SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
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
E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
22280
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 27, 2021 / Notices
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 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 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 efforts in
obtaining said information (29 U.S.C.
657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to reduce employees’
risk of death or serious injury by
ensuring that equipment has been tested
and is in safe operating condition.
Manila rope and manila-rope slings
(paragraph 1915.112(a)(1))—The
employer must ensure that manila rope
and manila-rope slings have
permanently affixed and legible
identification markings as prescribed by
the manufacturer that indicate the
recommended safe working load for the
type(s) of hitch(es) used, the angle upon
which it is based, and the number of
legs if more than one.
Wire rope and wire-rope slings
(paragraph 1915.112(b)(1)(i))—The
employer must ensure that wire rope
and wire-rope slings have permanently
affixed and legible identification
markings as prescribed by the
manufacturer that indicate the
recommended safe working load for the
type(s) of hitch(es) used, the angle upon
which it is based, and the number of
legs if more than one.
Chain and chain slings (paragraph
1915.112(c)(1)(i))—The employer must
ensure that chain and chain slings have
permanently affixed and legible
identification markings as prescribed by
the manufacturer that indicate the
recommended safe working load for the
type(s) of hitch(es) used, the angle upon
which it is based, and the number of
legs if more than one.
Chain and chain slings (paragraph
1915.112(c)(2))—The employer shall
visually inspect all sling chains,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:52 Apr 26, 2021
Jkt 253001
including end fastenings, before being
used on the job, as well as every three
months. The inspection shall include
inspection for wear, defective welds,
deformation and increase in length or
stretch. Each chain shall bear an
indication of the month in which it was
thoroughly inspected.
Shackles (paragraph
1915.113(a)(1))—The employer must
ensure that shackles have permanently
affixed and legible identification
markings as prescribed by the
manufacturer that indicate the
recommended safe working load.
Test Records for Hooks (paragraph
1915.113(b)(1))—This paragraph
requires that the manufacturer’s
recommendations be followed in
determining the safe working loads of
the various sizes and types of hooks. If
the manufacturer’s recommendations
are not available, the hook must be
tested to twice the intended safe
working load before it is initially put
into use. The employer must maintain
and keep readily available a certification
record which includes the date of such
test, the signature of the person who
performed the test, and an identifier for
the hook which was tested.
The records are used to assure that
equipment has been properly tested.
The records also provide the most
efficient means for the compliance
officers to determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard.
Mobile Crawler or Truck Cranes Used
on a Vessel (paragraph 1915.115(c))—
This paragraph requires that the
maximum manufacturer’s rated safe
working loads for the various working
radii of the boom and the maximum and
minimum radii at which the boom may
be safely used with and without
outriggers shall be conspicuously posted
near the controls and shall be visible to
the operator.
Examination and Test Records for
Unfired Pressure Vessels (paragraphs
1915.172(b) and (d))—Paragraph (b)
requires that portable, unfired pressure
vessels not built to the requirements of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, Section VIII, Rules for
Construction of Unfired Pressure
Vessels, 1963 be examined quarterly by
a competent person and subjected to a
yearly hydrostatic pressure test. A
certification record of such
examinations and tests shall be
maintained as specified by paragraph
(d).
• 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 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 an adjustment
decrease in the existing burden hour
estimates for the collection of
information requirements specified by
the Standards from 11,813 hours to
10,610 hours, a total difference of 1,203
hours. This decrease is due to a change
in the number of establishments. In this
ICR, the scope of the maritime standards
in 29 CFR 1915 for slings, shackles, and
hooks are based on the Final Economic
Analysis for the Final Rule revising
subpart F of 29 CFR part 1915 prepared
by OSHA’s Office of Regulatory
Analysis. As a result of the Final Rule,
the revision of the standard applies to
all shipyard employment which is
defined in § 1915.4(i) as ship repairing,
shipbuilding, shipbreaking, and related
employment. Also, upon further
analysis, the agency identified two new
collections of information contained in
the Standard under paragraphs
§§ 1915.112(c)(2) and 1915.115(c)(1).
