The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease in the burden hours associated with the
Crawler, Locomotive, and Truck Cranes Standard (29 CFR 1910.180)
from 174,062 burden hours to 30,452 hours (a total adjustment
decrease of 143,610 burden hours). The decrease occurred when more
recent data showed that there were fewer cranes used in general
industry than estimated in the previous Information Collection
Request. According to the Preliminary Economic Analysis for the
proposed rule on Cranes and Derricks in Construction (73 FR 59714),
there are 34,994 cranes operating in the general industry sector
annually. OSHA estimates that, at most, 10% of these cranes (3,499)
are crawler, locomotive, and truck cranes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
