SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of a
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 accordance 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, the reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, the
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the
information collection burden is
accurate. The Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C.
651 et seq.) authorizes information
collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
incidents (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH
Act also requires OSHA to obtain such
information with a minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining said information (see 29
U.S.C. 657).
The following provisions of the
Commercial Diving Operations
Standards (the ‘‘standards’’) contain
paperwork requirements:
§§ 1910.401(b); 1910.420(a) and (b);
1910.421(b) and (h); 1910.422(e);
1910.423(d) and (e); 1910.430(a), (b)(4),
(c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(iii), (c)(3)(i),
(f)(3)(ii), and (g)(2); and 1910.440(a)(2)
and (b). These provisions require that
employers: Notify OSHA if they deviate
from the operational requirements of the
standards; develop and make available

E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM

21MRN1

10554

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 55 / Thursday, March 21, 2019 / Notices

to employees a safe practices manual;
maintain a list of emergency telephone
or call numbers at the diving location;
display a code flag ‘‘A’’ if diving from
a surface other than a vessel in
navigable waters; and develop and
maintain a depth-time profile for each
dive. The standards also mandate that
employers: Record and maintain diving
logs that contain required information;
investigate and provide a written
evaluation of any incident involving
decompression sickness; mark diving
umbilicals as required; inspect, test, and
calibrate specified diving equipment;
record modifications, repairs, tests,
calibrations, and maintenance
performed on any diving equipment;
make a record of diving-related injuries
and illnesses that result in a diver
remaining in a hospital for over 24
hours; and create, and disclose to
specified parties on request, the written
records required by the standard, and
maintain these records for specified
periods.
The standards paperwork
requirements allow employers to
deviate from established diving
practices and tailor diving operations to
unusually hazardous diving conditions,
and to analyze diving records (including
hospitalization and treatment records)
for information they can use to improve
diving operations. These requirements
are also a direct and efficient means for
employers to inform dive-team members
about diving-related hazards,
procedures to use in avoiding and
controlling these hazards, and
recognizing and treating diving-related
illnesses and injuries. Additionally,
employers can review equipment
records to ensure that employees
performed the required actions, and that
the equipment is in safe working order.
Disclosing these records to employees
and their designated representatives
permits them to identify operational and
equipment conditions that may
contribute to diving accidents or divingrelated medical conditions.

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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001

• 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
According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics’ Occupational Employment
Statistics report on Occupational
Employment and Wages, May 2017, the
number of professional divers has
decreased from 10,000 divers in 2008 to
3,280 in 2017. Therefore, OSHA is
requesting an adjustment decrease of
137,847 burden hours from 205,015 to
67,168 hours. The agency will
summarize any 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: Commercial Diving Operations
Standard (29 CFR part 1910, subpart T).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0069.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 1,093.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Total Responses: 1,325,509.
Average Time per Response: Various.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
67,168.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
