sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

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).
Section 1910.255(e) requires that a
periodic inspection of resistance
welding equipment be made by
qualified maintenance personnel, and
that a certification record be generated
and maintained. The certification shall
include the date of the inspection, the
signature of the person who performed
the inspection and the serial number, or
other identifier, for the equipment
inspected. The record shall be made
available to an OSHA inspector upon
request. The maintenance inspection
ensures that welding equipment is in
safe operating condition while the
maintenance record provides evidence
to employees and Agency compliance
officers that employers performed the
required inspections.1
1 The ICR does not account for the paperwork
burden associated with several provisions of the
standard either because manufacturers typically
provide the required information (i.e.,
§§ 1910.252(b)(2)(ii)(G), (c)(1)(i)(A), (c)(1)(i)(B),
(c)(1)(i)(C), 1910.253(b)(1)(ii), (d)(4)(ii), (d)(4)(iii),
(e)(6)(iii), (f)(1)(i), (g)(1)(ii), and 1910.254(b)(4)(iv));
the Agency believes that the paperwork

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Welding, Cutting and
Brazing (29 CFR part 1910, subpart Q).
The Agency is requesting to reduce its
current burden hour estimate associated
with this Standard from 6,588 to 5,994
hours for a total reduction of 594 hours.
The Agency will summarize the
comments submitted in response to this
notice and will include this summary in
the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Welding, Cutting and Brazing
(29 CFR part 1910, subpart Q).
OMB Number: 1218–0207.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 21,373.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time Per Response: Varies
from 1 minute (.02 hour) to maintain the
inspection certification record to 7
minutes (.12 hour) to perform the
inspection and to generate and maintain
the inspection certification record.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,994.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
IV. Public Participation—Submission of
Comments on This Notice and Internet
Access to Comments and Submissions
You may submit comments in
response to this document as follows:

requirement was a usual and customary business
practice among the industry prior to publication of
the standard (i.e., §§ 1910.252(a)(2)(xiii)(D),
(a)(2)(xiv)(D), 1910.253(b)(5)(iii)(G), (c)(3)(v), and
(f)(7)(i)(A)); or the Agency believes that the implied
training provisions are performance-oriented and,
therefore, not subject to PRA–95 (i.e.,
§§ 1910.252(a)(2)(xiii)(C) and 1910.253(a)(4)).

The Standard specifies a number of
collections of information (paperwork)
requirements. In general, the Standard
requires employers to develop a written
fire safety plan and written statements
or policies that contain information
about fire watches and fire response
duties and responsibilities. The
Standard also requires the employer to
obtain medical exams for certain
employees and to develop training
programs and to train employees
exposed to fire hazards. Additionally,
the Standard requires employers to
create and maintain records to certify
that employees have been made aware
of the details of the fire safety plan and
that employees have been trained as
required by 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
