if the employer is complying adequately

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

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

III. Proposed Actions

I. Background

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standards on Marine Terminals (29 CFR
part 1917) and Longshoring (29 CFR
part 1918). The Agency is requesting an
increase in its current burden hour
estimate from 47,398 hours to 65,694
hours, a difference of 18,296 hours. This
increase in the burden hours is due to
an increase in longshoring operations
from 808 to 871 establishments and an
increase in the number of
establishments in port and habor
operations from 212 to 525. The Agency
will summarize any comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in its request
to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collections.
Title: Marine Terminals (29 CFR part
1917) and Longshoring (29 CFR part
1918).
OMB Number: 1218–0196.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit organizations;
Federal Government; State, Local, or
Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 1,396.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from one minute (.02 hour) to 50 hours.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
65,694.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

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 Standards on Marine Terminals
and Longshoring contain a number of
collections of information which are
used by employers to ensure that
employees are informed properly about
the safety and health hazards associated
with marine terminals and longshoring
operations. OSHA uses the records
developed in response to the collection
of information requirements to find out
