Preclearance Federal Register Notice (12-14-2007)

71162

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 240 / Friday, December 14, 2007 / Notices

Paragraph (j) also requires that air
quality records include specified
information, and that employers
maintain the records until the
underground construction project is
complete; they must also make the
records available to OSHA compliance
officers on request.
Maintaining records of air quality
tests allows employers to document
atmospheric hazards, and to ascertain
the effectiveness of controls (especially
ventilation) and implement additional
controls if necessary. Accordingly, these
requirements prevent serious injury and
death to employees who work on
underground construction projects. In
addition, these records provide an
efficient means for employees to
evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness
of an employer’s exposure reduction
program, and for OSHA compliance
officers to determine that employers
performed the required tests and
implemented appropriate controls.

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

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

with this Standard. 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

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
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
This program ensures that
information is in the desired format,

VerDate Aug<31>2005

15:31 Dec 13, 2007

Jkt 214001

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 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).
Two construction standards, ‘‘Medical
Services and First Aid’’ (§ 1926.50), and
‘‘General Requirements for Storage’’
(§ 1926.250), contain posting provisions.
Paragraph (f) of § 1926.50 requires
employers to post emergency telephone
numbers for physicians, hospitals, or
ambulances at the worksite if the 911
emergency telephone service is not
available; in the event an employee has
a serious injury at the worksite, this
posting requirement expedites
emergency medical treatment of the
employee. Paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.250
specifies that employers must post the
maximum safe load limits of floors
located in storage areas inside buildings
or other structures, unless the floors are
on grade. This provision prohibits
employers from overloading floors in
areas used to store material and
equipment in multi-story units that are
under construction, thereby preventing
the floors from collapsing and seriously
injuring employees.
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
two construction standards, ‘‘Medical
Services and First Aid’’ paragraph (f) of
§ 1926.50, and ‘‘General Requirements
for Storage’’ paragraph (a)(2) of
§ 1926.250. The Agency is requesting to
increase its current burden hour total
from 8,901 hours to 197,819, for a total
increase of 188,918 hours associated
with these two Standards. 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
currently approved information
collection requirements.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) is
providing notice of the issuance of
License Amendment 79 to Material
License No. SNM–124, to Nuclear Fuel
Services, Inc. (the licensee), to authorize
an increase in the possession limit for
uranium enriched up to 100 percent in
the uranium-235 isotope at the
licensee’s facility in Erwin, Tennessee.
The licensee’s request for the proposed
license amendment was previously
noticed in the Federal Register on
October 18, 2007 (72 FR 59117), with a
notice of an opportunity to request a
hearing.
This license amendment complies
with the standards and requirements of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as

regulations as set forth in 10 CFR
Chapter 1. Accordingly, this license
amendment was issued on November
23, 2007, and is effective immediately.

Evaluation Report (SER) that documents
the information that was reviewed and
NRC’s conclusion. In accordance with
10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC’s ‘‘Rules of
Practice,’’ details with respect to this
action, including the SER and
