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 (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 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)(ii)(j)) so
as to be readily accessible for
inspection. . . .’’ In addition, this
paragraph 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)
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
73877
(‘‘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.
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.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB
approves the revision of the collection
of information (paperwork)
requirements contained in the
Anhydrous Ammonia Storage and
Handling Standard. There is a change of
six burden hours (336 to 342) for
documentation by a professional
engineer for the safety of the equipment
being used in this ICR request.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Anhydrous Ammonia Storage
and Handling Standard.
OMB Number: 1218–0208.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; farms.
Number of Respondents: 207,100.
Number of Responses: 2,059.

2022, recognizing the value that
FedRAMP has provided to Federal
agencies and to industry, Congress
established FedRAMP in statute through
the FedRAMP Authorization Act (‘‘the
Act’’), 44 U.S.C. 3607–3616, as a
program of the General Services
Administration (GSA) that is overseen
by a Board consisting of technology
leaders drawn from Federal agencies.
The Act further provides for OMB to
issue guidance to define the categories
of cloud products and services within
the scope of the FedRAMP program and
to describe additional responsibilities of
the FedRAMP Program Management
Office (PMO) and Board beyond those
assigned by the Act. OMB also has a
general responsibility under the Act to
oversee the effectiveness of FedRAMP
and to encourage consistency in
agencies’ adoption and use of secure
cloud services.
The proposed memorandum would
support the Biden-Harris
Administration’s goals for modernizing
Federal information technology and has
been prepared by the Office of
Management and Budget in consultation
with key stakeholders.
