SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES

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)
(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 OSH
Act, or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (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 each of these
requirements is to prevent workers from
using unsafe cranes and ropes, thereby
reducing their risk of death or serious
injury caused by a crane or rope failure
during material handling.
(A) Inspection of and Certification
Records for Cranes (§ 1910.180(d)(4)
and (d)(6))
Paragraph 1910.180(d) specifies that
employers must prepare a written
record to certify that the monthly
inspection of critical items in use on
cranes (such as brakes, crane hooks, and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:22 Feb 25, 2020

Jkt 250001

ropes) has been performed. The
certification record must include the
inspection date, the signature of the
person who conducted the inspection,
and the serial number (or other
identifier) of the inspected crane.
Employers must keep the certificate
readily available. The certification
record provides employers, workers,
and OSHA compliance officers with
assurance that critical items on cranes
have been inspected, and that the
equipment is in good operating
condition so that the crane and rope
will not fail during material handling.
These records also enable OSHA to
determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard.
(B) Rated Load Tests (§ 1910.180(e)(2))
This provision requires employers to
make available written reports of loadrating tests showing test procedures and
confirming the adequacy of repairs or
alterations, and to make readily
available any rerating test reports. These
reports inform the employer, workers,
and OSHA compliance officers of a
crane’s lifting limitations, and provide
information to crane operators to
prevent them from exceeding these
limits and thereby causing crane failure.
(C) Inspection of and Certification
Records for Ropes (§ 1910.180(g)(1) and
(g)(2)(ii))
Paragraph (g)(1) requires employers to
thoroughly inspect any rope in use at
least once a month. The authorized
person conducting the inspection must
observe any deterioration resulting in
appreciable loss of original strength and
determine whether or not the condition
is hazardous. Before reusing a rope that
has not been used for at least a month
because the crane housing the rope is
shut down or in storage, paragraph
(g)(2)(ii) specifies that employers must
have an appointed or authorized person
inspect the rope for all types of
deterioration. Employers must prepare a
certification record for the inspections
required by paragraphs (g)(1) and
(g)(2)(ii). These certification records
must include the inspection date, the
signature of the person conducting the
inspection, and the identifier for the
inspected rope; paragraph (g)(1) states
that employers must keep the
certificates ‘‘on file where readily
available,’’ while paragraph (g)(2)(ii)
requires that certificates ‘‘be . . . kept
readily available.’’ The certification
records assure employers, workers, and
OSHA that the inspected ropes are in
good condition.

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.
II. Proposed Actions
There are no adjustments or program
changes associated with the information
collection requirements in the Standard.
The agency is requesting to retain its
current burden hours of 30,511. The
agency has determined that information
collected by the agency during an
investigation is not subject to the PRA
under 5 CFR 1320.4(a)(2). Therefore,
OSHA takes no burden or cost for
disclosure of records.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Title: Crawler, Locomotive, and Truck
Cranes (29 CFR 1910.180).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0221.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits; Federal Government; State,
Local, or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 34,994.
Frequency of Responses: Various.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 1 hour to conduct rated load tests
to monthly to inspect ropes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
30,511.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

[Docket No. OSHA–2007–0042]

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.:
Grant of Expansion of Recognition
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

In this notice, OSHA
announces the final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for TUV
Rheinland of North America, Inc., as a
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL).
DATES: The expansion of the scope of
recognition becomes effective on
February 26, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank
Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of
Communications, U.S. Department of
Labor; telephone: (202) 693–1999;

of Labor; telephone: (202) 693–2110;
email: [email protected]. OSHA’s
website includes information about the
NRTL Program (see http://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.
(TUVRNA) as a NRTL. TUVRNA’s
expansion covers the addition of one
recognized testing standard to the NRTL
scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified in 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within the scope of recognition,
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products properly approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition, or for

PO 00000

Frm 00070

expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides the
preliminary finding and, in the second
notice, the agency provides the final
decision on the application. These
notices set forth the NRTL’s scope of
recognition or modifications of that
scope. OSHA maintains an
informational web page for each NRTL
that details the scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
agency’s website at http://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
TUVRNA submitted two applications,
one dated March 30, 2016 (OSHA–
2007–0042–0030) and another dated
April 19, 2017 (OSHA–2007–0042–
0031), to expand the scope of
recognition to include the addition of
four recognized testing and certification
sites and the addition of two test
standards to its scope of recognition.
OSHA preliminarily determined that
OSHA should grant the applications for
expansion.
OSHA published a Federal Register
notice (83 FR 36625), July 30, 2018,
announcing these applications, but
referenced the incorrect title of one of
the standards in the listing of
appropriate test standards (UL 698A).
OSHA further published a Federal
Register notice (84 FR 26160), June 5,
2019, granting recognition for the four
sites and the two additional standards
requested in the application, but again
referenced the incorrect title one of the
standards in the listing of appropriate
test standards (UL 698A). This notice is
being issued to grant recognition to the
correct title of the standard requested in
TUVRNA’s application for expansion of
the NRTL scope of recognition (UL
698A).
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing TUVRNA’s
expansion application, reflecting the
correct title of the standard in the
Federal Register on October 29, 2019
(84 FR 57886). The agency requested
comments by November 13, 2019, and
the agency did not receive any
comments regarding the application.
OSHA now is proceeding with this final
notice to correct the title of the standard
previously granted to TUVRNA’s scope
of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to
TUVRNA’s application, go to
www.regulations.gov or contact the
