SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
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 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporint 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 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C.
651 et seq.) authorizes information
collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for its enforcement 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
busineses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).

The general industry PPE standards
(29 CFR part 1910, subpart I) include
several paperwork requirements.1 The
following Describe the information
collection requirements:
Hazard Assessment and Verification
(29 CFR 1910.132(d)). Paragraph (d)(1)
requires that the employer assess work
activities to determine whether there are
hazards present, or likely to be present,
which necessitate the employee’s use of
PPE. If such hazards are present, or
likely to be present, the employer must
communicate selection decisions to
affected employees and verify that the
required occupational hazard
assessment has been performed.
Paragraph (d)(2) requires that the
verification document, which must be
identified as a certification of hazard
assessment, must contain the following
information: occupation, the date(s) of
the hazard assessment, and the name of
the person performing the hazard
assessment.2
The hazard assessment assures that
potential workplace hazards
necessitating PPE use have been
identified and that the PPE selected is
appropriate for those hazards and the
affected employees. The required
certification of the hazard assessment
verifies that the required hazard
assessment was conducted.
Training and Verification (29 CFR
1910.132(f)). Paragraph (f) requires that
employers provide training for each
employee who is required to wear PPE.
Paragraph (f)(3) requires that employers
also provide retraining when there is
reason to believe that any previously
trained employee does not have the
understanding and skill to use PPE
properly. Circumstances where such
retraining is required include changes in
the workplace or in the types of PPE
used that render prior training obsolete,
and inadequacies in the employee’s
knowledge or use of PPE that indicate
the employee had not retained the
requisite understanding and skill.
Paragraph (f)(4) requires that
employers certify that employees have
received and understood the PPE
training required in § 1910.132(f). The
training certification must include the
name of the employee(s) trained, the
1 The Information Collection Request (ICR) does
not include burden hours and costs associated with
the information collection requirements in the
standards on respiratory Protection (29 CFR
1910.134) and Electrical Protective Equipment (29
CFR 1910.137), both of which have been addressed
in separate Information collection Requests (ICRs).
See OMB Control Nos. 1218–0099 and 1218–0190,
respectively.
2 Paragraph (g) of § 1910.132 specifies that the
section’s hazard assessment (paragraph (d)) and
training (paragraph (f)) requirements only apply to
PPE for the eyes and face, head, feet and hands.

date of training, and the subject of the
certification (i.e., a statement identifying
the document as a certification of
training in the use of PPE).
The training certification verifies that
employees have received the necessary
training and know how to properly use
PPE. OSHA compliance officers may
require employers to disclose the
certification records during an Agency
inspection.
The part 1910 standards on PPE
protection for the eyes and face
(§ 1910.133), head (§ 1910.135), feet
(§ 1910.136), and hands (§ 1910.138) do
not contain any separate information
collection requirements.
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 requiring OMB to extend
their approval of the collection of
information requirements contained in
the general industry PPE standards. The
Agency is requesting an increase in
burden hours for the existing collection
of information requirements from
3,169,344 to 3,953,759 (a total increase
of 784,415 hours). The Agency will
summarize the comments submitted in
response to this notice, and will include
this summary in its request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved information
collection requirement.
Title: Personnel Protective Equipment
(PPE) Standards for General Industry (29
CFR part, 1910, subpart I).
OMB Number: 1218–0205.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Federal Governments; State,
local or tribal government; Not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents: 3,400,000.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from one minute (.02 hour) to maintain
a training certification record to 29
hours to perform a hazard assessment.

Issuance of Amendments to Facility
Operating Licenses
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 275 to Facility
Operating License No. DPR–66 and
Amendment No. 156 to Facility
Operating License No. NPF–73 issued to
FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company
(the licensee), which revised the
Technical Specifications (TSs) and
licenses for operation of the Beaver
Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and
2 (BVPS–1 and 2) located in Beaver
County, Pennsylvania. The amendments
are effective as of the date of issuance.
The amendments modified the TSs
and licenses to increase the maximum
authorized rated thermal power from
2689 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 2900
MWt for each unit. Additionally, the
amendments approved full
implementation of an alternative source
term in accordance with Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, Section
50.67, using the guidance in Regulatory
Guide 1.183, ‘‘Alternative Radiological
Source Terms for Evaluating Design
Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power
Plants.’’ The amendments also approved
deletion of the power range neutron-flux
high-negative rate trip, removal of the
boron injection tank boron
concentration and renaming the boron
injection flow path for BVPS–1, the
addition of a footnote to Table 3.3–3 for
BVPS–1, and correction of an
inconsistency regarding a referenced
permissive for BVPS–1.

The application for the amendment
complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s rules and regulations.
The Commission has made appropriate
findings as required by the Act and the
Commission’s rules and regulations in
