We are filing
comments on these proposed collections of information under 5 CFR
1320.13. The agency shall respond to these comments in the final
rule. Pursuant to 1320.4(b)(3), the agency shall define the term
"potentially hazardous energy source" in the proposed rule, 29 CFR
1910.269(d)(2)(ii) so as to ensure the practical utility of this
collection of information. Such a definition should limit the
situations which would require "... a procedure (to) be developed,
documented, and implemented by the employer for the control of
potentially hazardous energy sources ..." to those lockout/tagout
situations where this information collection would have practical
utility.
