I. Background
The February and May 2022 CPS
Unemployment Insurance (UI) NonFiler Supplement will be conducted at
the request of the Department of Labor’s
Chief Evaluation Office. The
supplement was last collected in May
and September of 2018.
The UI Non-Filer Supplement will
gather information on people who are
unemployed as well as on a subset of
those who are not in the labor force.
Information will be collected about UI
participation and reasons for not
participating. The supplement also
contains questions about people’s job
search experience, such as information
about jobs for which they have applied
and whether they would accept a job
similar to their last job but at lower pay.
Additionally, this supplement contains
questions about the job search process
of unemployed individuals and the
difficulties these seekers have in finding
new employment.
Because this supplement is part of the
CPS, the same detailed demographic
information collected in the CPS will be
available on respondents to the
supplement. Comparisons between UI
filers and non-filers will be possible
across characteristics such as sex, race
and ethnicity, age, and educational
attainment.
UI benefits provide temporary
financial assistance to the unemployed
who meet certain eligibility criteria and
can also help protect the economy
during economic downturns.
Unemployment increased dramatically
in the wake of the coronavirus (COVID–
19) pandemic, making updated
information of paramount importance.
Data gathered in this supplement will
help measure the effectiveness of
current UI programs, identify possible
shortcomings in existing UI programs,
and assist policy makers in developing
more effective policies.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the CPS UI
Non-Filer Supplement.
This collection is needed to provide
the Nation with timely information
about individuals who do not file for UI
benefits and their reasons for not doing
so. In addition, data from the
supplement will provide a fuller picture
about how the unemployed search for
jobs and the hardships they face when
doing so.

OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor;
telephone (202) 693–2222.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
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 (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 Vertical Tandem Lift (VTL)
Standard for Marine Terminals (29 CFR
part 1917) specifies the following
collection of information requirements.
The purpose of each of these
requirements is to provide workers with
safe work practices when using VTLs. A
VTL is the practice of a container crane
lifting two or more intermodal
containers, one on top of the other,
connected by a particular type of inter
box connector, known as a
semiautomatic twist lock.
Paragraph (a) of § 1917.71 requires
that all intermodal containers are legibly
and permanently marked with the
weight of the container when empty
((a)(1)); the maximum weight the
container is designed to carry in pounds
((a)(2)); and the maximum weight
including the container ((a)(3)).
Additionally, loaded containers must
display their gross weight plainly
marked on the container in a way that
it is visible to the crane operator or
other hoisting equipment operator or
signalman, or to every supervisor and
foreman on the site and in charge of the
operation ((b)(2)(i)), or supplied in the
form of a cargo stowage plan or
equivalent permanent record to the
crane or other hoisting equipment

Jkt 253001

operator and signalman, if any, and to
every supervisor and foreman on the
site and in charge of the operation
((b)(2)(ii)).
The labeling of intermodal containers
with the weight of the container, the
maximum weight of cargo that can be
packed in the container, and their sum
provides the crane operator or other
hoisting equipment operator or
signalman, or to every supervisor and
foreman on the site and in charge of the
operation with a minimum and
maximum range under which a
container can be safely lifted. Providing
the gross weight, either marked on the
container or supplied in the form of a
cargo stowage plan or equivalent
permanent record, ensures that the
containers being lifted and the cranes/
derricks performing the lifting are not
overloaded.
Paragraph (i)(8)(iv) of § 1917.71
requires employers to ensure that the
interbox connectors used in VTLs has
been certified by a competent authority
authorized under § 1918.11 (for interbox
connectors that are part of a vessel’s
gear) or § 1917.50 (for other interbox
connectors). Paragraph (i)(8)(v) requires
employers to make the certification
available for inspection and that the
certificate attests that the interbox
connector meets the strength criteria
specified in paragraph (i)(8)(iv) of the
standard. Also, paragraph (i)(8)(vi)
requires that each interbox connector be
clearly and durably marked with its safe
working load for lifting with and an
identifying number or mark that will
enable it to be associated with its test
certificate. The certification is necessary
to ensure that interbox connector-corner
casting assemblies have adequate
strength to ensure the safety of the lift.
Marking of interbox connectors informs
employers, workers and OSHA that the
interbox connectors have been certified.
Paragraph (j)(2) of § 1917.71 requires
the employer to develop, implement,
and maintain a written plan for
transporting vertically connected
containers in the terminal. The transport
plan helps ensure the safety of terminal
workers and thereby enhances
productivity. Paragraph (k)(2) of
§ 1917.71 requires that the written
transport plan include the safe work
zone and procedures to ensure that
workers are not in the zone when a VTL
is in motion.
Written plans give employers,
workers, and OSHA compliance officers
assurance that VTLs are safe to use and
provide the compliance officers with an
efficient means to assess employer
compliance with the Standard.

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;

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 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures
that information is in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and

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 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).
Manufacturer’s Certification of
Modifications (§ 1910.67(b)(2)). The
Standard requires that when aerial lifts
are ‘‘field modified’’ for uses other than
those intended by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer or other equivalent entity,
such as a nationally recognized testing
laboratory, must certify in writing that
the modification is in conformity with
all applicable provisions of ANSI
A92.2–1969 and the OSHA standard
and that the modified aerial lift is at
least as safe as the equipment was
before modification. Employers are to
maintain the certification record and
make it available to OSHA compliance
officers upon request. This record
provides assurance to employers,
workers, and compliance officers that
the modified aerial lift is safe for use,
thereby preventing failure while
workers are being elevated. The
certification record also provides the
most efficient means for the compliance
officers to determine that an employer is
complying with the Standard.
