III. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
MET submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of its scope of
recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application file, and pertinent
documentation, indicate that MET can
meet the requirements prescribed by 29
CFR 1910.7 for expanding its
recognition to include the addition of
these seventeen test standards for NRTL
testing and certification listed in Table
1. This preliminary finding does not
constitute an interim or temporary
approval of MET’s application.
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether MET meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition as a NRTL. Comments
should consist of pertinent written
documents and exhibits. Commenters
needing more time to comment must
submit a request in writing, stating the
reasons for the request. Commenters
must submit the written request for an
extension by the due date for comments.
OSHA will limit any extension to 10
days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a
request for an extension if the request is
not adequately justified. To obtain or
review copies of the exhibits identified
in this notice, as well as comments
submitted to the docket, contact the
Docket Office, at the above address.
These materials also are available online
at https://www.regulations.gov under
Docket No. OSHA–2006–0028.
OSHA staff will review all comments
to the docket submitted in a timely
manner and, after addressing the issues
raised by these comments, will make a
recommendation to the Assistant

Health whether to grant MET’s
application for expansion of its scope of

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 (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).
Falls are a leading cause of death for
employees. According to 2019 Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) data, falls
accounted for 418 of the 1,061
construction fatalities, and 880 of the
5,333 fatalities in all recorded
industries. The National Fall Safety
Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in
Construction raises fall hazard
awareness across the country in an
effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries.
The Stand-Down is the biggest safety
outreach event ever conducted by the
agency. OSHA has collaborated with
countless industry leaders and
employers over the last eight years to
reach over 10 million workers during
Stand-Downs.
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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

20:12 Feb 14, 2022

Jkt 256001

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 requesting that OMB
approve the information collection
requirements contained in the National
Fall Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls
in Construction (29 U.S.C. 669). In this
information collection request, there are
4,500 respondents for an Occupational
Health and Safety Specialists with 750
total burden hours.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Title: National Fall Safety StandDown to Prevent Falls in Construction.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0271.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 4,500.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
Average Time per Response: OSHA
estimates an employer will take 10
minutes to complete the survey.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 750.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
