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, the 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 following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. Under the paperwork
requirements specified by paragraph (c)
of the Standard, an employer must
certify that his or her workers have been
trained as specified by the training
provision of the Standard. Specifically,
employers must prepare a certification
record which includes the identity of
the person trained, the signature of the
employer or the person who conducted
the training, and the date the training
was completed. The certification record
shall be prepared at the completion of
training and shall be maintained on file
for the duration of the employee’s
employment. The information collected
will be used by employers as well as by
compliance officers to determine
whether employees have been trained
according to the requirements set forth
in 29 CFR 1910.268(c).
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary

E:\FR\FM\29JYN1.SGM

29JYN1

60926

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 145 / Monday, July 29, 2024 / Notices

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;
• 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, and
transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Telecommunications Standard. OSHA is
proposing an adjustment decrease to the
existing burden hour estimate for the
information collection requirements
specified by the Standard from 5,499
hours to 4,563 hours, for a total decrease
of 936 hours. This decrease was due to
fewer establishments (from 36,394 to
36,258) and fewer workers covered by
the standard (from 203,180 to 168,590).
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Telecommunications Standard.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0225.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 168,590.
Number of Responses: 212,761.
Frequency of Responses: Once.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 4,563.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
