Abstract: OSHA is making two main revisions to its Mechanical Power Presses Standard. First, OSHA is revising a provision that requires employers to develop and maintain certification records of periodic inspections performed on the presses by adding a requirement that they develop and maintain certification records of any maintenance and repairs they perform on the presses during the periodic inspections. Second, OSHA is removing the requirement from another provision that employers develop and maintain certification records of weekly inspections and tests performed on the presses.

Emergency Justfication: DOL published a direct final rule related to this ICR on November 20, 2013 (78 FR 69606) and an associated NPRM (78 FR 69606), in case the agency received a significant adverse comment on the final rule. On December 26, 2013, OSHA published a 60-day FRN for the ongoing information collections. For administrative purposes, in order to allow for a submission of an ICR that represents the entirety of the information collections subject to control number 1218-0229, DOL requests emergency clearance of the pending ICR.
