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 of 1995 (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 (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 (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 information collection
requirements specified by the Electrical
Standards for Construction (29 CFR part
1926, subpart K) and for General
Industry (29 CFR part 1910, subpart S)
alert workers to the presence and types
of electrical hazards in the workplace,
thereby preventing serious injury and
death by electrocution. The information
collection requirements in these
Standards involve the following: The
employer using electrical equipment
that is marked with the manufacturer’s
name, trademark, or other descriptive
markings that identify the producer of
the equipment, and marking the
equipment with the voltage, current,
wattage, or other ratings necessary;
requiring each disconnecting means for
motors and appliances to be marked
legibly to indicate its purpose, unless
located and arranged so the purpose is
evident; requiring the entrances to
rooms and other guarded locations
containing exposed live parts to be
marked with conspicuous warning signs
