Approved
consistent with changes in DOL memos of 1-11-99, 1-28-99 and
2-2-99. In addition, 14483 hours have been added to the burden to
reflect an adjustment to the training and contrctor notification
provisions. The following conditions also apply: 1. The burden
hours for creating machine specific procedures are not included.
This is based upon the DOL contention that firms will not be cited
if they have generic site procedures rather than machine specific
procedures. 2. The DOL estimate of employees covered by the
standard is also accepted but OSHA shall examine the question of
whether employers with lockout/tagout procedures had to take any
actions required by the standard upon promulgation of the standard
in its lookback review of this regulation. DOL will report on this
in its next submission of this ICR.
