SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR REVISIONS TO INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

FOR GENERAL INDUSTRY (29 CFR PART 1910, SUBPART I)¹

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET (OMB)

CONTROL NO. 1218-0205 (November 2016)

RIN 1218-AB80

This Supporting Statement contains revisions to the approved information collections for the general industry Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) standards to reflect the collection of information in the Personal Protective Equipment (Fall Protection Systems) final rule.

A. JUSTIFICATION

1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary. Identify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection. Attach a copy of the appropriate section of each statute and regulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information.

The main objective of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) is to “assure so far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources” (29 U.S.C. 651(b)). To achieve this objective, the OSH Act authorizes “the Secretary of Labor to set mandatory occupational safety and health standards” (29 U.S.C. 651(b)(3)).

With regard to recordkeeping, the OSH Act specifies that “[e]ach employer shall make, keep and preserve, and make available to the Secretary . . . such records . . . as the Secretary . . . may prescribe by regulation as necessary appropriate for enforcement of this Act” (29 U.S.C. 657(c)(1)). The OSH Act further states that “[t]he Secretary . . . shall prescribe such rules and regulations as [he/she] may deem necessary to carry out [his/her] responsibilities under this Act, including rules and regulations dealing with inspection of an employer’s establishment” (29 U.S.C. 657(c)(1)).

Under the authority granted by the OSH Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued personal protective equipment (PPE) standards for general industry (29 CFR part 1910, subpart I)(hereafter “existing subpart I”). OSHA is updating and revising the Personal Protective Equipment standards (29 CFR part 1910, subpart I), to include personal fall protection requirements (§1910.140).

Section 1910.132(a) requires that PPE be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact. Items 2 and 12 below describe in detail the specific information collection requirements in subpart I, including those for personal fall protection systems.

2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. Except for a new collection, indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the current collection.

Existing §1910.132, which establishes general PPE requirements, currently contains one paperwork requirement.² The Personal Protective Equipment (Fall Protection Systems) final rule (hereafter “Personal Fall Protection final rule”) also contains the same paperwork requirement (§1910.132(g)). The following describes the information collection requirement in existing subpart I, and the Personal Fall Protection final rule, and addresses who will use the information.

Hazard Assessment and Verification (§1910.132(d))

Existing §1910.132(d)(1) and the Personal Fall Protection final rule require that employers perform a hazard assessment of the workplace to determine whether hazards are present, or likely to be present, that make the use of PPE necessary.³ Where such hazards are present, employers must select and have each affected workers use PPE that protects them from the identified hazards (§1910.132(d)(1)(i)), and communicate PPE selection decisions to each affected worker (§1910.132(d)(1)(ii)).

Existing §1910.132(d)(2) requires that employers certify in writing they have performed the required hazard assessment. The certification must include the date, the person certifying that the hazard assessment was conducted, and identification of the workplace evaluated (area or location). The Personal Fall Protection final rule expands the hazard assessment requirement to personal fall protection systems (final §1910.132(g)).

Conducting a PPE hazard assessment ensures that potential workplace hazards necessitating PPE use have been identified and that the PPE selected is appropriate for those hazards and the affected workers. Communicating information on PPE selection decisions to affected workers ensures they are aware that the PPE selected will protect them from the hazards the assessment identified. The certification of the hazard assessment verifies that employers have conducted the required assessment.

3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection of information involves the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses, and the basis for the decision for adopting this means of collection. Also describe any consideration of using information technology to reduce burden.

Employers may use automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological information collection techniques, or other forms of information technology (e.g., electronic submission of responses), when reporting or maintaining records associated with the information collection requirements in subpart I. The Agency wrote the paperwork requirements in §1910.132(d) in performance-oriented language (i.e., in terms of what data to collect, not how to record the data).

4. Describe efforts to identify duplication. Show specifically why any similar information already available cannot be used or modified for use for the purpose(s) described in A.2 above.

The information collection requirements in existing subpart I and §1910.140 of the final rule are specific to each employer and worker involved, and no other source or agency duplicates the requirement..

