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, 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 OSH
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).

Paragraph (b)(1) requires that alloy
steel chains have permanently affixed
durable identification tags stating size,
grade, rated capacity and sling
manufacturer. Paragraph (b)(6)(i)
requires the employer to make a
thorough periodic inspection of alloy
steel chain slings in use on a regular
basis, but at least once a year. Paragraph
(b)(6)(ii) requires the employer to make
and maintain a record of the most recent
month in which each alloy steel chain
was inspected and make the record
available for examination.
Paragraph (c)(15)(ii) requires that all
welded end attachments of wire rope
slings be proof tested by the
manufacturer at twice their rated
capacity prior to initial use, and that the
employer retain a certificate of the proof
test and make it available for
examination.
Paragraphs (e)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii)
require that synthetic web slings be
marked or coded to show the
manufacturer’s name or trademark, the
rated capacity for the type of hitch and
the type of synthetic webbing material.
Paragraph (f)(2) requires that all hooks
for which no applicable manufacturer’s
recommendations are available be tested
twice before they are put into use. The
employer shall maintain a record of the
dates and results of the tests.
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 Rigging Equipment for
Material Handling (29 CFR 1926.251).
The Agency is requesting an adjustment
decrease of 4,520 burden hours (from
56,335 hours to 51,815 hours). This
decrease is a result of new data
indicating a drop in the number of
cranes and derricks from 132,737 to
122,091. The Agency will summarize