The agency will summarize any
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 collection.
Title: Shipyard Employment
Standards (29 CFR part 1915).
OMB Number: 1218–0220.

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
[[Page 22280]]
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 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 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 efforts in
obtaining said information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who uses the information collected
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of
these requirements is to reduce employees' risk of death or serious
injury by ensuring that equipment has been tested and is in safe
operating condition.
Manila rope and manila-rope slings (paragraph 1915.112(a)(1))--The
employer must ensure that manila rope and manila-rope slings have
permanently affixed and legible identification markings as prescribed
by the manufacturer that indicate the recommended safe working load for
the type(s) of hitch(es) used, the angle upon which it is based, and
the number of legs if more than one.
Wire rope and wire-rope slings (paragraph 1915.112(b)(1)(i))--The
employer must ensure that wire rope and wire-rope slings have
permanently affixed and legible identification markings as prescribed
by the manufacturer that indicate the recommended safe working load for
the type(s) of hitch(es) used, the angle upon which it is based, and
the number of legs if more than one.
Chain and chain slings (paragraph 1915.112(c)(1)(i))--The employer
must ensure that chain and chain slings have permanently affixed and
legible identification markings as prescribed by the manufacturer that
indicate the recommended safe working load for the type(s) of hitch(es)
used, the angle upon which it is based, and the number of legs if more
than one.
Chain and chain slings (paragraph 1915.112(c)(2))--The employer
shall visually inspect all sling chains, including end fastenings,
before being used on the job, as well as every three months. The
inspection shall include inspection for wear, defective welds,
deformation and increase in length or stretch. Each chain shall bear an
indication of the month in which it was thoroughly inspected.
Shackles (paragraph 1915.113(a)(1))--The employer must ensure that
shackles have permanently affixed and legible identification markings
as prescribed by the manufacturer that indicate the recommended safe
working load.
Test Records for Hooks (paragraph 1915.113(b)(1))--This paragraph
requires that the manufacturer's recommendations be followed in
determining the safe working loads of the various sizes and types of
hooks. If the manufacturer's recommendations are not available, the
hook must be tested to twice the intended safe working load before it
is initially put into use. The employer must maintain and keep readily
available a certification record which includes the date of such test,
the signature of the person who performed the test, and an identifier
for the hook which was tested.
The records are used to assure that equipment has been properly
tested. The records also provide the most efficient means for the
compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with the
Standard.
Mobile Crawler or Truck Cranes Used on a Vessel (paragraph
1915.115(c))--This paragraph requires that the maximum manufacturer's
rated safe working loads for the various working radii of the boom and
the maximum and minimum radii at which the boom may be safely used with
and without outriggers shall be conspicuously posted near the controls
and shall be visible to the operator.
Examination and Test Records for Unfired Pressure Vessels
(paragraphs 1915.172(b) and (d))--Paragraph (b) requires that portable,
unfired pressure vessels not built to the requirements of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,
Section VIII, Rules for Construction of Unfired Pressure Vessels, 1963
be examined quarterly by a competent person and subjected to a yearly
hydrostatic pressure test. A certification record of such examinations
and tests shall be maintained as specified by paragraph (d).
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
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 an adjustment decrease in the existing burden
hour estimates for the collection of information requirements specified
by the Standards from 11,813 hours to 10,610 hours, a total difference
of 1,203 hours. This decrease is due to a change in the number of
establishments. In this ICR, the scope of the maritime standards in 29
CFR 1915 for slings, shackles, and hooks are based on the Final
Economic Analysis for the Final Rule revising subpart F of 29 CFR part
1915 prepared by OSHA's Office of Regulatory Analysis. As a result of
the Final Rule, the revision of the standard applies to all shipyard
employment which is defined in Sec. 1915.4(i) as ship repairing,
shipbuilding, shipbreaking, and related employment. Also, upon further
analysis, the agency identified two new collections of information
contained in the Standard under paragraphs Sec. Sec. 1915.112(c)(2)
and 1915.115(c)(1). The agency will summarize any comments submitted in
response to this notice and will include this summary in the request to
OMB.
