mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(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 Cranes and Derricks standard’s
information collection requirements
impose a duty on employers to produce
and maintain records that implement
controls and take other measures to
protect workers from hazards related to
cranes and derricks used in
construction. Accordingly, construction
businesses with workers who operate or
work in the vicinity of cranes and
derricks must have, as applicable, the
following documents on file and
available at the job site: Equipment
ratings, employee training records,
written authorizations from qualified
individuals, and program qualification
audits. During an inspection, OSHA will
have access to the records to determine
compliance under conditions specified
by the standard. An employer’s failure
to generate and disclose the information
required in this standard will affect
significantly the Agency’s effort to
control and reduce injuries and fatalities
related to the use of cranes and derricks
in construction.
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
The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 36 burden hours
(from 386,066 to 386,030 burden hours).
The decrease in burden hours is due to
errors in calculations. There is also an
adjustment increase in operation and
maintenance costs of $103,775 from
$2,183,970 to 2,287,745. The increase is
mainly due to an increase in hourly
wage rates.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in its
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements contained in the Cranes
and Derricks Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Cranes and Derricks in
Construction (29 CFR part 1926, subpart
CC).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0261.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.

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 collection of
information requirements in accord
with the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) (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 collections of information
specified in the Noise Standard protect
workers from suffering material hearing
impairment. The collections of
information contained in the Noise
Standard include conducting noise
monitoring; notifying workers when
they are exposed at or above an 8-hour
time-weighted average of 85 decibels;
providing workers with initial and
annual audiograms; notifying workers of
a loss in hearing based on comparing
audiograms; maintaining records of
workplace noise exposure and workers’
audiograms; and allowing workers
access to materials and records required
by the Standard.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information 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
collection of information 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
The Agency is requesting an
adjustment increase of 115,855 burden
hours (from 2,068,736 to 2,184,591
burden hours). The increase is a result
of a 5.6% estimated increase in the
number of workers and manufacturing
establishments overall, according to
U.S. Census Bureau statistics. The
Agency is also requesting an adjustment
increase in operation and maintenance
costs from $26,296,876 to $31,242,929 (a
total increase of $4,946,053), which
reflects increased audiometric testing
costs.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Occupational Exposure to Noise
Standard (29 CFR 1910.95).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0048.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 221,603.
Total Responses: 15,356,111.
Frequency of Responses: Annually;
On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Various.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
2,184,591.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $31,242,929.
