pdfSUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR
THE INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS OF
THE STANDARD ON LONGSHORING (29 CFR PART 1918)
AND MARINE TERMINAL OPERATIONS (29 CFR PART 1917) 1
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET (OMB)
CONTROL NO. 1218-0196 (February 2009)
JUSTIFICATION
1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary. Identify any legal or
administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a copy of the appropriate section of each
statute and regulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information.
The main purpose of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSH Act”) is to “assure so far as
possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and
to preserve our human resources” (29 U.S.C. 651). To achieve this objective, the OSH Act
specifically authorizes “the development and promulgation of occupational safety and health
standards” (29 U.S.C 651).
Section 6(b)(7) of the OSH Act states that “[a]ny standard promulgated under this subsection
shall prescribe the use of labels or other appropriate forms of warning as are necessary to insure
that employees are apprised of all hazards to which they are exposed, relevant symptoms and
appropriate emergency treatment, and proper conditions and precautions of safe use or exposure”
(29 U.S.C. 655). The OSH Act also specifies that “[e]ach employer shall make, keep and
preserve, and make available to the Secretary . . . such records . . . as the Secretary . . . may
prescribe by regulation as necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of this Act . . .” (29
U.S.C. 657).
Under the authority granted by the OSH Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(“OSHA” or “the Agency”) published standards on Marine Terminals (29 CFR part 1917) and
Longshoring (29 CFR part 1918). The Standards contain requirements related to the testing,
certification and marking of specific types of cargo lifting appliances and associated cargo
handling gear and other cargo handling equipment such as conveyors and industrial trucks. The
collections of information required from employers by OSHA are necessary to reduce employee
injuries and fatalities associated with cargo lifting gear, transfer of vehicular cargo, manual cargo
handling, and exposure to hazardous atmospheres. Item 12 below describes the specific
information collection requirements of the Standards.
2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. Except for a new collection,
indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the current collection.
1
The purpose of this Supporting Statement is to analyze and describe the burden hours and costs associated
with provisions of the Standards that contain paperwork requirements; this Supporting Statement does not provide
information or guidance on how to comply with, or how to enforce, the Standards.
The collections of information required by the Standards are used by employers to ensure that
employees are informed properly about the safety and health hazards associated with marine
terminal operations and longshoring. OSHA uses the records developed in response to the
collection of information requirements to find out if the employer is complying adequately with
the provisions of the standards.
3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use of automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses, and the basis for the decision for adopting this means of
collection. Also, describe any consideration of using information technology to reduce burdens.
Employers may use automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques, or other forms of information technology (e.g., electronic submission of responses),
when establishing and maintaining the required records. The Agency wrote the paperwork
requirements of the standards in performance-oriented language, i.e., in terms of what data to
collect, not how to record the data.
4. Describe efforts to identify duplication. Show specifically why any similar information already available
cannot be used or modified for use for the purposes described in Item 2 above.
OSHA coordinated the preparation of its standards, including the information collection
requirements, with appropriate individuals from other Federal OSHA programs, state OSHA
programs, and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) to avoid duplication of effort. OSHA reviewed
standards addressing similar operations in industries regulated by other parts of title 29 (i.e., part
1910 for general industry and part 1926 for the construction industry) to ensure that there was no
duplication of effort.
5. If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities, describe any methods used
to minimize burden.
The information collection requirements of the Standards on Longshoring and Marine Terminal
Operations do not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
6. Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is not conducted or is
conducted less frequently, as well as any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.
The frequencies for collecting information under these requirements are the necessary
minimums. The Agency believes that failure of the employer to collect and distribute the
information required by the information collection requirements in the regulations will affect
significantly the cooperative effort between OSHA and the employer to ensure employee safety
through controlling or reducing injuries and fatalities in marine terminal operations and
longshoring. Any Federal program or policy activities or decisions that would reduce or
eliminate the collections of information required in these standards would also affect OSHA's
efforts to ensure employee safety and health in the workplace.
7. Explain any special circumstances that would cause an information collection to be conducted in a manner:
2
•
requiring respondents to report information to the agency more often than quarterly;
•
requiring respondents to prepare a written response to a collection of information in fewer than 30
days after receipt of it;
•
requiring respondents to submit more than an original and two copies of any document;
•
requiring respondents to retain records, other than health, medical, government contract, grant-inaid, or tax records for more than three years;
•
in connection with a statistical survey, that is not designed to produce valid and reliable results that
can be generalized to the universe of study;
•
requiring the use of a statistical data classification that has not been reviewed and approved by
OMB;
•
that includes a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by authority established in statute or
regulation, that is not supported by disclosure and data security policies that are consistent with the
pledge, or which unnecessarily impedes sharing of data with other agencies for compatible
confidential use; or
•
requiring respondents to submit proprietary trade secret, or other confidential information unless
the agency can demonstrate that it has instituted procedures to protect the information's
confidentiality to the extent permitted by law.
