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 (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).
The ICR addresses the burden hours
associated with gathering information to
complete the OSHA 70 Form. The
OSHA 70 Form is used by applicants
seeking accreditation from OSHA to be
able to test or examine certain
equipment and material handling
devices as required under the maritime
regulations, part 1917 (Marine
Terminals), and part 1918
(Longshoring). The OSHA 70 Form
application for accreditation provides

PO 00000

Frm 00033

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

an easy means for companies to apply
for accreditation.
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 Gear Certification (29 CFR
part 1919). The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease in the number of
burden hours from 190 hours to 184
hours, a total decrease of 6 burden
hours. The decrease is based on updated
data on the number of OSHA 70 forms
submitted. 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: Gear Certification Standard (29
CFR part 1919); OSHA 70 Form.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0003.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 45.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion;
Monthly.
Total Responses: 6,357.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 1 minute (.02 hour) for an
employer to disclose the OSHA 70 Form
to an OSHA Compliance Officer during
an inspection to 45 minutes (.75 hour)
for a prospective accredited agency to
complete the form.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 184.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $2,878,090.
