traveled entries require the weekly
examiner to crawl on his hands and
knees, preventing quick egress if
necessary.
(2) All air entering and leaving the
affected area can be measured and
evaluated safely from the proposed inlet
and outlet evaluation points shown on
the drawing attached to this petition.
Access to the proposed inlet and outlet
evaluation points is not hindered by
roof falls or excessive floor heave,
allowing quick egress if necessary.
(3) There are no seals or electrical
installations within the proposed
evaluation area that must be examined.
(4) In lieu of traveling one of the
return entries in the proposed
evaluation area, at least every 7 days, a
certified person will:
(a) Measure the air quantity at each
inlet and outlet evaluation point. If the
combined air quantity at the outlet
evaluation points differs by more than
20 percent from the combined air
quantity at the inlet evaluation points,
ventilation controls surrounding the
affected area will be examined from the
outby side and corrective measures will
be implemented to repair the affected
ventilation controls to restore the
differential air quantities to within 20
percent.
(b) Measure the air quality at each
inlet and outlet evaluation point. Both
the methane and oxygen concentrations
will be measured. Methane
concentrations at the inlet and outlet
evaluation points will be a minimum of
19.5 percent.
(c) Verify the proper air direction as
indicated on the drawing at each inlet
and outlet evaluation point.
(d) Record the air quantity, air quality,
and a notation of proper air direction at
each inlet and outlet evaluation point in
the weekly examination book.
The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method will at all
times guarantee no less than the same
measure of protection as that afforded
by the existing standard and that
traveling one of the affected entries
results in a diminution of safety.

Director, Office of Standards, Regulations,

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)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and cost) 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 effort in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The VTL Standard for Marine
Terminals (29 CFR part 1917) specifies
the following collection of information
requirements. The purpose of each of
these requirements is to provide
workers with safe work practices when
conducting VTLs.
Paragraph (i)(8)(iv) of § 1917.71
requires employers to ensure that the
interbox connectors used in VTLs have
been certified by a competent authority
authorized under § 1918.11 (for interbox
connectors that are part of a vessel’s

E:\FR\FM\22JAN1.SGM

3032

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 14 / Monday, January 22, 2018 / Notices

gear) or § 1917.50 (for other interbox
connectors). Paragraph (i)(8)(v) requires
employers to have a certificate available
for inspection that attests that the
interbox connector meets the strength
criteria specified in paragraph (i)(8)(iv)
of the standard. Also, paragraph
(i)(8)(vi) requires that each interbox
connector be clearly and durably
marked with its safe working load for
lifting, including an identifying number
or mark that will enable it to be
associated with its test certificate.
The certification is necessary to
ensure that interbox connector-corner
casting assemblies have adequate
strength to safely perform the lift.
Marking of interbox connectors informs
employers, workers, and OSHA that the
interbox connectors have been certified.
Paragraph (j)(2) of § 1917.71 requires
the employer to develop, implement,
and maintain a written plan for
transporting vertically connected
containers in the terminal. The transport
plan helps ensure the safety of terminal
workers and thereby enhances
productivity. Paragraph (k)(2) of
§ 1917.71 requires the written transport
plan to identify a safe work zone within
which workers are not permitted to be
present when a VTL is in motion.
Written plans give employers,
workers, and OSHA compliance officers
assurance that VTLs are safe to use and
provide the compliance officers with an
efficient means to assess employer
compliance with the Standard.

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 to protect workers,
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 proposing an adjustment
decrease of the existing burden hour
estimate for the collection of
information requirement specified by
the Standard from 560 hours to 512
hours—a total decrease of 48 hours.
Based on staff expertise with marine
