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 collection of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (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 efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The Electrical Protective Equipment
Standard (29 CFR 1926.97 and 29 CFR
1910.137) and the Electric Power
Generation, Transmission, and
E:\FR\FM\26JNN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 124 / Friday, June 26, 2020 / Notices
Distribution Standard (29 CFR part 1926
and 29 CFR 1910.269) specify several
collection of information. The following
describes the collection of information
contained in the standards and
addresses who will use the information.
Electrical Protective Equipment
Standard (§§ 1926.97 and 1910.137)
Testing Certification
(§§ 1926.97(c)(2)(xii) and
1910.137(c)(2)(xii)).
Employers must certify that the
electrical protective equipment used by
their workers have passed the tests
specified in paragraphs (c)(2)(vii)(D),
(c)(2)(viii), and (c)(2)(ix) and (xi) of the
Standards. The certification must
identify the equipment that passed the
tests and the dates of the tests. The two
standards require testing: Periodically
(generally, every 6 months for rubber
insulating gloves and every 12 months
for most other types of rubber insulating
equipment); after any repairs; and before
the equipment is returned to service
after any inspection finds certain
defects. In addition, the employer must
test rubber insulating gloves before
reuse after employees use them without
protector gloves and must certify that
testing. These performance-based
standards ensure that employers
maintain the most recent test records for
equipment that passes the required tests
without specifying precisely how the
employer must maintain those records.

Standard (Part 1926 and § 1910.269)
For host employer responsibilities
§§ 1910.269(a)(3)(i) and 1926.950(c)(1)
for construction and general industry,
before work begins, the host employer
must inform the contract employers of:
The characteristics of the host
employer’s installation listed;
conditions listed in paragraphs of this
section that are known to the host
employer; information about the design
and operation of the host employer’s
installation that the contract employer
needs to make the assessments required
by this section; and any other
information about the design and
operation of the host employer’s
installation that is known by the host
employer, that the contract employer
requests, and that is related to the
protection of the contract employer’s
employees.
For contract employer responsibilities
§§ 1910.269(a)(3)(ii) and 1926.950(c)(2)
for construction and general industry,
contract employers must ensure that
each of the employees is instructed in
the hazardous conditions relevant to the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:42 Jun 25, 2020
Jkt 250001
employee’s work that the contract
employer is aware of as a result of
information communicated to the
contract employer by the host employer;
before work begins, the contract
employer must advise the host employer
of any unique hazardous conditions
presented by the contract employer’s
work; and the contract employer must
advise the host employer of any
unanticipated hazardous conditions
found during the contract employer’s
work that the host employer did not
mention. The contract employer shall
provide this information to the host
employer within 2 working days after
discovering the hazardous condition.
In job briefing the information
provided by the employer in
§§ 1910.269(c)(1)(i) and 1926.952(a)(1)
for construction and general industry, in
assigning an employee or a group of
employees to perform a job, the
employer must provide the employee in
charge of the job with all available
information that relates to the
determination of existing characteristics
and conditions required.
For the engineering analyses to
determine maximum anticipated per
unit transient overvoltage in
§§ 1910.269(l)(3)(ii) and
1926.960(c)(1)(ii) for construction and
general industry, the employer must
determine the maximum anticipated
per-unit transient overvoltage, phase-toground, through an engineering analysis
or assume a maximum anticipated perunit transient overvoltage, phase-toground, in accordance with the tables
listed. When the employer uses portable
protective gaps to control the maximum
transient overvoltage, the value of the
maximum anticipated per-unit transient
overvoltage, phase-to-ground, must
provide for five standard deviations
between the statistical sparkover voltage
of the gap and the statistical withstand
voltage corresponding to the electrical
component of the minimum approach
distance. The employer must make any
engineering analysis conducted to
determine maximum anticipated perunit transient overvoltage available
upon request to employees and to the
Assistant Secretary or designee for
examination and copying.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information 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
collection of information, including the
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703

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
OSHA is requesting that OMB extends
the approval of the collection of
information contained in the Standards
on Electric Power Generation,
Transmission, and Distribution for
Construction and General Industry (29
CFR part 1926, subpart V, and 29 CFR
1910.269) and the Electrical Protective
Equipment Standards for Construction
and General Industry (29 CFR 1926.97
and 29 CFR 1910.137). The agency is
requesting an adjustment increase in the
burden hours from 365,094 hours to
380,735 hours, a difference of 15,641
burden hours. This increase in burden
is due to an increase in the number of
projects and an increase in the number
of establishments. 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 information
collection.
