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).

Sfmt 4703

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
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 requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Fire Protection in Shipyard
Employment (29 CFR 1915.501–
1915.509). The Agency is requesting to
reduce its current burden hour estimate
associated with this Standard from
5,344 to 4,635 hours for a total
reduction of 709 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: Fire Protection in Shipyard
Employment (29 CFR 1915.501-.509).
OMB Number: 1218–0248.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 317.
Frequency: On occasion; Quarterly;
Annually.
Average Time Per Response: Varies
from 5 minutes (.08 hour) for an
employer to post the fire safety plan or
to place it in an area accessible to
