SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
101(a), 30 U.S.C. 811(a), allows MSHA
to promulgate standards that would
require operators to make and retain
records from which MSHA would then
collect information. Section 103(h), 30
U.S.C. 813(h), of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 801 et seq., authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners. Title 30
CFR 57.3461 requires operators of
underground metal and nonmetal mines
to develop and implement a rock burst
control plan within 90 days after a rock
burst has been experienced. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 12, 2020 (85 FR 28038).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

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 efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Paragraph (a)(4) of the Powered
Industrial Trucks Standard requires
employers to obtain the manufacturer’s
written approval before modifying a
truck in a manner that affects the
capacity and safe operation; if the
manufacturer grants such approval, the
employer must revise capacity,
operation, and maintenance instruction
plates, tags, and decals accordingly. For
front-end attachments not installed by
the manufacturer, paragraph (a)(5)
mandates that employers provide a
marker on the trucks that identifies the
attachment, as well as the weight of
both the truck and the attachment when
the attachment is at maximum elevation
with a laterally centered load. Paragraph
(a)(6) specifies that employers must
ensure that the markers required by
paragraphs (a)(3) through (a)(5) remain
affixed to the trucks and are legible.
Paragraphs (1)(4) and (1)(6) of the
Standard contain the paperwork
requirements necessary to certify the
evaluation and training provided to
powered industrial truck operators.
Accordingly, these paragraphs specify
the following requirements for
employers.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:59 Oct 15, 2020

Jkt 253001

• Paragraph (1)(4)(iii)—evaluate each
operator’s performance at least once
every three years.
• Paragraph (l)(6)—Certify that each
operator meets the training and
evaluation requirements specified by
paragraph (l). This certification must
include the operator’s name, the
training date, the evaluation date, and
the identity of the individual(s) who
performed the training and evaluation.
Requiring labels (markings) on
modified equipment notifies workers of
the conditions under which they can
safely operate powered industrial
trucks, thereby preventing such hazards
as fires and explosions caused by poorly
designed electrical systems, rollovers/
tipovers that result from exceeding a
truck’s stability characteristics, and
falling loads that occur when loads
exceed the lifting capacities of
attachments. Certification of worker
training and evaluation provides a
means of informing employers that their
workers received the training and
demonstrated the performance
necessary to operate a truck within the
capacity and control limitations. By
ensuring that workers operate only
trucks that are in proper working order,
and do so safely, employers prevent
possible severe injury or death of truck
operators and other workers who are in
the vicinity of the trucks. Finally, these
paperwork requirements are the most
efficient means for an OSHA
compliance officer to determine that an
employer properly notified workers
about the design and construction of,
and modifications made to, the trucks
they are operating, and that an employer
provided them with the required
training.
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
OSHA is proposing to increase the
existing burden hour estimate of the

PO 00000

Frm 00090

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

65877

collection of information requirements
specified by the Standard. In this regard,
the agency is proposing to increase the
current burden hour estimate from
427,866 hours to 450,023 hours, a total
increase of 22,257 hours. An increase in
the number of powered industrial truck
operators from 1,210,679 to 1,276,055
resulted in this increase. The agency
will summarize the 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 collection.
Title: Powered Industrial Trucks (29
CFR 1910.178).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0242.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 1,276,055.
Number of Responses: 2,526,588.
Frequency of Reponses: On occasion;

Average Time per Response: Ranges
from two minutes to mark an approved
truck to 30 minutes to perform an
evaluation.

450,023.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $256,626.

I. Background
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services is the primary source of federal
support for the nation’s libraries and
museums. We advance, support, and
empower America’s museums, libraries,
and related organizations through grant
making, research, and policy
development. Our vision is a nation
where museums and libraries work
together to transform the lives of
individuals and communities. To learn
more, visit www.imls.gov.
II. Current Actions
The Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) is proposing an
evaluation of the Reopening Archives,
Libraries, and Museums (REALM)
Project. The REALM Project convenes
individuals from Institute of Museum
and Library Services (IMLS), OCLC Inc.
(OCLC), Battelle, and several key actors
in the libraries, archives, and museums
(LAM) field to bring their expertise and
on-the-ground experience together to
develop science-based information
about how materials can be handled to
mitigate COVID–19 exposure to staff
and visitors of LAM institutions as
COVID–19 restrictions begin lifting
across the country. This project extends
the guidance available from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) by providing information that is
specifically relevant to LAM
institutions.
Given that LAM institutions work
with physical materials that are often
circulated among the public, LAM
institutions have unique concerns about
how they can optimize their operations
while minimizing the potential for
spreading the Coronavirus. This
evaluation will be focused on
understanding the extent to which the
professionals from LAM institutions
have found that the REALM Project’s
research test results and toolkit
resources have met their needs. Data
will be collected through a survey of
organizations that have used the test
results and toolkit developed by the
REALM project.
Agency: Institute of Museum and
Library Services.
Title: Evaluation of the Reopening
Archives, Libraries, and Museums
Project.
OMB Number: 3137–NEW.
Agency Number: 3137.
Respondents/Affected Public: Staff
from library, archive, and museum
sectors.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: TBD.
