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).
Paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), (c)(1), (c)(2),
and (c)(4) contain the paperwork
requirements of the Standard.
Under paragraph (b)(1) of the
Standard, employers must develop and
maintain an organizational statement
that establishes the: Existence of a fire
brigade; the basic organizational
structure of the brigade; type, amount,
and frequency of training provided to
brigade members; expected number of

pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 21, 2007 / Notices
members in the brigade; and functions
that the brigade is to perform. This
paragraph also specifies that the
organizational statement must be
available for review by employees, their
designated representatives, and OSHA
compliance officers. The organizational
statement delineates the functions
performed by the brigade members and,
therefore, determines the level of
training and type of personal protective
equipment (PPE) necessary for these
members to perform their assigned
functions safely. Making the statement
available to employees, their designated
representatives, and OSHA compliance
officers ensures that the elements of the
statement are consistent with the
functions performed by the brigade
members and the occupational hazards
they experience, and that employers are
providing training and PPE appropriate
to these functions and hazards.
To permit an employee with known
heart disease, epilepsy, or emphysema
to participate in fire-brigade emergency
activities, paragraph (b)(2) of the
Standard requires employers to obtain a
physician’s certificate of the employee’s
fitness to do so. This provision provides
employers with a direct and efficient
means of ascertaining whether or not
they can safely expose employees with
these medical conditions to the hazards
of fire-fighting operations.
Paragraph (c)(1) of the Standard
requires employers to provide training
and education for fire-brigade members
commensurate with the duties and
functions they perform, with brigade
leaders and training instructors
receiving more comprehensive training
and education than employers provide
to the general membership. Under
paragraph (c)(2) of the Standard,
employers must conduct training and
education frequently enough, but at
least annually, to assure that brigade
members are able to perform their
assigned duties and functions
satisfactorily and safely; employers
must provide brigade members who
perform interior structural fire fighting
with educational and training sessions
at least quarterly. In addition, paragraph
(c)(4) specifies that employers must:
Inform brigade members about special
hazards such as storage and use of
flammable liquids and gases, toxic
chemicals, radioactive sources, and
water-reactive substances that may be
present during fires and other
emergencies; advise brigade members of
changes in the special hazards; and
develop written procedures that
describe the actions brigade members
must take when special hazards are
present, and make these procedures
available in the education and training

Jkt 214001

program and for review by the brigade
members.
Providing appropriate training to
brigade members at the specified
frequencies, informing them about
special hazards, developing written
procedures on how to respond to special
hazards, and making these procedures
available for training purposes and
review by the members enables them to
use operational procedures and
equipment in a safe manner to avoid or
control dangerous exposures to fire
related hazards. Therefore, the training
and information requirements specified
by paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(4) of
the Standard prevent serious injuries
and death among members of fire
brigades.
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 Brigades (29 CFR
1910.156). The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease from 6,042 hours to
5,048 hours for a total decrease of 994
hours. The decrease is a result of
updated data estimating that the total
number of establishments requiring new
or revised organizational statements has
declined from 2,797 to 2,337; and that
the number of fire brigade members has
declined from 559,390 to 467,330. 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: Standard on Fire Brigades (29
CFR 1910.156).
OMB Number: 1218–0075.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 7,010.
Frequency: On occasion.