No special circumstances exist that require employers to collect information in the manner or
using the procedures specified by this item. The information collection requirements are
consistent with the guidelines provided in 5 CFR 1320.5.
8. If applicable, provide a copy and identify the date and page number of publication in the Federal Register
of the agency's notice, required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on the information collection before
submission to OMB. Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe actions
taken by the agency in response to those comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour
burden.
Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their views on the availability of data,
frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions and recordkeeping, disclosed, or reported.
Consultation with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must
compile records should occur at least once every three years -- even if the collection of information activity is
the same as in prior periods. There may be circumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific
situation. These circumstances should be explained.
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), OSHA
published a notice in the Federal Register on December 8, 2008 (73 FR 74527, Docket No.
OSHA-2008-0050) requesting public comment on its proposal to extend the Office of
Management and Budget’s approval of the information collection requirements specified by the
Standards on Longshoring (29 CFR part 1918) and Marine Terminal Operations (29 CFR part
1917). This notice was part of a preclearance consultation program that provided the general
3
public and government agencies with an opportunity to comment. The Agency received no
comments in response to its notice.
9. Explain any decision to provide any payment or gift to respondents, other than renumeration of
contractors or grantees.
The Agency will not provide payments or gifts to the respondents.
10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for the assurance in
statute, regulation, or agency policy.
No elements of confidentiality are involved.
11. Provide additional justification for any questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and
attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. This justification should
include the reasons why the Agency considers the questions necessary, the specific uses to be made of the
information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom the information is requested, and any steps to
be taken to obtain their consent.
None of the provisions in the regulations require sensitive information.
12. Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information. The statement should:
•
Indicate the number of respondents, frequency of response, annual hour burden, and an explanation
of how the burden was estimated. Unless directed to do so, agencies should not conduct special
surveys to obtain information on which to base hour burden estimates. Consultation with a sample
(fewer than 10) of potential respondents is desirable. If the hour burden on respondents is expected
to vary widely because of differences in activity, size, or complexity, show the range of estimated hour
burden, and explain the reasons for the variance. Generally, estimates should not include burden
hours for customary and usual business practices.
•
If this request for approval covers more than one form, provide separate hour burden estimates for
each form.
•
Provide estimates of annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens for collections of
information, identifying and using appropriate wage rate categories. The cost of contracting out or
paying outside parties for information collection activities should not be included here. Instead, this
cost should be included in Item 14.
Burden Hour and Cost Determinations
OSHA's estimates of the burden hours for each information collection requirement are shown
below. The estimates are based on data from OSHA's Office of Regulatory Assessment’s (ORA)
Final Economic Analysis (FEA) for the Longshoring and Marine Terminal Standards, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS), and staff expertise.
In the FEA, OSHA referenced both a U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) study that
estimated that there were a total of 3,700 marine cargo handling establishments, and a Bureau of
Census report that estimated that 746 of these establishments were classified under Standard
4
Industrial Classification (SIC 4491) (Marine Cargo Handling) (246 in marine terminals and 500
in Longshoring).
The MARAD study included land-side establishments that may be geographically located on
marine terminals but whose economic product or mission is not a marine transport function. The
definition of a “marine terminal” as provided in the Longshoring and Marine Terminals final rule
(62 FR 40146) establishes a functional test (not a geographic test) to address the primary
movement of cargo. It was determined in the rulemaking that a “marine terminal” does not
include production or manufacturing areas having their own docking facilities and located at a
marine terminal, nor does the term include marine terminal facilities directly associated with
those production or manufacturing areas (62 FR 40196).
OSHA realizes that new establishments must be taken into consideration, but has no specific
knowledge of the number of new marine terminal operations or stevedoring companies
established annually. OSHA has determined that the marine cargo handling industry is generally
one of little or no growth. The industry has continued towards automation since the advent of
containerization, which has caused a consolidation of stevedoring companies, generally reducing
the number of establishments. Waterfront property, necessary for marine terminal operations is
finite, with many new facilities coming from the extension of existing facilities or from filling in
marginal use land adjacent to the water. OSHA believes that, on average, a net gain of two new
establishments involved in marine terminal operations (one under part 1917 and one under part
1918) will start up in the 3 years covered by this information collection request. This number is
based on staff knowledge of the marine cargo handling industry. As a result of this being the
second ICR renewal request, the Agency estimates that there are currently 248 establishments
(247 existing and 1 new) covered under marine terminals and 502 (501 existing and 1 new)
covered under longshoring.
Consequently, the hazards associated with these production or manufacturing establishments
would not be covered by OSHA’s Marine Terminal or Longshoring standards, but would more
appropriately be covered by OSHA’s General Industry standards (29 CFR part 1910). As a
result, the Agency is using the approximate figure of 750 establishments (248 under part 1917
and 502 under part 1918) to estimate the impact of the information collection requirements in the
marine cargo handling industries.
