collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,

information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.

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

Jkt 223001

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).
The Standard specifies a number of
collections of information (paperwork)
requirements. In general, the Standard
requires employers to develop a written
fire safety plan and written statements
or policies that contain information
about fire watches and fire response
duties and responsibilities. The
Standard also requires the employer to
obtain medical exams for certain
workers and to develop training
programs and to train employees
exposed to fire hazards. Additionally,
the Standard requires employers to
create and maintain records to certify
that employees have been made aware
of the details of the fire safety plan and
that employees have been trained as
required by the Standard.
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 Fire Protection in Shipyard
Employment (29 CFR 1915.501–.509).
The Agency is requesting that the
burden hours remain the same at 4,635
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: Fire Protection in Shipyard
Employment Standard (29 CFR
1915.501–.509).
OMB Number: 1218–0248.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 317.
Frequency: On occasion; Quarterly;
Annually.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 5 minutes (.08 hour) for an
employer to post the fire safety plan or
to place it in an area accessible to
employees to 12 hours for firms to
develop a written fire safety plan.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 4,635.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

I. Introduction
On January 5, 2011, the Postal Service
filed a notice, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
3641, announcing its intent to initiate a
market test beginning on or about May
1, 2011, of an experimental competitive
product, Gift Cards.1 The market
research test will provide customers the
ability to purchase a card loaded with
a specified sum of money which can be
sent as a gift through the mail. Id. at 1.
II. Background
The Postal Service states that gift
cards have become highly popular gifts
in recent years. A recent survey found
that gift cards are the most requested
holiday gift. Id. at 2. Citing a nexus
between the use of gift cards for gifting
and the use of the mails for sending gift
cards, the Postal Service asserts that
selling gift cards at Postal Service retail
locations will increase customer
convenience and enhance Postal Service
revenue by encouraging the use of the
mail. Id.
Description and nature of market test.
Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3641(c)(1)(B), the
Postal Service provides a description of
the nature and scope of the market test.
Under the proposed market test, the
Postal Service will test the sale of ‘‘open
loop cards.’’ These are cards branded by
a Retail Electronic Payments Network
(REPN) (e.g., American Express,
Discover, MasterCard, or Visa) and can
be used by the gift card recipient at any
merchant that accepts cards
administered by that network. Id. The
Postal Service will enter into an
agreement with one or more issuing
banks, REPNs or service providers.
Cards will be sold either as standard
cards by the supplier(s) or customized,
co-branded cards with Postal Service
imagery. Id. at 2. Open loop cards will
be tested with fixed and variable
amounts with minimum, incremental,
and maximum amounts. To protect
against fraud and money laundering,
there will be limits on the value of cards
purchased within certain timeframes.
Id. at 3.
The Postal Service will operate only
as a sales agent. Id. The card supplier
will provide all customer support. Id. at
2.
The Postal Service may test closed
loop cards (i.e., cards specific to a
particular merchant), but those plans
have not yet been established. Id. at 3.
At first, cards will only be available
at Postal Service retail windows. Cards
will neither be available at Automated
Postal Centers nor on the Internet at
