[Docket No. OSHA–2013–0021]

Revision of Approved Information
Collection (Paperwork) Requirements
for Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Approval; Cranes and Derricks
in Construction
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:

OSHA solicits public
comments concerning its proposal to
revise OMB’s approval of the
information collection requirements
contained in the Cranes and Derricks in
Construction Standard (29 CFR part
1926, Subpart CC). Employers and
workers use these requirements to help
ensure the safe operation of equipment
covered by the standard. In addition,
OSHA compliance safety and health
officers use the information to
determine, during an inspection,
whether employers are complying with
the requirements. In May 2013, OSHA
published a final rule that broadened
the exemption for digger derricks in the
Cranes and Derricks Standard in
Construction Subpart CC. As a result,
OSHA is revising the Cranes and
Derricks Standard in Construction
paperwork analysis by reducing the
number of entities that are required to
comply with these information
collection requirements.

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 accord 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).
The Cranes and Derricks standard’s
information collection requirements
impose a duty on employers to produce
and maintain records that implement
controls and take other measures to
protect workers from hazards related to
cranes and derricks used in
construction. Accordingly, construction
businesses with workers who operate or
work in the vicinity of cranes and
derricks must have, as applicable, the
following documents on file and
available at the job site: Equipment
ratings, employee training records,
written authorizations from qualified
individuals, and qualification program
audits. During an inspection, OSHA will
have access to the records to determine
compliance under conditions specified
by the standard. An employer’s failure
to generate and disclose the information
required in this standard will affect
significantly the Agency’s effort to
control and reduce injuries and fatalities
related to the use of cranes and derricks
in construction.
On May 29, 2013, OSHA published a
final rule expanding the existing diggerderrick exemption to include all digger
derricks used in construction work
subject to 29 CFR part 1926 subpart V.
OSHA revised the exemption in existing
29 CFR 1926.1400(c)(4) to include
within the exemption the phrase ‘‘any

E:\FR\FM\13SEN1.SGM

13SEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 178 / Friday, September 13, 2013 / Notices
other work subject to subpart V of 29
CFR part 1926’’ (78 FR 32110). Section
II. D, Paperwork Reduction Act, of the
final rule, stated:
This rule, which expands the diggerderrick exemption, does not require any
additional collection of information or alter
the substantive requirements detailed in the
2010 ICR. The only impact on the collection
of information will be a reduction in the
number of entities collecting information.
OMB did not require OSHA to submit a new
proposed ICR when OSHA issued the
proposed rule, and OSHA does not believe it
is necessary to submit a new ICR to OMB
now. OSHA will identify any reduction in
burden hours when it renews the ICR. OSHA
requested comment on this approach in the
proposed rulemaking describing the diggerderrick exemption, but received none.

OSHA has revised the ICR to exempt
digger derricks used in construction
work subject to 29 CFR part 1926
subpart V.

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
As a result of expanding the diggerderrick exemption to include all digger
derricks used in construction work
subject to 29 CFR part 1926 subpart V,
OSHA is requesting a program change
decrease of 35,715 hours, from 403,413
hours to 367,698 hours.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in its
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements contained in the Cranes
and Derricks Standard.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Cranes and Derricks in
Construction (29 CFR part 1926 Subpart
CC).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0261.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
