reduce paperwork burden; it will
remove 613,600 hours of unnecessary
paperwork burden for employers, while
maintaining employee protection.
OSHA is publishing a companion direct
final rule elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register taking this same
action.
SUMMARY:
Submit comments on this
proposed rule (including comments to
the information-collection (paperwork)
determination (described under the
section titled ‘‘Procedural
Determinations’’), hearing requests, and
other information by December 20,
2013. All submissions must bear a
postmark or provide other evidence of
the submission date. The following
section describes the available methods
for making submissions.

comments that contain personal
information (either about themselves or
others) such as Social Security numbers,
birth dates, and medical data.
OSHA requests comment on all issues
related to this proposed rule. The
Agency also welcomes comments on its
findings that this proposed rule would
have no negative economic, paperwork,
or other regulatory impacts on the
regulated community. This proposed
rule is the companion document to a
direct final rule published in the
‘‘Rules’’ section of this issue of the
Federal Register. If OSHA receives no
significant adverse comment on the
proposal or direct final rule, the Agency
will publish a Federal Register notice
confirming the effective date of the final
rule and withdrawing this companion
proposed rule. The final rule may
include minor editorial or technical
corrections of the direct final rule. For
the purpose of judicial review, OSHA
considers the date that the Agency
confirms the effective date of the final
rule to be the date of issuance. If,
however, OSHA receives significant
adverse comment on the direct final rule
or proposal, the Agency will publish a
timely withdrawal of the direct final
rule and proceed with the proposed
rule, which addresses the same
revisions to its Mechanical Power
Presses Standard.
Docket: The electronic docket for this
proposed rule established at https://
www.regulations.gov lists most of the
documents in the docket. However,
some information (for example,
copyrighted material) is not available
