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

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 63 / Wednesday, April 2, 2014 / Notices

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 Standard specifies several
information collection requirements.
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to control the release of
hazardous energy sources while workers
service, maintain, or repair machines or
equipment when activation, start up, or
release of energy from an energy source
is possible; proper control of hazardous
energy sources prevent death or serious
injury among these workers.
Energy Control Procedure (paragraph
(c)(4)(i)). With limited exception,
employers must document the
procedures used to isolate from its
energy source and render inoperative,
any machine or equipment prior to
servicing, maintenance, or repair by
workers. These procedures are
necessary when activation, start up, or
release of stored energy from the energy
source is possible, and such release
could cause injury to the workers.
Paragraph (c)(4)(ii) states that the
required documentation must clearly
and specifically outline the scope,
purpose, authorization, rules, and
techniques workers are to use to control
hazardous energy, and the means to
enforce compliance. The document
must include at least the following
elements:
(A) A specific statement regarding the
use of the procedure;
(B) Detailed procedural steps for
shutting down, isolating, blocking, and
securing machines or equipment to
control hazardous energy,
(C) Detailed procedural steps for
placing, removing, and transferring
lockout or tagout devices, including the
responsibility for doing so; and,
(D) Requirements for testing a
machine or equipment to determine and
verify the effectiveness of lockout or
tagout devices, as well as other energy
control measures.
Protective Materials and Hardware
(paragraphs (c)(5)(ii)(D) and (c)(5)(iii)).
Paragraph (C)(5)(ii)(D) requires that
lockout and tagout devices indicate the

VerDate Mar<15>2010

17:01 Apr 01, 2014

Jkt 232001

identity of the employee applying it.
Paragraph (c)(5)(iii) requires that tags
warn against hazardous conditions if the
machine or equipment is energized. In
addition, the tag must include a legend
such as one of the following: Do Not
Start; Do Not Open; Do Not Close; Do
Not Energize; Do Not Operate.
Periodic Inspection Certification
Records (paragraph (c)(6)(ii)). Under
paragraph (c)(6)(i), employers are to
conduct inspections of energy control
procedures at least annually. An
authorized worker (other than an
authorized worker using the energy
control procedure that is the subject of
the inspection) is to conduct the
inspection and correct any deviations or
inadequacies identified. For procedures
involving either lockout or tagout, the
inspection must include a review,
between the inspector and each
authorized worker, of that worker’s
responsibilities under the procedure; for
procedures using tagout systems, the
review also involves affected workers,
and includes an assessment of the
workers’ knowledge of the training
elements required for these systems.
Paragraph (c)(6)(ii) requires employers
to certify the inspection by documenting
the date of the inspection and
identifying the machine or equipment
inspected, the workers included in the
inspection, and the worker who
performed the inspection.
Training Certification Records
(paragraph (c)(7)(iv)). Under paragraph
(c)(7)(iv), employers are to certify that
workers completed the required
training, and that this training is up-todate. The certification is to contain each
worker’s name and the training date.
Written certification of the training
assures the employer that workers
receive the training specified by the
Standard.
Disclosure of Inspection and Training
Certification Records (paragraphs
(c)(6)(ii) and (c)(7)(iv)). Under these
provisions, employers subject to an
OSHA inspection are required to
disclose inspection and training
certification records to the OSHA
compliance officer.
Notification of Employees (paragraph
(c)(9)). This provision requires the
employer or authorized worker to notify
affected workers prior to applying, and
after removing, a lockout or tagout
device from a machine or equipment.
Off-Site Personnel (Contractors, etc.)
(paragraph (f)(2)(i)). When the on-site
employer uses an off-site employer (e.g.,
a contractor) to perform the activities
covered by the scope and application of
the Standard, the two employers must
inform each other regarding their
respective lockout or tagout procedures.

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 the Control of Hazardous
Energy (Lockout/Tagout) (29 CFR
1910.147). The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease in the number of
burden hours from 2,989,421 hours to
2,646,702 hours, a total decrease of
342,719 burden hours. In addition,
OSHA is requesting an adjustment
decrease of $216,410 in operation and
maintenance costs (from $1,642,831 to
$1,426,421) associated with the
purchase of tags and ties by employers.
These decreases are based on updated
data showing a decrease in the number
of affected high impact establishments.
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: Standard on the Control of
Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) (29
CFR 1910.147).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0150.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 730,706.
Frequency of Responses: Initially;
Annually; On occasion.
Total Responses: 72,337,270.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 15 seconds (.004 hour) for an
employer or authorized worker to notify
affected workers prior to applying, and
after removing, a lockout/tagout device
from a machine or equipment to 80
hours for certain employers to develop
energy control procedures.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
2,646,702.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $1,426,422.
