Background The Department of Labor, as part of a 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, the reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (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 (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires OSHA to obtain such information with a minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in obtaining said information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).

Doing so reduces the likelihood of igniting the explosive chemicals used in electrostatic detearing operations. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: • Whether the proposed information collection requirement is 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 requirement, 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 to retain the previous burden hour estimate of one (1) hour. There are no program changes or adjustments associated with the information collection requirement in the Standard. The agency has correspondingly adjusted the per response burden to maintain a time burden as close as is possible to the actual time of no hours (1 hour). OSHA is requesting that OMB extend approval of the information collection requirement contained in the Standard on Additional Requirements for Special Dipping and Coating Operations (Dip Tanks) (29 CFR 1910.126(g)(4)). This provision requires the employer to determine how far away goods being electrostatically deteared should be separated from electrodes or conductors, is called the ‘‘safe distance.’’ This minimum distance must be displayed conspicuously on a sign located near the equipment. OSHA has determined that where electrostatic equipment is being used, the information has already been ascertained and that the ‘‘safe distance’’ has been displayed on a sign in a permanent manner. The agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice, and will include this summary in the request to OMB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of a 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, the reporting burden (time and 
costs) is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood, 
and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. 
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (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 (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires 
OSHA to obtain such information with a minimum burden upon employers, 
especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the 
maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in obtaining 
said information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).

[[Page 60455]]

    The Standard on Dipping and Coating Operations (29 CFR 
1910.126(g)(4)) requires employers to post a conspicuous sign near each 
piece of electrostatic detearing equipment that notifies employees of 
the minimum safe distance they must maintain between goods undergoing 
electrostatic detearing and the electrodes or conductors of the 
equipment used in the process. Doing so reduces the likelihood of 
igniting the explosive chemicals used in electrostatic detearing 
operations.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirement is 
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 requirement, 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 to retain the previous burden hour 
estimate of one (1) hour. There are no program changes or adjustments 
associated with the information collection requirement in the Standard. 
The agency has correspondingly adjusted the per response burden to 
maintain a time burden as close as is possible to the actual time of no 
hours (1 hour). OSHA is requesting that OMB extend approval of the 
information collection requirement contained in the Standard on 
Additional Requirements for Special Dipping and Coating Operations (Dip 
Tanks) (29 CFR 1910.126(g)(4)). This provision requires the employer to 
determine how far away goods being electrostatically deteared should be 
separated from electrodes or conductors, is called the ``safe 
distance.'' This minimum distance must be displayed conspicuously on a 
sign located near the equipment.
    OSHA has determined that where electrostatic equipment is being 
used, the information has already been ascertained and that the ``safe 
distance'' has been displayed on a sign in a permanent manner. 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 information 
collection.

Operations (Dip Tanks) (29 CFR 1910.126(g)(4)).
