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, 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 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the 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 efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Standard specifies several
paperwork requirements. The following

PO 00000

Frm 00104

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

sections describe who uses the
information collected under each
requirement, as well as how they use it.
Paragraph (e)(1)(i) of § 1910.217
requires employers to establish and
follow a program of periodic and regular
inspections of power presses to ensure
that all their parts, auxiliary equipment,
and safeguards are in safe operating
condition and adjustment. Employers
must maintain a certification record of
inspections that includes the date of
inspection, the signature of the person
who performed the inspection, and the
serial number, or other identifier, of the
power press that was inspected.
Paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of § 1910.217
requires employers to inspect and test
each press no less than weekly to
determine the condition of the clutch/
brake mechanism, antirepeat feature,
and single-stroke mechanism.
Employers must perform and complete
necessary maintenance or repair or both
before the press is operated. In addition,
employers must maintain a record of
inspections, tests, and maintenance
work. The record must include the date
of the inspection, test, or maintenance;
the signature of the person who
performed the inspection, test, or
maintenance; and the serial number, or
other identifier, of the press that was
inspected, tested, or maintained.
The certification records required in
29 CFR 1910.217(e)(1)(i) and (e)(1)(ii)
are necessary to ensure compliance with
the requirement to inspect mechanical
power presses. The inspection of
mechanical power presses is critical to
ensuring that employers maintain the
presses in safe operating condition for
employees. These records also provide
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, 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.
