SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
implementing the assured equipment

[Docket No. OSHA–2011–0187]
I. Background
Electrical Standards for Construction
and General Industry; Extension of the
Office of Management and Budget’s
(OMB) Approval of Information
Collection (Paperwork) Requirements
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 following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to 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
forbidding unqualified persons from
entering; and, for construction
employers only, establishing and
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, and
transmission techniques.

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 following sections describe who uses the information collected
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of
these requirements is to 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 forbidding unqualified persons
from entering; and, for construction employers only, establishing and
implementing the assured equipment grounding conductor program instead
of using ground-fault circuit interrupters.
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, and
transmission techniques.
