SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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 Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:25 Jun 18, 2014
Jkt 232001
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).
Paragraph (a)(2) of the Material
Hoists, Personnel Hoists, and Elevators
Standard requires that the rated load
capacities, recommended operating
speeds, and special hazard warnings or
instructions be posted on cars and
platforms. Paragraph (b)(1)(i) requires
that operating rules for material hoists
be established and posted at the
operator’s station of the hoist. These
rules shall include signal system and
allowable line speed for various loads.
Paragraph (c)(10) requires that cars be
provided with a capacity and data plate
secured in a conspicuous place on the
car or crosshead.
These posting requirements are used
by the operator and crew of the material
and personnel hoists to determine how
to use the specific machine and how
much it will be able to lift as assembled
in one or a number of particular
configurations. If not properly used, the
machine would be subject to failures,
endangering the workers in the
immediate vicinity.
Paragraph (c)(15) requires that a test
and inspection of all functions and
safety devices be made following the
assembly and erection of hoists. The test
and inspection are to be conducted
under the supervision of a competent
person. A similar inspection and test is
required following major alteration of an
existing installation. All hoists shall be
inspected and tested at three-month
intervals. A certification record (the
most recent) of the test and inspection
must be kept on file, including the date
the test and inspection was completed,
the identification of the equipment and
the signature of the person who
performed the test and inspection. This
certification ensures that the equipment
has been tested and is in safe operating
condition. The most recent certification
record will be disclosed to a
Compliance Safety and Health Officer
during an OSHA inspection.
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,
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Material Hoists, Personnel
Hoists, and Elevators (29 CFR 1926.552).
The Agency is requesting an adjustment
decrease from 20,957 burden hours to
7,103 burden hours, a total reduction of
13,854 burden hours. The decrease is
due to a decrease in the number hoists
being used in the industry.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Material Hoists, Personnel
Hoists, and Elevators (29 CFR 1926.552).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0231.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 5,868.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Number of Responses: 26,547.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 2 minutes (.03 hour) for a
supervisor to disclose test and
inspection certification records to 60
minutes (1 hour) for a construction
worker to obtain and post information
for hoists.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 7,103.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

Section 1926.752(a)(1). Description of
the requirement. Based on the results of
a specified method for testing fieldcured samples, the controlling
contractor must provide the steel erector
with written notification that the
concrete in the footings, piers, and
walls, or the mortar in the masonry
piers and walls, is at 75% of its
minimum compressive-design strength
or has sufficient strength to support
loads imposed during steel erection.
Note: This is not and will not be
enforced for mortar in piers and walls
until OSHA defines an appropriate
substitute or until an appropriate
American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) test method is
developed.
Sections 1926.752(a)(2) and
1926.755(b)(1). Description of the
requirements. Under § 1926.752(a)(2),
the controlling contractor, before it
authorizes commencement of steel
erection, must notify the steel erector in
writing that any repairs, replacements,
and modifications to anchor bolts (rods)
have been made in accord with
§ 1926.755(b)(1) which requires that the
controlling contractor obtain approval

regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries,

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).
Paragraph (a)(2) of the Material Hoists, Personnel Hoists, and
Elevators Standard requires that the rated load capacities, recommended
