OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for
a particular test standard is limited to
equipment or materials for which OSHA
standards require third-party testing and
certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test
standard also covers any products for
which OSHA does not require such
testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope
of recognition does not include these
products.

I. Background

Vertical Tandem Lifts (VTLs) for Marine
Terminals; Extension of the Office of
Management and Budget’s (OMB)
Approval of Information Collection
(Paperwork) Requirements

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. The purpose of these
requirements is to provide workers with
safe work practices when using VTLs.
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 designated 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
operator and signalman, if any, and to
every supervisor and foreman on the
site and in charge of the operation
((b)(2)(ii)).

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 155 / Monday, August 12, 2024 / Notices
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 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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:30 Aug 09, 2024

Jkt 262001

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
Vertical Tandem Lifts (VTLs) for Marine
Terminals. The agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease in burden hours
from 23,256 hours to 22,932 hours, a
difference of 324 hours. This decrease is
due to a reduction in the number of
containers per establishment, from
2,950 to 2,906.
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: Vertical Tandem Lifts (VTLs) for
Marine Terminals.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0260.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 1,210.
Number of Responses: 75,243.
