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 is a description of the information collection
requirements contained in the standard on servicing multi-piece and
single piece rim wheels.
Certification of Repair (Sec. 1910.177(d)(3)(iv))
This paragraph requires that when restraining devices and barriers
are removed from service because they are defective, they shall not be
returned to service until they are repaired and reinspected. If the
repair is structural, the manufacturer or a Registered Professional
Engineer must certify that the strength requirements specified in
(d)(3)(i) of the Standard have been met. The certification records are
used to assure that equipment has been properly repaired. The
certification records also provide the most efficient means for OSHA
compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with the
Standard.
Marking or Tagging of Wheel Components (Sec. 1910.177(e)(2))
This paragraph requires that defective wheels and wheel components
``be marked or tagged unserviceable and removed from the service
area.'' Under this requirement, OSHA is providing employers with
sufficient information from which they can derive the wording to use in
marking the object or constructing a tag. Therefore, this provision
imposes no paperwork burden because it falls within the portion of 5
CFR 1320.3(c)(2) that states, ``The public disclosure of information
originally supplied by the Federal government to the recipient for the
purpose of disclosure to the public is not included within the
definition of `collection of information.''
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;
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 Servicing Multi-Piece and Single
Piece Rim Wheels Standard. The agency is requesting that the burden
remains for one hour.
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: Servicing Multi-Piece and Single Piece Rim Wheels Standard.
OMB Control Number: 1218-0219.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 85.
Number of Responses: 9.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Timeper Response: 5/60.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1.
