Terms of Clearance: WE ARE FILING THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ON THESE PROPOSED COLLECTIONS of information. First, the practical utility of requiring written plans for every workplace covered, regardless of the complexity, frequency, number of employees affected, or variation in lockout/ tagout procedures, has not been demonstrated. In the final rule, the agency shall examine more fully the specific circumstances in which written plans have utility, and shall explain why less burdensome alternatives to written plans, such as oral communication in small businesses, would not be protective. Second, the data elements to be included in the written plan shall be justified individually, and any data elements that are not fully justified as yielding safety and health benefits shall be deleted from the written plan. Third, the utility of the requirement for labeling for energy isolating devices h not been demonstrated. In the final rule, the agency shall document t the safety and health benefit of this requirement, and shall discuss a alternatives in the record which were not accepted. specifically, the agency shall examine the option of work permit systems, which a commenter to the paperwork record has stated would increase protection and reduce paperwork.
