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

E:\FR\FM\05FEN1.SGM

05FEN1

rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 5, 2008 / Notices
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).
The Standard specifies a number of
paperwork requirements. The following
sections describe who uses the
information collected under each
requirement as well as how they use it.
The purpose of the requirements is to
reduce employees’ risk of death or
serious injury while working in grain
handling facilities.
Paragraph (d) of the Standard requires
the employer to develop and implement
an emergency action plan so that
employees will be aware of the
appropriate actions to take in the event
of an emergency.
Paragraph (e)(1) requires that
employers provide training to
employees at least annually and when
changes in job assignment will expose
them to new hazards.
Paragraph (f)(1) requires the employer
to issue a permit for all hot work. Under
paragraph (f)(2) the permit shall certify
that the requirements contained in
1910.272(a) have been implemented
prior to beginning the hot work
operations and shall be kept on file until
completion of the hot work operation.
Paragraph (g)(1)(i) requires the
employer to issue a permit for entering
bins, silos, or tanks unless the employer
or the employer’s representative is
present during the entire operation. The
permit shall certify that the precautions
contained in paragraph (g) have been
implemented prior to employees
entering bins, silos or tanks and shall be
kept on file until completion of the
entry operations.
Paragraph (g)(1)(ii) requires that the
employer deenergize, disconnect,
lockout and tag, block-off or otherwise
prevent operation of all mechanical,
electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic
equipment which presents a danger to
employees inside grain storage
structures.
Paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) require the
employer to inform contractors
performing work at the grain handling
facility of known potential fire and
explosion hazards related to the
contractor’s work and work area and to
explain to the contractor the applicable
provisions of the emergency action plan.

Paragraph (j)(1) requires the employer
to develop and implement a written
housekeeping program that establishes
the frequency and method(s)
determined best to reduce
accumulations of fugitive grain dust on
ledges, floors, equipment, and other
exposed surfaces.
Under paragraph (m)(1), the employer
is required to implement preventive
maintenance procedures consisting of
regularly scheduled inspections of at
least the mechanical and safety control
equipment associated with dryers, grain
stream processing equipment, dust
collection equipment including filter
collectors, and bucket elevators.
Paragraph (m)(3) requires a certification
be maintained of each inspection.
Paragraph (m)(4) requires the employer
to implement procedures for the use of
tags and locks which will prevent the
inadvertent application of energy or
motion to equipment being repaired,
serviced, or adjusted.
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 Grain Handling Facilities
(29 CFR 1910.272). The Agency is
requesting to reduce its current burden
hour estimate associated with this
Standard from 73,572 hours to 70,355
hours for a total reduction of 3,217
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: Grain Handling Facilities
Standard (29 CFR 1910.272).
OMB Number: 1218–0206.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

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).
The Subpart contains a number of
paperwork requirements. The following
paragraphs describe these requirements.
Section 1910.401(b). Allows
employers to deviate from the
requirements of the Subpart to the
extent necessary to prevent or minimize
a situation that is likely to cause death,
serious physical harm, or major
environmental damage (but not
situations in which purely economic or
property damage is likely to occur).
They must notify the OSHA Area
Director within 48 hours of taking such
action; this notification must describe
the situation responsible for the
deviation and the extent of the deviation
from the requirements. On request of the
Area Director, employers must submit
this information in writing.
Sections 1910.410(a)(3) and (a)(4).
Paragraph (a)(3) requires employers to
train all dive team members in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first
aid (i.e., the American Red Cross
standard course or equivalent), while
paragraph (a)(4) specifies that employers
train dive team members exposed to
hyperbaric conditions, or who control
exposure of other employees to such
conditions, in diving-related physics
and physiology.
Sections 1910.420(a). Under
paragraph (a), employers must develop
and maintain a safe practices manual
and make it available to each dive team
member at the dive location. In
addition, for each diving mode used at
the dive location, the manual must
contain: Safety procedures and
checklists for diving operations;
assignments and responsibilities of the
dive team members; equipment
procedures and checklists; and
emergency procedures for fire,
equipment failures, adverse
environmental conditions, and medical
illness and injury.
Section 1910.421(b). Under this
provision, employers are to keep at the
dive location a list of telephone or call
numbers for the following emergency
facilities and services: An operational
decompression chamber (if such a
chamber is not at the dive location);
accessible hospitals; available
physicians and means of emergency
transportation; and the nearest U.S.
Coast Guard Rescue Coordination
Center.
Section 1910.421(f). Requires
employers to brief dive team members
