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

Frm 00068

Fmt 4703

by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
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 information collection
requirements, and their rationale,
contained in 29 CFR part 1926, subpart
Q Concrete and Masonry Construction
are listed below.
Paragraph (c)(2) of § 1926.701 requires
that signs and barriers be erected to
limit employee access to the posttensioning area during tensioning
operations. Paragraphs (a)(2), (j)(1), and
(j)(2) warn equipment operators not to
activate their equipment if another
employee enters the area to perform a
task (e.g., cleaning, inspecting,
maintenance, repairing), thereby
preventing serious injury or death.
Paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.703 requires
employers to make available, at the
jobsite, drawings or plans for: The jack
layout, formwork (including shoring
equipment), working decks, and
scaffolds, as well as any revisions to
these documents. Paragraph (a) of
§ 1926.705 requires employers engaged
in lift-slab operations to have specific
designs and plans detailing the lift-slab
operation. Drawings, plans and/or
designs are developed and kept
available at the jobsite as a usual and
customary business practice to be used
by the various contractors during
construction; therefore, OSHA assumes
there are no burden hours or costs
associated with preparing drawings,
plans, or designs and having them at the
jobsite.
Section 1926.705(b) requires that
jacks used for lifting operations be
marked to indicate their rated capacity.
Manufacturers of jacks rate the
equipment as a usual and customary
practice; therefore, OSHA assumes there
are no burden hours or costs to
employers for these marking
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

40338

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 24, 2007 / Notices

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 Concrete and Masonry
Construction (29 CFR part 1926, subpart
Q). The Agency is requesting to increase
its current burden hour estimate
associated with this Standard from
22,400 hours to 37,488 hours for a total
increase of 15,088 hours. The increase
results from increasing the number of
construction sites. 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: Concrete and Masonry
Construction (29 CFR 1926, Subpart Q).
OMB Number: 1218–0095.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 468,600.
Frequency: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Five
minutes (.08 hour) to post or place
warning signs, locks, or tags.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
37,488.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

ACTION: Notice of Insurance

AGENCY:

SUMMARY: This notice is issued in
accordance with 42 U.S.C.

PO 00000

2458c(b)(2)(B). Per statute, NASA is
required to publish the amount of
insurance required when a party to an
agreement between the Administration
and the party, made for the purpose of
developing new technology for an
experimental aerospace vehicle, has
requested indemnification. For the
demonstration launch of ATK’s new
suborbital ALV–X1 launch vehicle at
NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility,
carrying experimental aerospace vehicle
payloads, as defined in 42 U.S.C.
2458c(d)(3), scheduled for the 1st
quarter of Fiscal Year 2008, the
Administrator has determined the
maximum probable loss to be $15.4
million for Government property,
$180,000 for 3rd party property, and $9
million for 3rd party personnel. As a
condition for indemnification,
analogous to that required by the
Commercial Space Launch Act, ATK is
required to carry insurance to cover the
MPL. Per statute, conditional
indemnification may only be provided
upon ATK’s successful passage of a
NASA safety review, and certification of
adequate insurance coverage.
DATES: NASA may grant conditional
indemnification to ATK following the
successful passage of a safety review,
and certification of adequate insurance
coverage, unless, within fifteen (15)
days from the date of this published
notice, NASA receives written
objections including evidence and
argument that establish that
indemnification would not be consistent
with the requirements of 42 U.S.C.
2458c.
Objections relating to this
determination may be submitted to Mr.
Bruce Underwood, Chief, Advanced
Projects Office, NASA Wallops Flight
Facility, Wallops Island, VA 23337,
