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).
In the event an employee is injured
while operating a mechanical power
press, 29 CFR 1910.217(g) requires the
employer to provide information to
OSHA regarding the accident within 30
days of the accident. This information
includes the employer’s and employee’s
names, workplace address and location,
injury sustained, task being performed

VerDate Nov<24>2008

20:28 Mar 25, 2009

Jkt 217001

when the injury occurred, number of
operators required for the operation and
the number of operators provided with
controls and safeguards, cause of the
accident, type of clutch, safeguard(s),
and feeding method(s) used, and means
used to actuate the press stroke. OSHA’s
Directorate of Safety Standards
Programs (currently, the Directorate of
Standards and Guidance), or the State
agency administering a plan approved
by the Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health, collects
the information. These reports are a
source of up-to-date information on
power press machines. Particularly, this
information identifies the equipment
used and conditions associated with
these injuries.
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 Reports of Injuries to
Employees Operating Mechanical Power
Presses (29 CFR 1910.217(g)). OSHA is
proposing to decrease the existing
burden hour estimate for the collection
of information requirement specified by
the Provision from 16 hours to 13 hours,
for a total decrease of 3 hours. This
adjustment is a result of a decline in the
number of reports received by OSHA
annually.
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: Report of Injuries to Employees
Operating Mechanical Power Presses (29
CFR 1910.217(g)).
OMB Number: 1218–0070.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit organizations;

Number of Respondents: 38.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from five minutes (.08 hour) for a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
The United States is a Member State
of the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) and an active
member of the Standing Committee on
Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR). At
recent meetings of the SCCR, WIPO
facilitated discussions on the topic of
copyright limitations and exceptions,
including limitations and exceptions for
‘‘blind, visually impaired and other
reading-disabled persons.’’ 2 At its next
meeting (May 25–29, 2009), the SCCR
will continue to consider this topic,
among others, and will exchange
information and experiences in order to
deepen its collective understanding of
the issues. As part of the process, the
SCCR is looking to the copyright
limitations and exceptions that are
currently available for the benefit of the
blind, visually impaired and other
reading-disabled persons around the
world, and has invited Member States to
provide supplementary information
regarding their national laws and
experiences.
In preparation for the meeting, the
Copyright Office and the USPTO have
been gathering relevant information. To
date, the Copyright Office and USPTO
have participated in a series of informal
meetings and conference calls
(primarily with stakeholders from the
blind community, but also with
representatives of the library, book
publishing, software, motion picture,
and nonprofit sectors) in which
multiple specific issues have been
identified and a number of common
points have emerged.
On the basis of these preliminary
discussions, the Copyright Office and
the USPTO understand that blind and
other persons with disabilities in the
United States navigate many complex
challenges when it comes to accessing
copyrighted works. Common refrains
include delays in obtaining accessible
texts (with timeliness of accessible
materials a particular problem for
students at all levels), compatibility
problems between available formats and
the hardware devices employed by the
reader, and inconsistencies in the
quality and accuracy of the available,
reformatted works. At the international
level, the Copyright Office and the
USPTO were made aware of the existing
framework through which accessible
works move across borders (i.e. through
private agreement and interlibrary
