I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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)
(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 OSHA to 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 certification requirement
specified in the Aerial Lifts Standard
demonstrates that the manufacturer or
an equally-qualified entity has assessed
a modified aerial lift and found that it
was safe for use by, or near, workers;
and that it would provide workers with
a level of protection at least equivalent
to the protection afforded by the lift
prior to modification.
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
There are no program changes or
adjustment associated with this ICR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) invites
interested individuals to submit
nominations for membership on
NACOSH.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651,
656) established NACOSH to advise,
consult with, and make
recommendations to the Secretary and
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS Secretary) on matters
relating to the administration of the
OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing
advisory committee of indefinite
duration.
NACOSH operates in accordance with
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), implementing
regulations (41 CFR part 102–3), the
OSH Act, and OSHA’s regulations on
NACOSH (29 CFR part 1912a).
NACOSH is comprised of 12
members, all of whom the Secretary
appoints. The terms of six NACOSH
members expire on July 31, 2020, and
the terms of the other six members
expire on July 31, 2021. NACOSH
members serve staggered terms, unless
the member becomes unable to serve,
resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve,
or is removed by the Secretary.
Accordingly, the Secretary will appoint
six members to a two-year term. If a
vacancy occurs before a term expires,
the Secretary may appoint a new
member who represents the same
interest as the predecessor to serve the
remainder of the unexpired term. The
Committee shall meet at least two times
a year (29 U.S.C. 656(a)(2)).
OSHA invites nominations for the
following NACOSH positions:
• Two (2) public representatives;
