Background The Department of Labor, as part of the 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 (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 PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Date of institution 04/28/20 04/29/20 04/29/20 04/29/20 04/30/20 Date of petition 04/27/20 04/27/20 04/27/20 04/28/20 04/29/20 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 efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). The Anhydrous Ammonia Storage and Handling Standard (29 CFR 1910.111) specifies a number of paperwork requirements. The following is a brief description of the collection of information requirements contained in the standard. Paragraph (b)(3) of the Standard specifies that systems have nameplates if required, and that these nameplates ‘‘be permanently attached to the system (as specified by paragraph (b)(3)(i)) so as to be readily accessible for inspection . . . .’’ In addition, paragraph (b)(3)(ii) requires that markings on containers and systems covered by paragraphs (c) (‘‘Systems utilizing stationary, nonrefrigerated storage containers’’), (f) (‘‘Tank motor vehicles for the transportation of ammonia’’), (g) (‘‘Systems mounted on farm vehicles other than for the application of ammonia’’), and (h) (‘‘Systems mounted on farm vehicles for the application of ammonia’’) provide information regarding nine specific characteristics of the containers and systems. Similarly, paragraph (b)(4) of the Standard specifies that refrigerated containers be marked with a nameplate on the outer covering in an accessible place that provides information regarding eight specific characteristics of the container. The required markings ensure that employers use only properly designed and tested containers and systems to store anhydrous ammonia, thereby preventing accidental release of, and exposure of workers to, this highly toxic and corrosive substance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the 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 
(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 efforts in obtaining information 
(29 U.S.C. 657).
    The Anhydrous Ammonia Storage and Handling Standard (29 CFR 
1910.111) specifies a number of paperwork requirements. The following 
is a brief description of the collection of information requirements 
contained in the standard.
    Paragraph (b)(3) of the Standard specifies that systems have 
nameplates if required, and that these nameplates ``be permanently 
attached to the system (as specified by paragraph (b)(3)(i)) so as to 
be readily accessible for inspection . . . .'' In addition, paragraph 
(b)(3)(ii) requires that markings on containers and systems covered by 
paragraphs (c) (``Systems utilizing stationary, non-refrigerated 
storage containers''), (f) (``Tank motor vehicles for the 
transportation of ammonia''), (g) (``Systems mounted on farm vehicles 
other than for the application of ammonia''), and (h) (``Systems 
mounted on farm vehicles for the application of ammonia'') provide 
information regarding nine specific characteristics of the containers 
and systems. Similarly, paragraph (b)(4) of the Standard specifies that 
refrigerated containers be marked with a nameplate on the outer 
covering in an accessible place that provides information regarding 
eight specific characteristics of the container.
    The required markings ensure that employers use only properly 
designed and tested containers and systems to store anhydrous ammonia, 
thereby preventing accidental release of, and exposure of workers to, 
this highly toxic and corrosive substance.

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

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the collection 
of information (paperwork) requirements contained in the Anhydrous 
Ammonia Storage and Handling Standard. There is a slight adjustment