5. If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities, describe any methods used to reduce the burden.

The information collection requirements specified by existing subpart I and §1910.140 of the final rule do not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.

6. Describe the consequence to Federal program or policy activities if the collection is or is not conducted less frequently, as well as any technical or legal obstacles to reducing burden.

The collections of information are for the purpose of worker safety and health in the workplace and are the minimum amount necessary and appropriate.

7. Explain any special circumstances that would cause an information collection to be conducted in a manner:

• requiring respondents to report information to the agency more often than quarterly;

• requiring respondents to prepare a written response to a collection of information in fewer than 30 days after receipt of it;

• requiring respondents to submit more than an original and two copies of any document;

• requiring respondents to retain records, other than health, medical, government contract, grant-in-aid, or tax records for more than three years;

• in connection with a statistical survey that is not designed to produce valid and reliable results that can be generalized to the universe of study;

• requiring the use of statistical data classification that has not been reviewed and approved by OMB;

• that includes a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by authority established in statute or regulation, that is not supported by disclosure and data security policies that are consistent with the pledge, or which unnecessarily impedes sharing of data with other agencies for compatible confidential use; or

• requiring respondents to submit proprietary trade secret, or other confidential information unless the agency can prove that it has instituted procedures to protect the information's confidentiality to the extent permitted by law.

No special circumstances exist that require employers to collect information using the procedures specified by this item. The information collection requirements are within the guidelines set forth in 5 CFR 1320.5.

8. If applicable, provide a copy and identify the date and page number of publication in the Federal Register of the agency's notice, required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on the information collection prior to submission to OMB. Summarize public comments received in response to that notice and describe actions taken by the agency in response to those comments. Specifically address comments received on cost and hour burden.

Describe efforts to consult with persons outside the agency to obtain their views on the availability of data, frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions and recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting format (if any), and on the data elements to be recorded, disclosed, or reported.

Consultation with representatives of those from whom information is to be obtained or those who must compile records should occur at least once every three years -- even if the collection of information activity is the same as in prior periods. There may be circumstances that may preclude consultation in a specific situation. These circumstances should be explained.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA-95)(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2) and 3507(d)), OSHA solicited comments on the information collection in the proposed Personal Fall Protection rule (75 FR 69369)(11/12/10). In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, OMB did not approve the collection of information in the proposed Personal Fall Protection rule at that that time, and said, “Prior to publication of the final rule, the agency should provide a summary of all comments related to the information collection requirements contained in the proposed rule and a description of any changes made in response to these comments.” OSHA did not receive any comments in response to the proposed about the requirements contained in this collection of information.

During the same period, OSHA submitted a request to OMB to renew information collection requirements for existing subpart I. On October 11, 2010, OMB approved a renewal of the information collection requirement for existing subpart I under OMB Control Number 1218-0205. The ICR expires on August 31, 2019. In renewing the information collection request (ICR) for existing subpart I, OMB said that the terms of the previous clearance for existing subpart I remain in effect.

In accordance with PRA-95 (44 U.S.C. 3507) and as described in this supporting statement, OSHA requests that OMB (1) approve the collection of information requirement for the Personal Fall Protection final rule, and (2) approve the overall revisions to the collection of information requirements in the general industry PPE standards to reflect the information collections in the Personal Fall Protection final rule. OSHA notes that a Federal agency cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless OMB approves it under the PRA-95, and displays a currently valid OMB control number. Also, notwithstanding any other provision of law, no employer shall be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

9. Explain any decision to provide any payment or gift to respondents, other than remuneration of contractors or grantees.

The Agency will not provide payments or gifts to the respondents.

10. Describe any assurance of confidentiality provided to respondents and the basis for the assurance in statute, regulation, or agency policy.

The paperwork requirements specified by existing subpart I and §1910.140 of the final rule do not require the collection of confidential information.

11. Provide additional justification for any questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. This justification should include the reasons why the agency considers the questions necessary, the specific uses to be made of the information, the explanation to be given to persons from whom the information is requested, and any steps to be taken to obtain their consent.

