Notice to LSC Grantees of Application Process for Making 2024 Mid-Year and 2025 Basic Field Grant Subgrants, 22181-22182 [2024-06711]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 62 / Friday, March 29, 2024 / Notices of PPE necessary.1 Where such hazards are present, employers must select and have each affected worker use PPE that protects them from the identified hazards (section 1910.132(d)(1)(i)), and communicate PPE selection decisions to each affected worker (section 1910.132(d)(1)(ii)). Paragraph 1910.132(d)(2) requires that employers certify in writing they have performed the required hazard assessment. The certification must include the date, the name of the person certifying that the hazard assessment was conducted, and identification of the workplace evaluated (area or location). The Personal Fall Protection standard expands the hazard assessment requirement to personal fall protection systems (section 1910.132(g)). Conducting a PPE hazard assessment ensures that potential workplace hazards necessitating PPE use have been identified and that the PPE selected is appropriate for those hazards and the affected workers. Communicating information on PPE selection decisions to affected workers ensures they are aware that the PPE selected will protect them from the hazards that the assessment identified. The certification of the hazard assessment verifies that employers have conducted the required assessment. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 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 extend the approval of the information collection requirements contained in the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry standard. The agency 1 Section 1910.132 (g) specifies that the hazard assessment (29 CFR 1910.132(d)) requirements only apply to PPE for the eyes, face, head, feet, and hands. The final rule revised (29 CFR 1910.132 (g)) to also apply the hazard assessment requirements to personal fall protection systems. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Mar 28, 2024 Jkt 262001 is requesting a decrease in burden hours from 3,778,003 to 3,683,262, a difference of 94,741 hours. The changes in the number of establishments using fall protection accounts for the net decrease in burden hours. 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: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry Standard. OMB Control Number: 1218–0205.
