SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 (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
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 effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Standard specifies several
paperwork requirements. The following
sections describe who uses the
information collected under each
requirement, as well as how they use it.
The purpose of each of these
requirements is to prevent workers from
using unsafe cranes and ropes, thereby
reducing their risk of death or serious
injury caused by a crane or rope failure
during material handling.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 111 / Friday, June 9, 2023 / Notices
(A) Inspection of and Certification
Records for Cranes (§ 1910.180(d)(4),
(6))
Paragraph 1910.180(d) specifies that
employers must prepare a written
record to certify that the monthly
inspection of critical items in use on
cranes (such as brakes, crane hooks, and
ropes) has been performed. The
certification record must include the
inspection date, the signature of the
person who conducted the inspection,
and the serial number (or other
identifier) of the inspected crane.
Employers must keep the certificate
readily available. The certification
record provides employers, workers,
and OSHA compliance officers with
assurance that critical items on cranes
have been inspected, and that the
equipment is in good operating
condition so that the crane and rope
will not fail during material handling.
These records also enable OSHA to
determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard.
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 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.
(B) Rated Load Tests (§ 1910.180(e)(2))
III. Proposed Actions
This provision requires employers to
make available written reports of loadrating tests showing test procedures and
confirming the adequacy of repairs or
alterations, and to make readily
available any rerating test reports. These
reports inform the employer, workers,
and OSHA compliance officers of a
crane’s lifting limitations, and provide
information to crane operators to
prevent them from exceeding these
limits and thereby causing crane failure.
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Crawler, Locomotive, and
Truck Cranes. The agency is requesting
a burden hour adjustment decrease of
1,872 hours, from 30,511 hours to
28,639 hours. This decrease is due to
the decrease in operational cranes used
for general industry purposes.
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.
Title: Crawler, Locomotive, and Truck
Cranes Standard.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0221.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 3,399.
Number of Responses: 78,584.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
29,639.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
(C) Inspection and Certification Records
for Ropes (§ 1910.180(g)(1), (g)(2)(ii))
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
requires that certificates ‘‘be . . . kept
readily available.’’ The certification
records assure employers, workers, and
OSHA that the inspected ropes are in
good condition.
Paragraph (g)(1) requires employers to
thoroughly inspect any rope in use at
least once a month. The authorized
person conducting the inspection must
observe any deterioration resulting in
appreciable loss of original strength and
determine whether or not the condition
is hazardous. Before reusing a rope that
has not been used for at least a month
because the crane housing the rope is
shut down or in storage, paragraph
(g)(2)(ii) specifies that employers must
have an appointed or authorized person
inspect the rope for all types of
deterioration. Employers must prepare a
certification record for the inspections
required by paragraphs (g)(1) and
(g)(2)(ii). These certification records
must include the inspection date, the
signature of the person conducting the
inspection, and the identifier for the
inspected rope; paragraph (g)(1) states
that employers must keep the
certificates ‘‘on file where readily
available,’’ while paragraph (g)(2)(ii)
