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 accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (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
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).
Seven paragraphs in the Underground
Construction Standard (‘‘the Standard’’),
29 CFR 1926.800, require employers to
post warning signs or notices during
underground construction; these
paragraphs are (b)(3), (i)(3), (j)(1)(vi)(A),
(m)(2)(ii), (o)(2), (q)(11), and (t)(1)(iv)(B).
The warning signs and notices required
by these paragraphs enable employers to
effectively alert workers to the presence
of hazards or potential hazards at the job

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 66 / Monday, April 7, 2014 / Notices

site, thereby preventing worker
exposure to hazards or potential hazards
associated with underground
construction that could cause death or
serious harm.
Paragraph (t)(3)(xxi) of the Standard
requires employers to inspect and load
test hoists when they install them, and
at least annually thereafter; they must
also inspect and load test a hoist after
making any repairs or alterations to it
that affect its structural integrity, and
after tripping a safety device on the
hoist. Employers must also prepare a
certification record of each inspection
and load test that includes specified
information, and maintain the most
recent certification record until they
complete the construction project.
Establishing and maintaining a
written record of the most recent
inspection and load test alerts
equipment mechanics to problems
identified during the inspection. Prior to
returning the equipment to service,
employers can review the records to
ensure that the mechanics performed
the necessary repairs and maintenance.
Accordingly, by using only equipment
that is in safe working order, employers
will prevent severe injury and death to
the equipment operators and other
workers who work near the equipment.
In addition, these records provide the
most efficient means for OSHA
compliance officers to determine that an
employer performed the required
inspections and load tests, thereby
assuring that the equipment is safe to
operate.
Paragraph (j)(3) of the Standard
mandates that employers develop
records for air quality tests performed
under paragraph (j), including air
quality tests required by paragraphs
(j)(1)(ii)(A) through (j)(1)(iii)(A),
(j)(1)(iii)(B), (j)(1)(iii)(C), (j)(1)(iii)(D),
(j)(1)(iv), (j)(1)(v)(A), (j)(1)(v)(B), and
(j)(2)(i) through (j)(2)(v). Paragraph (j)
also requires that air quality records
include specified information, and that
employers maintain the records until
the underground construction project is
complete; they must also make the
records available to OSHA compliance
officers on request.
Maintaining records of air quality
tests allows employers to document
atmospheric hazards, and to ascertain
the effectiveness of controls (especially
ventilation) and implement additional
controls if necessary. Accordingly, these
requirements prevent serious injury and
death to workers who work on
underground construction projects. In
addition, these records provide an
efficient means for workers to evaluate
the accuracy and effectiveness of an
employer’s exposure reduction program,

Jkt 232001

and for OSHA compliance officers to
determine that employers performed the
required tests and implemented
appropriate controls.
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 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 an adjustment
increase of 8,982 burden hours (from
57,949 to 66,931 burden hours). The
adjustment increase is a result of an
increase in the number of construction
projects from 323 to 361. In addition,
there is an increase in the cost from
$117,000 to $129,600 (an increase of
$12,600). This cost increase is the result
of additional construction projects. The
Agency 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: Underground Construction
Standard (29 CFR 1926.800).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0067.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; not-for-profit institutions;
Federal government; State, local or
Tribal governments.
Number of Responses: 1,078,029.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from 30 seconds to read and record air
quality test results to one hour to
inspect, load test, and complete and
maintain a certification record for a
hoist.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
66,931.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $129,600.

the lines from the ship to the ice pier
parted and the ice pier fractured into
multiple pieces. A short lull in the
storm on 7 February provided the ship
the opportunity to safely pull away from
the ice pier. The storm brought an
increasing number of icebergs to the
area and in the interest of safety, the
ship proceeded north away from
McMurdo Station. Once the storm had
subsided, the broken ice pier was found
to be unfit for further operations and all
containers (including those containing
the packaged hazardous waste) which
had not been previously loaded onto the
cargo ship remained on station. The
packaged waste material has been
secured until removal during the 2014–
2015 season.

AGENCY:

The Program of Environment
Safety and Health in the Division of
Polar Programs in accordance with
§ 671.17, is giving notice that an
emergency relating to considerations of
human health and safety and ship safety
caused hazardous waste to be stored at
McMurdo Station for more than 15
months.
Hazardous waste in the form of
batteries (1,600 lbs), biomedical waste
from the clinic (4,500 lbs), chemical
waste (31,000 lbs), compressed gases
(2,000 lbs), hazardous debris (18,000
lbs), glycol (65,500 lbs), PCBs from
cleanup of historic activities (1,100 lbs),
petroleum products (132,600 lbs),
radioactive material from scientific
research (1,200 lbs) and solvents/paints
(3,200 lbs) was segregated and packaged
for removal from McMurdo Station at
the end of the 2013–2014 season and
was to be removed from the station in
February 2014.
On 6 February 2014, cargo operations
to load the containers containing the
segregated and packaged waste from the
ice pier onto the M/V Maersk Illinois
were suspended due to safety issues.
Conditions of very high winds (30 knots
sustained and up to 50 knot gusts) and
severe wave action made operations on
the ice pier dangerous. Throughout the
