Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
General Working Conditions in
Shipyard Employment Standard
information collection requirements
codified in regulations 29 CFR part
1915, subpart F. The Standard covers
provisions that address conditions and
operations in shipyard employment that
may produce hazards for workers.
Subpart F consists of 14 sections that
include housekeeping; lighting; utilities;
working alone; vessel radar and
communication systems; lifeboats;
medical services and first aid;
sanitation; control of hazardous energy;
safety color code for marking physical
hazards; accident prevention signs and
tags; retention of Department of
Transportation markings, placards, and
labels; motor vehicle safety equipment,
operation and maintenance; and
servicing multi-piece and single-piece
rim wheels. Occupational Safety and
Health of 1970 sections 2(b)(9) and 8(c)
authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9) and 657(c).
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 that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL

Number 1218–0259.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
August 22, 2014 (79 FR 49819).

Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section by December 1, 2014. In order to
help ensure appropriate consideration,
comments should mention OMB Control
Number 1218–0259. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD 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 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:51 Oct 30, 2014
Jkt 235001
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements specified by the Electrical
Standards for Construction and the
Electrical Standards for General
Industry alert workers to the presence
and types of electrical hazards in the
workplace, thereby preventing serious
injury and death by electrocution. The
information collection requirements in
these Standards involve the following:
The employer using electrical
equipment that is marked with the
manufacturer’s name, trademark, or
other descriptive markings that identify
the producer of the equipment, and
marking the equipment with the voltage,
current, wattage, or other ratings
necessary; requiring each disconnecting
means for motors and appliances to be
marked legibly to indicate its purpose,
unless located and arranged so the
purpose is evident; requiring the
entrances to rooms and other guarded
locations containing exposed live parts
to be marked with conspicuous warning
signs forbidding unqualified persons
from entering; and, for construction
employers only, establishing and
implementing the assured equipment
grounding conductor program instead of
using ground-fault circuit interrupters.
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 Actions
OSHA is proposing an adjustment
increase to the existing burden hours
from 170,098 to 220,849 for the
Electrical Standards for Construction
and for General Industry, a total
increase of 50,751 hours. The cost of the
labels remains the same at $3.75 each,
however, the cost of caution and
warning signs increased to $10.95 6.95,
a total increase of $4.00 each. The total
cost over a five-year period to the
employer is $18,863,802 (or $3,772,760
PO 00000

per year). The Agency will summarize
any comments submitted in response to
this notice, and will include this
summary in the request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in
these Standards.

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 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 information collection requirements specified by the Electrical
Standards for Construction and the Electrical Standards for General
Industry alert workers to the presence and types of electrical hazards
in the workplace, thereby preventing serious injury and death by
electrocution. The information collection requirements in these
Standards involve the following: The employer using electrical
equipment that is marked with the manufacturer's name, trademark, or
other descriptive markings that identify the producer of the equipment,
and marking the equipment with the voltage, current, wattage, or other
ratings necessary; requiring each disconnecting means for motors and
appliances to be marked legibly to indicate its purpose, unless located
and arranged so the purpose is evident; requiring the entrances to
rooms and other guarded locations containing exposed live parts to be
marked with conspicuous warning signs forbidding unqualified persons
from entering; and, for construction employers only, establishing and
implementing the assured equipment grounding conductor program instead
of using ground-fault circuit interrupters.
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 Actions
OSHA is proposing an adjustment increase to the existing burden
hours from 170,098 to 220,849 for the Electrical Standards for
Construction and for General Industry, a total increase of 50,751
hours. The cost of the labels remains the same at $3.75 each, however,
the cost of caution and warning signs increased to $10.95 6.95, a total
