INFORMATION. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

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. Manufacturer’s Certification of
Modifications (§ 1910.67(b)(2)). The
Standard requires that when aerial lifts
are ‘‘field modified’’ for uses other than
those intended by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer or other equivalent entity,
such as a nationally recognized testing
laboratory, must certify in writing that
the modification is in conformity with
all applicable provisions of ANSI
A92.2–1969 and the OSHA standard
and that the modified aerial lift is at
least as safe as the equipment was
before modification. Employers are to
maintain the certification record and
make it available to OSHA compliance
officers upon request. This record
provides assurance to employers,
workers, and compliance officers that
the modified aerial lift is safe for use,
thereby preventing failure while
workers are being elevated. The
PO 00000
Frm 00115
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
certification record also provides the
most efficient means for the compliance
officers 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, and
transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in
Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating
Work Platforms (Aerial Lifts). There are
no adjustment or program changes
associated with this package. OSHA is
requesting that the burden hours remain
the same.
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: Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and
Rotating Work Platforms (Aerial Lifts).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0230.