The provisions in existing subpart I and §1910.140 of the final rule do not require the collection of sensitive information.

12. Provide estimates of the hour burden of the collection of information. The statement should:

• Indicate the number of respondents, frequency of response, annual hour burden, and an explanation of how the burden was estimated. Unless directed to do so, agencies should not conduct special surveys to obtain information on which to base hour burden estimates. Consultation with a sample (fewer than 10) of potential respondents is desirable. If the hour burden on respondents is expected to vary widely because of differences in activity, size, or complexity, show the range of estimated hour burden, and explain the reasons for the variance. Generally, estimates should not include burden hours for customary and usual business practices.

• If this request for approval covers more than one form, provide separate hour burden estimates for each form.

• Provide estimates of annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens for collections of information, identifying and using appropriate wage rate categories. The cost of contracting out or paying outside parties for information collection activities should not be included here. Instead, this cost should be included in Item 14.

Burden Hour and Cost Determinations⁴

As a preliminary matter, OSHA’s PPE Cost Survey provides estimates of the percentage of establishments in each affected industry where some kind of PPE is used and of the percentage of workers who use one or more types of PPE. Applying these percentages to industry-specific establishment and employment totals from the 2006 County Business Patterns, OSHA estimates that the PPE standards affect 3.5 million establishments and 43.6 million workers.

In determining the wage rates, OSHA used the mean hourly wage rates from the May 2015 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates,⁵ and the added fringe benefits for the compensation rate from the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, June 2015,⁶ Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor. The mean hourly rates of compensation for an Industrial Production Manager (11-3051) each including fringe benefits at 30.5 percent are as follows: 

Industrial Production Manager:  $70.32

(A) Initial Hazard Assessments, Reassessments, and Certification of Hazard Assessments (§1910.132(d)).

1. Employers performing PPE assessments, not including personal fall protection systems:

As mentioned, §1910.132(d) requires that all affected employers conduct a PPE hazard assessment and make a determination regarding their need for PPE. In the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) of OSHA’s rule revising existing subpart I (59 FR 16334 (4/6/1994)), the Agency estimated that the time to perform a PPE hazard assessment ranged from 3 to 29 hours, based on the number of workers per establishment. Conducting a PPE hazard assessment at establishments with 1-19 workers takes 3 hours; at establishments with 20-99 workers it takes 10 hours; at establishments with 100-249 workers it takes 19 hours; and at establishments with 250 or more workers it takes 29 hours. These estimates include the time necessary to communicate PPE selection decisions to affected workers and generate and maintain the certification record.

Data from the Census Bureau indicates that there is a 12.4-percent annual establishment turnover rate in the private sector.⁷ Therefore, there are 434,000 “new establishments” (3.5 million x 12.4 percent) that will need to conduct an initial PPE hazard assessment. The subpart I RIA noted that 47 percent of the 434,000 establishments were conducting the initial hazard assessment as a usual and customary practice, thus, 53 percent (230,020) of the establishments would incur a burden.

Based on 2006 County Business Patterns data, OSHA estimates that 85.1 percent (195,747) of the 230,020 affected establishments have fewer than 20 workers, 12.4 percent (28,522) have between 20 and 99 workers, 1.9 percent (4,370) have between 100 and 249 workers, and .6 percent (1,380) have 250 or more workers.⁸ Based on those estimates, the total burden for this activity is calculated as follows:

Burden hours: 195,747 establishments x 3 hours = 587,241 hours

28,522 establishments x 10 hours = 285,220 hours

4,370 establishments x 19 hours = 83,030 hours

1,380 establishments x 29 hours = 40,020 hours

995,511 hours

Cost: 995,511 hours x $70.32 = $70,004,334

OSHA also estimates that all establishments will need to conduct PPE hazard reassessments, on average, once every five years (20 percent per year). This estimate is based on the assumption that establishments change production processes, incorporate new technologies or open new facilities at this rate. OSHA estimates that it will take one hour for an establishment to perform a PPE hazard reassessment; communicate the PPE selection decisions to affected workers; and generate and maintain the certification record. OSHA estimates that 47 percent of the 3.5 million establishments that existing subpart I requirements affect conduct a hazard reassessment as a usual and customary practice, thus, 53 percent (1,855,000 establishments) would incur a burden.

