Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 189 / Thursday, September 29, 2016 / Notices
Section 1910.255(e) requires that a
periodic inspection of resistance
welding equipment be made by
qualified maintenance personnel, and
that a certification record be generated
and maintained. The certification shall
include the date of the inspection, the
signature of the person who performed
the inspection and the serial number, or
other identifier, for the equipment
inspected. The record shall be made
available to an OSHA inspector upon
request. The maintenance inspection
ensures that welding equipment is in
safe operating condition while the
maintenance record provides evidence
to workers and Agency compliance
officers that employers performed the
required inspections.

II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary

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 accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:51 Sep 28, 2016
Jkt 238001
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires OSHA to 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).
OSHA conducts peer reviews to
review a draft product for quality by
specialists in the field who were not
involved in producing the draft. The
selection of participants in a peer
review is based on expertise, with due
consideration of independence. The
Office of Management and Budget
published the Final Information Quality
Bulletin for Peer Review on December
15, 2004. The Bulletin states ‘‘. . . the
agency must address reviewers’
potential conflicts of interest (including
those stemming from ties to regulated
businesses and other stakeholders) and
independence from the agency.’’ The
Bulletin requires agencies to adopt or
adapt the committee selection policies
employed by the National Academy of
Sciences (NAS) when selecting peer
reviewers who are not Government
employees. To fulfill this requirement,
OSHA has developed a Conflict of
Interest (COI) and Disclosure Form,
based on NAS’ Conflict of Interest
Disclosure form. This form will be used
to determine whether or not a conflict
exists for a potential peer review panel
member.
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 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
There are no changes in burden hours
from the previous Information
Collection Request for obtaining the
necessary background information and
disclosure of conflict of interest
information to ensure that invited
experts are not compromised. There are
no costs as discussed under Item 13 of
the Supporting Statement.

OSHA solicits public

The only information collection

employer who modifies an aerial lift for
a use not intended by the lift
manufacturer (‘‘field modified aerial
lift’’) to obtain from that manufacturer,
or an equivalent entity (such as a
nationally-recognized laboratory), a
written certificate stating that: The
modification conforms to the applicable
provisions of ANSI A92.2–1969 and
OSHA’s Aerial Lifts Standard; and the
modified aerial lift is at least as safe as
it was before modification.
Employers who modify an aerial lift
for uses other than those provided by
the manufacturer must obtain a
certificate from the manufacturer or
equivalent entity certifying that the
modification is in conformance with

conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an

The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
