This
regulation (29 CFR 2550.408b–1)
describes the terms, under section
408(b)(1), whereby plans’ loans to
participants and beneficiaries are
exempt from ERISA’s prohibited
transaction rules. Among other things,
the regulation describes the specific
provisions regarding such loans that
must be included in the plan document
for the statutory exemption to apply. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on

This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally

notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)

telephone: (202) 693–2222.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 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 ICR addresses the burden hours
associated with gathering information to
complete the OSHA 70 Form. The
OSHA 70 Form is used by applicants

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:51 May 19, 2020

Jkt 250001

seeking accreditation from OSHA to be
able to test or examine certain
equipment and material handling
devices as required under the maritime
regulations, part 1917 (Marine
Terminals), and part 1918
(Longshoring). The OSHA 70 Form
application for accreditation provides
an easy means for companies to apply
for accreditation.
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 94 hours (from
203 to 109 hours) associated with this
Information Collection Request. The
decrease is primarily attributed to a
decline in the issuance of exams from
8,701 to 5,000 and the number of
applicants seeking accreditation from 39
to 35. The agency determined that it had
over counted the number of quadrennial
exams since they are conducted every 4
years rather than annually.
Additionally, the cost to the government
was not factored in during previous
years. This new program change factors
in the Cost of the Government to run
this program.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Gear Certification Standard (29
CFR part 1919); OSHA 70 Form.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0003.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 664.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion;
Monthly; Quadrenially.
Total Responses: 5,035.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from one minute (1/60 hour) for a
clerical to maintain certifications to 45
minutes (45/60 hour) for a prospective
accredited agency to complete the
OSHA 70 Form.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 109.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $2,612,500.

The warning signs/barriers required
by paragraph 1926.701(c)(2) reduce
exposure of non-essential workers to the
hazards of post-tensioning operations,
principally a failed rope or wire striking
a worker and causing serious injury.
The requirements for lockout and tag
ejection systems and other hazardous
equipment (e.g., compressors, mixers,
screens or pumps used for concrete and
masonry construction) specified by
paragraphs 1926.702(a)(2), (j)(1), and
(j)(2) warn equipment operators not to
activate their equipment if another
worker enters the equipment to perform
a task (e.g., cleaning, inspecting,
maintaining, repairing), thereby
preventing injury or death.
Construction contractors and workers
use the drawings, plans, and designs
required by paragraph 1926.703(a)(2) to
provide specific instructions on how to
construct, erect, brace, maintain, and
remove shores and formwork if they
pour concrete at the job site. Paragraph
1926.705(b) requires employers to mark
the rated capacity of jacks and lifting
units. This requirement prevents
overloading and subsequent collapse of
jacks and lifting units, as well as their
loads, thereby sparing exposed workers
from serious injury or death.
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 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 requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the collection of
information (paperwork) requirements
contained in the Concrete and Masonry
Construction Standard. The agency is
requesting a 10,197 hour adjustment
increase (from 12,771 hours to 22,968
burden hours).
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Concrete and Masonry
Construction Standard (29 CFR part
1926, subpart Q).
OMB Number: 1218–0095.