Burden hours: 1,855,000 establishments x .20 x 1 hour = 371,000 hours

Cost: 371,000 hours x $70.32 = $26,088,720

2. Employers performing hazard assessments for personal fall protection systems:

OSHA estimates the time to perform a hazard assessment for personal fall protection systems ranges from 1 to 4 hours, based on the size of the establishment. OSHA estimates that conducting a personal fall protection hazard assessment for establishments with 1-19 workers will take up to 1 hour; for establishments with 20-99 workers it will take up to 2 hours; for establishments with 100-449 workers it will take up to 3 hours; and for establishments with 500 or more workers it will take up to 4 hours. These estimates include the time necessary to communicate PPE selection decisions to affected workers and generate and maintain the certification record.

In particular, OSHA assumed that all establishments in the forestry, oil and gas, utility, manufacturing, and transportation sectors (NAICS 1131 through 3399 and 4811 through 4931) would perform a personal fall protection hazard assessment because of the high level of worker exposure to fall hazards in these sectors; one half the establishments in wholesale and retail sales (NAICS 4231 through 4543) would perform an assessment; and one quarter of the establishments in the service industries (NAICS 5111 through 8139) would perform an assessment.

Table 1 – Establishments Affected by Size and Hazard Assessment Percentage

Industries Personal Fall Protection Hazard Assessment %	Establishment Size
	1-19	20-99	100-499	500+
NAICS 1131 – 3399 and 4811 -4931 – 100%	391,912 x 100%	81,377 x 100%	34,528 x 100%	82,194 x 100%
	391,912	81,377	34,528	82,194
NAICS 4231-4543 – 50%	954,023 x 50%	145,983 x 50%	77,664 x 50%	380,423 x 50%
	477,012	72,992	38,832	190,212
NAICS 5111 – 8139 – 25%	3,358,774 x 25%	432,983 x 25%	232,134 x 25%	683,907 x 25%
	839,694	108,246	58,034	170,977
Totals	1,708,618	262,615	131,394	443,383

Note: Also, see Tables 3, 4, and 5 on the results.

The Agency assumes that 47 percent of all establishments already conduct a personal fall protection hazard assessment as a usual and customary practice. Therefore, only 53 percent of those establishments would need to perform an assessment:

Burden hours: 1,708,618 (1-19 establishment size) x 53% x 1 hour = 905,568 hours

262,615 (20-99 establishment size) x 53% x 2 hours = 278,372 hours

131,394(100-499 establishment size) x 53% x 3 hours = 208,916 hours

443,383 (500 or more establishment size) x 53% x 4 hours = 939,972 hours

2,332,828 hours

Cost: 2,332,828 hours x $70.32 = $164,044,465

OSHA estimates that all establishments will need to conduct personal fall protection hazard reassessments, on average, once every five years (20 percent per year). This estimate is based on the assumption that establishments will change production processes, incorporate new technologies or open new facilities at this rate. OSHA estimates that it will take 10 minutes (0.17 hour) for an establishment to perform this hazard reassessment, communicate the PPE selection decisions to affected workers, and generate and maintain the certification record. OSHA estimates that 47 percent of the 2,546,010 affected establishments already conduct a personal fall protection hazard reassessment as a usual and customary practice, thus, 53 percent (1,349,385 establishments) would incur a burden.

Burden hours: 1,349,385 establishments x 20% x 0.17 hour = 45,879 hours

Cost: 45,879 hours x $70.32 = $3,226,211

13. Provide an estimate of the total annual cost burden to respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of information. (Do not include the cost of any hour burden shown in Items 12 and 14.)