Many of the requirements in 29 CFR part 1918 have been in existence as Federal requirements
for 30 years or more and are the result of international agreements required under the Longshore
and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (33 U.S.C. 901 et seq.). These requirements have
become usual and customary practices, especially where labor-management contracts exist.
OSHA has identified a number of requirements in the 1917 and 1918 standards that are subject
to approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The following tables provide
a listing of each information collection requirement and the estimated burden hours associated
with the requirement.
5
OSHA is presenting the burden for 100% compliance even though many of these collections are
one-time collections, such as posting signs, charts, etc. Thus, the burdens were completed years
ago, maybe as many as over 30 years ago. For those collections that OSHA assumes as one-time
events, OSHA is reflecting no burden. Of course, collections which recur on an annual basis
will be calculated on that basis. OSHA has also indicated, where appropriate, a burden for
information that may become lost, damaged, or otherwise in need of replacement during the
period covered by this approval. All estimates are based on staff expertise.
In addition, the Agency uses the following wage rates 2 in making the cost determinations for this
Information Collection Request:
· First-Line Supervisor/Manager
· Tank Car, Truck, and Ship Loader
· Secretary
$36.98
$28.69
$22.06
13. Provide an estimate of the total annual cost burden to respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the
collection of information. (Do not include the cost of any hour burden shown in Items 12 and 14.)
•
The cost estimate should be split into two components: (a) a total capital and start-up cost
component (annualized over its expected useful life); and (b) a total operation and maintenance and
purchase of services component. The estimates should take into account costs associated with
generating, maintaining, and disclosing or providing the information. Include descriptions of
methods used to estimate major cost factors including system and technology acquisition, expected
useful life of capital equipment, the discount rate(s), and the time period over which costs will be
incurred. Capital and start-up costs include, among other items, preparations for collecting
information such as purchasing computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling and testing
equipment; and record storage facilities.
•
If cost estimates are expected to vary widely, agencies should present ranges of cost burdens and
explain the reasons for the variance. The cost of purchasing or contracting out information collection
services should be a part of this cost burden estimate. In developing cost burden estimates, agencies
may consult with a sample of respondents (fewer than 10), utilize the 60-day pre-OMB submission
public comment process and use existing economic or regulatory impact analysis associated with the
rulemaking containing the information collection, as appropriate.
•
Generally, estimates should not include purchases of equipment or services, or portions thereof,
made: (1) prior to October 1, 1995, (2) to achieve regulatory compliance with requirements not
associated with the information collection, (3) for reasons other than to provide information or keep
records for the government, or (4) as part of customary and usual business or private practices.
The cost determinations made under Item 12 account for the total annual cost burden to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting from these collection of information requirements.

May 2007 National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates for employees under
NAICS 483000 - Water Transportation, U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Wage rates include
fringe benefits of 29.4 percent.
6
14. Provide estimates of annualized cost to the Federal Government. Also, provide a description of the
method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of hours, operational expenses (such as
equipment, overhead, printing, and support staff), and any other expense that would not have been incurred
without this collection of information. Agencies also may aggregate cost estimates from Items 12, 13, and 14
in a single table.
OSHA estimates that a compliance officer (GS-12, step 5), with an hourly wage rate of $39.70,
spends about 15 minutes (.25 hour) during an inspection reviewing the documents required by
the Standards. The Agency determines that its compliance officers will inspect about 11
facilities regulated by the Standards during each year covered by this ICR. 3 OSHA considers
other expenses, such as equipment, overhead, and support staff salaries, to be normal operating
expenses that would occur without the paperwork requirements specified by the Standards.
Therefore, the total cost of these paperwork requirements to the Federal government is:
Cost: 11 inspections x .25 hour x $39.70 = $109
15. Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments.
There are no program changes or adjustments associated with this information collection request.
Tables 1 and 2 below provide the burden hours and cost for each collection of information.
16. For collections of information whose results will be published, outline plans for tabulation, and
publication. Address any complex analytical techniques that will be used. Provide the time schedule for the
entire project, including beginning and ending dates of the collection information, completion of report,
publication dates, and other actions.
OSHA will not publish the information collected under the Standards.
17. If seeking approval to not display the expiration date for OMB approval of the information collection,
explain the reasons that display would be inappropriate.
No forms are available for the Agency to display the expiration date.
18. Explain each exception to the certification statement in ROCIS.
OSHA is not seeking an exception to the certification statement in ROCIS.
3
The Agency estimated the number of inspections by determining the inspection rate (1.4%) for all facilities
under the jurisdiction of the OSH Act (including both Federal OSHA and approved state-plan agencies) and then
multiplying the total number of facilities covered by the Standard (i.e., 750 x 1.4% = 11 inspections).
