Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree (‘‘Decree’’) with the
United States District Court for the
District of Wyoming in the lawsuit
entitled United States v. Bryan Pownall,
Civil Action No. 13–CV–142–F. The
action concerns the public water system
the defendant, Bryan Pownall
(‘‘Defendant’’) uses to provide water to
the Bryan’s Place bar and a few trailer
homes located in Rozet, Campbell
County, Wyoming, about 16 miles east
of Gillette, Wyoming. The Decree
resolves the claims alleged in the United
States’ Complaint that Defendant failed

reporting, and other requirements of the
Safe Drinking Water Act and the
National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations (‘‘NPDWRs’’), two
administrative compliance orders issued
by EPA on May 20, 2010 and July 24,
2011, and a final order issued by EPA
on November 7, 2011 resolving an
administrative complaint against
Defendant. The Decree requires
Defendant comply with a list of specific
regulatory requirements for a period of
four years, subject to an early
termination provision. The Decree
provides that if Defendant connects the
Bryan’s Place public water system to a
new regional water system extended
form Gillette, Wyoming to Rozet,
Wyoming, and provides proof to EPA

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 accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (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 OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
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).
The collections of information
contained in the Logging Operations
Standard are necessary to reduce
workers’ risk of death or serious injury
by requiring employers to assure that
operating and maintenance instructions
are available on machines or in the area
where the machine is operated. For
vehicles, employers must assure that
operating and maintenance instructions
are available for each vehicle.
Maintenance and Operating Instructions
(§§ 1910.266(f)(1)(iii) and (g)(3))
Under paragraph (f)(1)(iii) and (g)(3)
of the Standard, employers must assure
that operating and maintenance
instructions are available on machines
or in the area where the machine is
being operated, and in vehicles. For
those machines with no operating
instructions in the cab, the employer
will be required to obtain and retain a
manual within the immediate work area
for each machine. Since the Logging
Operations final rule has been in effect
since 1995, OSHA assumes that all
employers are in compliance with the
provision to have operating and
maintenance instructions available on
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
73207
machines or in the area where the
machines are being operated.
Certification of Training
(§ 1910.266(i)(10)(i) and (i)(10)(ii))
Paragraph (i)(10)(i) requires
employers to certify in writing that a
worker/supervisor received the training
the Standard requires. Under paragraph
(i)(10)(ii), employers need only maintain
the most recent certification for training
that a worker/supervisor has received.
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 cost) 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 Action
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Logging Operations Standard (29 CFR
1910.266). OSHA is proposing to
decrease the burden hours in its
currently approved information
collection request from 25,957 burden
hours to 1,622 burden hours (a total
decrease of 24,335 hours). This decrease
is due to updated data showing a
decrease in the number of
establishments affected by the Standard
as well as the removal of burden hours
associated with the requirement that
employers provide training to workers.
Upon further analysis, this provision is
not considered to be a collection of
information under PRA–95. 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.
