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, 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 describes who
uses the information collection under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is that falls are a leading
cause of death for employees. According
to 2022 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
data, falls accounted for 395 of the 1,069
construction fatalities, and 700 of the
5,486 fatalities in all recorded
industries. The National Fall Safety
Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in
Construction raises fall hazard
awareness across the country in an
effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries.
The Stand-Down is the biggest safety
outreach event ever conducted by the
agency. OSHA has collaborated with
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
87897
countless industry leaders and
employers over the last eight years to
reach over 10 million workers during
Stand-Downs.
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, 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
National Fall Safety Stand-Down to
Prevent Falls in Construction (29 U.S.C.
669). The agency is requesting that the
burden of 750 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
currently approved collection.
