For further information on submitting comments, see the ‘‘Public SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 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, 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 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 following sections describe who uses the information collected under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of these requirements are to ensure that employers who modify an aerial lift for a use not intended by the lift manufacturer (field modified aerial lift) will obtain from that manufacturer, or an equivalent entity (such as a nationally-recognized laboratory), a written certificate stating that: the modification conforms to the applicable provisions of ANSI A92.2–1969 and OSHA’s Aerial Lifts Standard; and the modified aerial lift is at least as safe as it was before modification. Doing so reduces the likelihood of worker’s serious bodily injury or death during the operation of field modified aerial lifts. II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: E:\FR\FM\03APN1.SGM 03APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 63 / Monday, April 3, 2023 / Notices • 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 OSHA is requesting to retain its previous approved burden hour estimate of one (1) hour contained in the standard on Aerial Lifts (29 CFR 1926.453). There are no program changes or adjustments associated with the information collection requirement in the standard. The agency has correspondingly adjusted the per response time burden to maintain a burden as close as is possible to the actual time of no hours (1 hour).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 
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, 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 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 following sections describe who uses the information collected 
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of 
these requirements are to ensure that employers who modify an aerial 
lift for a use not intended by the lift manufacturer (field modified 
aerial lift) will obtain from that manufacturer, or an equivalent 
entity (such as a nationally-recognized laboratory), a written 
certificate stating that: the modification conforms to the applicable 
provisions of ANSI A92.2-1969 and OSHA's Aerial Lifts Standard; and the 
modified aerial lift is at least as safe as it was before modification. 
Doing so reduces the likelihood of worker's serious bodily injury or 
death during the operation of field modified aerial lifts.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:

[[Page 19681]]

     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

    OSHA is requesting to retain its previous approved burden hour 
estimate of one (1) hour contained in the standard on Aerial Lifts (29 
CFR 1926.453). There are no program changes or adjustments associated 
with the information collection requirement in the standard. The agency 
has correspondingly adjusted the per response time burden to maintain a 
burden as close as is possible to the actual time of no hours (1 hour).
    OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this 
notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to extend 
the approval of the information collection requirements.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
