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

PO 00000

Frm 00093

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

72411

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).
Subpart I specifies several paperwork
requirements which are described
below.
Hazard Assessment and Verification
(§ 1915.152(b)). Section 1915.152(b)
requires the employer to assess work
activities to determine whether there are
hazards present, or likely to be present,
which necessitate the worker’s use of
PPE. If such hazards are present, or
likely to be present, the employer must:
(1) Select the type of PPE that will
protect the affected workers from the
hazards identified in the occupational
hazard assessment; (2) communicate
selection decisions to affected workers;
(3) select PPE that properly fits each
affected worker; and (4) maintain
documentation that verifies the required
occupational hazard assessment has
been performed. The verification must
contain the following information:
occupation or trade assessed, the date(s)
of the hazard assessment, and the name
of the person performing the hazard
assessment.
The standards on PPE protection for
the eyes and face (§ 1915.153), head
(§ 1915.155), feet (§ 1915.156), hands
and body (§ 1915.157), lifesaving
equipment (§ 1915.158), personal fall
arrest systems (§ 1915.159), and
positioning device systems (§ 1915.160)
do not contain any separate information
collection requirements.
Disclosure of Inspection Records. The
Agency believes that some employers
will be subject to an OSHA inspection
annually and be required to disclose
hazard assessment certification records.
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

E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM

72412

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 5, 2012 / Notices

• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