• The cost estimate should be split into two components: (a) a total capital and start-up cost component annualized over its expected useful life); and (b) a total operation and maintenance and purchase of service component. The estimates should take into account costs associated with generating, maintaining, and disclosing or providing the information. Include descriptions of methods used to estimate major cost factors including system and technology acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, the discount rate(s), and the time period over which costs will be incurred. Capital and start-up costs include, among other items, preparations for collecting information such as purchasing computers and software; monitoring, sampling, drilling and testing equipment; and record storage facilities.

• If cost estimates are expected to vary widely, agencies should present ranges of cost burdens and explain the reasons for the variance. The cost of purchasing or contracting out information collection services should be a part of this cost burden estimate. In developing cost burden estimates, agencies may consult with a sample of respondent (fewer than 10), utilize the 60-day pre-OMB submission public comment process and use existing economic or regulatory impact analysis associated with the rulemaking containing the information collection, as appropriate.

• Generally, estimates should not include purchases of equipment or services, or portions thereof, made: (1) prior to October 1, 1995, (2) to achieve regulatory compliance with requirements not associated with the information collection, (3) for reasons other than to provide information or keep records for the government, or (4) as part of customary and usual business or private practices.

The cost determinations made under Item 12 account for the total annual cost burden to respondents or recordkeepers resulting from these collection of information requirements.

14. Provide estimates of the annualized cost to the Federal Government. Also, provide a description of the method used to estimate cost, which should include quantification of hours, operational expenses (such as equipment, overhead, printing, and support staff), and any other expense that would not have been incurred without this collection of information. Agencies also may aggregate cost estimates from Items 12, 13, and 14 into a single table.

There are no costs to the Federal Government.

15. Explain the reasons for any program changes or adjustments.

The final rule requests an increase of 2,378,697 burden hours, from 1,366,521 to 3,745,218 hours, for the first year only. The increase is due to the addition of the personal fall protection requirements in the Personal Fall Protection final rule. Table 2 below describes each of the requested burden hour adjustments/program change to existing subpart I.

Table 2: Summary of the Requested Burden Hours and Cost

Information Collection Requirement	Current Burden Hours	Requested Burden Hours	Program / Adjustment Change	Cost Under Item 12	Responses	Explanation of Adjustment

Totals	1,366,521	3,745,218	2,378,697	$263,363,730	2,220,281

16. For collections of information whose results will be published, outline plans for tabulation, and publication. Address any complex analytical techniques that will be used. Provide the time schedule for the entire project, including beginning and ending dates of the collection of information, completion of report, publication dates, and other actions.

OSHA will not publish the information collected under this subpart.

17. If seeking approval to not display the expiration date for OMB approval of the information collection, explain the reasons that display would be appropriate.

OSHA lists current valid control numbers in 29 CFR 1910.8, 1915.8, 1917.4, 1918.4, and 1926.5 and publishes the expiration dates in the Federal Register notice announcing OMB approval of the information collection requirement (5 CFR 1320.3(f)(3)). OSHA believes that this is the most appropriate and accurate mechanism to inform interested parties of these expiration dates.

18. Explain each exception to the certification statement.

OSHA is not seeking an exception to the certification statement.

1 The purpose of this Supporting Statement is to analyze and describe the burden hours and costs associated with provisions of this standard that contain paperwork requirements. This Supporting Statement does not provide information or guidance on how to comply with, or how to enforce, these provisions. This Supporting Statement and information collection request (ICR) does not include burden hours and costs associated with the information collection requirements in 29 CFR 1910.134 Respiratory Protection and 29 CFR 1910.137 Electrical Protective Equipment, both of which have provisions addressing the use of personal protective equipment and are addressed in separate ICRs (See OMB Control Nos. 1218-0099 and 1218-0190, respectively).

2 On June 8, 2011, OSHA deleted the training verification requirement in §1910.132(f)(4), which was a collection of information requirement, as part of the Standards Improvement Project—Phase III final rule (76 FR 33590).

3 Section §1910.132(g) specifies that the hazard assessment (§1910.132(d)) requirements only apply to PPE for the eyes, face, head, feet, and hands. The final rule revises §1910.132(g) to also apply the hazard assessment requirement to personal fall protection systems.
