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)
(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 effort in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements in the Coke Oven
Emissions Standard provide protection
for workers from the adverse health
effects associated with exposure to coke
oven emissions. In this regard, the Coke
Oven Emissions Standard requires
employers to monitor workers’ exposure
to coke oven emissions, monitor worker
health, and provide workers with
information about their exposures and
the health effects of exposure to coke
oven emissions.
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 to protect workers,
including whether the information is
useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) 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
The Agency is requesting a slight
adjustment decrease of 148 burden

hours (from 51,792 hours to 51,644).
The adjustment decrease is due to an
increase in the total number of workers
identified in (NAICS 331111). The
Agency will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB.

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

and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time

instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information

Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et

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 Slings Standard (29 CFR
1910.184) specifies several paperwork
requirements, depending on the type of
sling (paragraph (e) of the Standard
covers alloy steel chain slings;
paragraph (f) covers wire rope slings;
paragraph (g) covers metal mesh slings;
paragraph (h) covers natural and
synthetic fiber-rope slings; and
paragraph (i) covers synthetic web
slings).
The purpose of each of these
requirements is to prevent workers from
using defective or deteriorated slings,
thereby reducing their risk of death or
serious injury caused by sling failure
during material handling. The
information on the identification tags,
markings, and coding’s assist the
employer in determining whether the
sling can be used for lifting. The sling
inspections enable early detection of
faulty slings. The inspection and repair
records provide employers with the date
of the last inspection and the type of
repairs made. This information provides
assurance about the condition of the
slings. These records also provide the
most efficient means for an OSHA
compliance officer to determine that an
employer is complying with the
Standard. Proof-testing certificates give
employers, workers, and OSHA
compliance officers assurance that the
slings are safe to use.
II. Special Issues for Comment

total increase of 3,059 hours. This
adjustment increase results from
increasing the number of slings (from
1,350,000 to 1,525,000).
