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 OSHA to 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 collections of information
contained in the Mechanical Power

Presses Standard for General Industry
are necessary to reduce workers’ risk of
death or serious injury by ensuring that
employers maintain the mechanical
power presses used by the workers in
safe operating condition.
The following section describes who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it.
Section 1910.217(e)(1)(i)
Paragraph (e)(1)(i) requires employers
to establish and follow a program of
periodic and regular inspections of
power presses to ensure that all their
parts, auxiliary equipment, and
safeguards are in safe operating
condition and adjustment. Employers
must maintain a certification record of
inspections that includes the date of
inspection, the signature of the person
who performed the inspection, and the
serial number, or other identifiers, of the
power press that was inspected.
Section 1910.217(e)(1)(ii)
Paragraph (e)(1)(ii) requires employers
to inspect and test each press no less
than weekly to determine the condition
of the clutch/brake mechanism,
antirepeat feature, and single-stroke
mechanism. Employers must perform
and complete necessary maintenance or
repair or both before the press is
operated. In addition, employers must
maintain a record of inspections, tests,
and maintenance work. The record must
include the date of the inspection, test,
or maintenance; the signature of the
person who performed the inspection,
test, or maintenance; and the serial
number, or other identifiers, of the press
that was inspected, tested, or
maintained.

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 specified in the
Mechanical Power Presses Standard for
General Industry (29 CFR
1910.217(e)(1). OSHA is requesting an
adjustment decrease in the number of
burden hours from 1,373,054 hours to
651,691 hours, a total decrease of
721,363 hours. The decrease is based on
a determination that it is usual and
customary for employers to conduct
maintenance and repair activities and to
document such activities. 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: Mechanical Power Presses (29
CFR 1910.217(e)(1)).
OMB Number: 1218–0229.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 295,000.
