SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
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 (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, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 163 / Tuesday, August 24, 2010 / Notices

OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the 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 efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Section 1910.255(e) requires that a
periodic inspection of resistance
welding equipment be made by
qualified maintenance personnel, and
that a certification record be generated
and maintained. The certification shall
include the date of the inspection, the
signature of the person who performed
the inspection and the serial number, or
other identifier, for the equipment
inspected. The record shall be made
available to an OSHA inspector upon
request. The maintenance inspection
ensures that welding equipment is in
safe operating condition while the
maintenance record provides evidence
to workers and Agency compliance
officers that employers performed the
required inspections.

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, 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 collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Welding, Cutting and
Brazing (29 CFR part 1910, subpart Q).
The Agency is requesting to reduce its
current burden hour estimate associated
with this Standard from 5,994 hours to
5,935 hours for a total reduction of 59

VerDate Mar<15>2010

15:00 Aug 23, 2010

Jkt 220001

hours. The reduction is a result of a
decrease in the estimated number of
resistance welders. The Agency will
summarize any comments submitted in
response to this notice and will include
this summary in the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Welding, Cutting and Brazing
(29 CFR part 1910, subpart Q).
OMB Number: 1218–0207.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 42,328.
Frequency: On occasion;
Semiannually.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 1 minute (.02 hour) to maintain the
inspection certification record to 7
minutes (.12 hour) to perform the
inspection and to generate and maintain
the inspection certification record.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,935.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
