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 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 standard specifies several
paperwork requirements. The following
sections describe who uses the
information collected under each
requirement as well as how they use it.
The purpose of these requirements is to
prevent death and serious injuries
among workers by ensuring that the
derrick is not used to lift loads beyond
its rated capacity and that all the ropes
are inspected for wear and tear.
Paragraph (c)(1) requires that for
permanently installed derricks a clearly
legible rating chart must be provided

PO 00000

Frm 00084

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

with each derrick and securely affixed
to the derrick. Paragraph (c)(2) requires
that for non-permanent installations the
manufacturer must provide sufficient
information from which capacity charts
can be prepared by the employer for the
particular installation. The capacity
charts must be located at the derrick or
at the jobsite office. The data on the
capacity charts provide information to
the workers to assure that the derricks
are used as designed and not overloaded
or used beyond the range specified in
the charts.
Paragraph (f)(2)(i)(d) requires that
warning or out of order signs must be
placed on the derrick hoist while
adjustments and repairs are being
performed.
Paragraph (g)(1) requires employers to
thoroughly inspect all running rope in
use, and to do so at least once a month.
In addition, before using rope that has
been idle for at least a month, it must
be inspected as prescribed by paragraph
(g)(3) and a record prepared to certify
that the inspection was done. The
certification records must include the
inspection date, the signature of the
person conducting the inspection, and
the identifier of the rope inspected.
Employers must keep the certification
records on file and available for
inspection. The certification records
provide employers, workers, and OSHA
compliance officers with assurance that
the ropes are in good condition. The
Standard requires the disclosure of
charts and inspection certification
records if requested during an OSHA
inspection.
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 19 hours, from
1,355 to 1,336 hours, associated with
the information collection requirements
in the Standard. This adjustment

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 1, 2019 / Notices

decrease is due to the agency’s use of a
new method for rounding burden hours.

notice and will include this summary in
the request to OMB.
