In the
Federal Register of August 12, 2010 (75
FR 48992), the Agency announced its
request to OMB for approval of the
collections of information contained in
the OSHA Baseline Safety and Health
Practices Survey. This survey will
collect information about the safety and
health practices of private sector
establishments in agriculture (with 10 or
more workers) and nonagriculture
industries, as well as public sector
establishments in those states with
OSHA-approved safety and health
programs (State Plan States).
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), OMB approved the collections of
information contained in the Baseline
Safety Practices Survey, and assigned
these collections of information OMB
control number 1218–0263. This
approval expires on March 31, 2014. In
accordance with 5 CFR 1320.5(b), an
Agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person need not respond to, a
collection of information unless the
collection displays a valid OMB control
number.

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).
Paragraphs (b) and (c) of § 1926.652
(‘‘Requirements for Protective Systems’’;
the ‘‘Standard’’) contain paperwork
requirements that impose burden hours
or costs on employers. These paragraphs
require employers to use protective
systems to prevent cave-ins during
excavation work; these systems include
sloping the side of the trench, benching
the soil away from the excavation, or

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 6, 2011 / Notices

using a support system or shield (such
as a trench box). The Standard specifies
allowable configurations and slopes for
excavations, and provides appendices to
assist employers in designing protective
systems. However, paragraphs (b)(3) and
(b)(4) of the Standard permit employers
to design sloping or benching systems
based on tabulated data (Option 1), or to
use a design approved by a registered
professional engineer (Option 2).
Under Option 1, employers must
provide the tabulated data in a written
form that also identifies the registered
professional engineer who approved the
data and the parameters used to select
the sloping or benching system drawn
from the data, as well as the limitations
of the data (including the magnitude
and configuration of slopes determined
to be safe); the document must also
provide any explanatory information
necessary to select the correct benching
system based on the data. Option 2
requires employers to develop a written
design approved by a registered
professional engineer. The design
information must include the magnitude
and configuration of the slopes
determined to be safe, and the identity
of the registered professional engineer
who approved the design.
Paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3), and (c)(4)
allow employers to design support
systems, shield systems, and other
protective systems based on tabulated
data provided by a system manufacturer
(Option 3) or obtained from other
sources and approved by a registered
professional engineer (Option 4); they
can also use a design approved by a
registered professional engineer (Option
5). If they select Option 3, employers
must complete a written form that
provides the manufacturer’s
specifications, recommendations, and
limitations, as well as any deviations
approved by the manufacturer. The
paperwork requirements of Option 4 are
the same as for Option 1. Option 5
requires a written form that provides a
plan indicating the sizes, types, and
configurations of the materials used in
the protective system and the identity of
the registered professional engineer who
approved the design.
Each of these provisions requires
employers to maintain a copy of the
documents described in these options at
the jobsite during construction. After
construction is complete, employers
may store the documents off-site
provided they make them available to
an OSHA compliance officer on request.
These documents provide both the
employer and the compliance officer
with information needed to determine if
the selection and design of a protective
system are appropriate to the excavation

work, thereby assuring employees of
maximum protection against cave-ins.
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
The Agency is requesting that OMB
extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Excavations (Design of
Cave-in Protection Systems). OSHA is
requesting a decrease in burden hours
from 20,022 to 11,822 (a total decrease
of 8,200). This decrease is a result of a
decline in the number of residential
starts from 1.4 million to 706,000
annually. The Agency is also requesting
a decrease in cost from $815,400 to
$578,672 (a total decrease of $236,728)
as a result of the decline. The Agency
will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements contained in the Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Excavations (Design of Cave-in
Protection Systems) (29 CFR part 1926,
subpart P).
OMB Number: 1218–0137.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 11,800.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Total Responses: 11,800.
Average Time per Response: Two
hours to obtain information on the
design of cave-in protection systems.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 11,822
hours.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $578,672.
