Note to Reviewer
Combining Information Collection Requests

There are five Information Collection Requests (ICRs) covering the Construction Industry
Cranes and Derricks Standard (29 CFR 1926.550). To better ensure consistency and account for
total burden and costs being imposed by the Cranes and Derricks Standard, OSHA is combining
these five ICRs into one ICR that will cover all of the collection of information requirements
contained in the Standard. The ICR that will cover all of the Cranes and Derricks Standard, will
be titled, “Cranes and Derricks (29 CFR 1926.550)” and will adopt the existing OMB Control
Number 1218-0113. The following table, Information Collection Requests covering the
Construction Crane and Derricks Standard, contains the OMB control number, the title of the
ICR, current burden hours, responses, and costs.
