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 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 1926.752(a)(1). Description of
the requirement. Based on the results of
a specified method for testing fieldcured samples, the controlling
contractor must provide the steel erector
with written notification that the
concrete in the footings, piers, and
walls, or the mortar in the masonry
piers and walls, is at 75% of its
minimum compressive-design strength
or has sufficient strength to support
loads imposed during steel erection.
Note: This is not and will not be
enforced for mortar in piers and walls
until OSHA defines an appropriate
substitute or until an appropriate
American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) test method is
developed.
Sections 1926.752(a)(2) and
1926.755(b)(1). Description of the
requirements. Under § 1926.752(a)(2),
the controlling contractor, before it
authorizes commencement of steel
erection, must notify the steel erector in
writing that any repairs, replacements,
and modifications to anchor bolts (rods)
have been made in accord with
§ 1926.755(b)(1) which requires that the
controlling contractor obtain approval
from the project structural engineer of

35190

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 118 / Thursday, June 19, 2014 / Notices

record for the repairs, replacements, and
modifications.
Section 1926.753(c)(5). Description of
the requirement. Employers must not
deactivate safety latches on hooks or
make them inoperable except for the
situation when a qualified rigger
determines that it is safer to hoist and
place purlins and single joists by doing
so; or except when equivalent
protection is provided in the sitespecific erection plan.
Section 1926.753(e)(2). Description of
the requirement. Employers must have
the maximum capacity of the total
multiple-lift rigging assembly, as well as
each of its individual attachment points,
certified by the manufacturer or a
qualified rigger.
Sections 1926.755(b)(2) and
1926.755(b)(1). Description of the
requirements. Under § 1926.755(b)(2),
throughout steel erection the controlling
contractor must notify the steel erector
in writing of additional repairs,
replacements, and modifications of
anchor bolts (rods); § 1926.755(b)(1)
requires that these repairs, replacements
and modifications not be made without
approval from the project structural
engineer of record.
Section 1926.757(a)(4). Description of
the requirement. If steel joists at or near
columns span more than 60 feet,
employers must set the joists in tandem
with all bridging installed. However, the
employer may use an alternative
method of erection if a qualified person
develops the alternative method, it
provides equivalent stability, and the
employer includes the method in the
site-specific erection plan.
Section 1926.757(a)(7). Description of
the requirement. Employers must not
modify steel joists or steel joist girders
in a way that affects their strength
without the approval of the project
structural engineer of record.
Sections 1926.757(a)(9) and
1926.758(g). Description of the
requirements. An employer can use a
steel joist, steel joist girder, purlin, or
girt as an anchorage point for a fall
arrest system only with the written
approval of a qualified person.
Section 1926.757(e)(4)(i). Description
of the requirement. An employer must
install and anchor all bridging on joists
and attach all joist bearing ends before
placing a bundle of decking on the
joists, unless: A qualified person
determines that the structure or portion
of the structure is capable of supporting
the bundle, the employer documents
this determination in the site-specific
erection plan and follows the additional
requirements specified in
§ 1926.757(e)(4)(ii)–(vi).

Jkt 232001

Section 1926.760(e) and (e)(1).
Description of the requirement. The
steel erector can leave its fall protection
at the jobsite after completion of the
erection activity only if the controlling
contractor or its authorized
representative directs the steel erector to
do so and inspects and accepts
responsibility for the fall protection.
Section 1926.761. Description of the
requirement. Employers must have
qualified persons provide training to all
workers exposed to fall hazards. This
training is to include: Recognition of fall
hazards at the worksite; use and
operation of guardrail systems, personal
fall arrest systems, positioning device
systems, fall restraint systems, safety net
systems, and other fall protection
implemented at the worksite; correct
procedures for erecting, maintaining,
disassembling, and inspecting these fall
protection systems; procedures that
prevent falls to lower levels, and
through or into holes and openings in
walking-working surfaces; and the fall
protection requirements of this Subpart.
In addition, employers are to provide
special training to workers engaged in
multiple-lift rigging procedures (i.e., to
recognize multi-lift hazards and in the
proper procedures and equipment to
perform multiple lifts), connector
procedures (i.e., to identify connector
hazards and in the requirements of
§§ 1926.756(c) and 1926.760(b)), and
controlled decking zone (CDZ)
procedures (i.e., knowledge of CDZ
hazards and in the requirements of
§§ 1926.754(e) and 1926.760(c)).
Paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of Appendix G to
Subpart R. Description of the
requirement. This mandatory appendix
duplicates the regulatory requirements
of § 1926.502 (‘‘Fall protection systems
criteria and practices’’), notably the
requirements specified in paragraph
(c)(4)(ii). This paragraph addresses the
certification of safety nets as an option
available to employers who can
demonstrate that performing a drop test
on safety nets is unreasonable. This
provision allows such employers to
certify that their safety nets, including
the installation of the nets, protect
workers at least as well as safety nets
that meet the drop test criteria. The
employer must complete the
certification process prior to using the
net for fall protection, and the certificate
must include the following information:
Identification of the net and the type of
installation used for the net; the date the
certifying party determined that the net
and its installation would meet the
drop-test criteria; and the signature of
the party making this determination.
The most recent certificate must be
available at the jobsite for inspection.

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
The Agency is requesting that OMB
extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Steel Erection (29 CFR part
1926, subpart R). The Agency is
requesting an adjustment decrease of
2,203 burden hours (from 23,602 hours
to 21,399 hours). This decrease is due to
a decline in worksites associated with
this subpart from 15,578 to 13,864.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Steel Erection (29 CFR part
1926, subpart R).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0241.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 13,864.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion,
annually; triennially.
Number of Responses: 72,317.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from one minute (.02 hour) for a
controlling contractor to inform a steel
erector to leave fall protection at the
jobsite to five hours for a project
engineer to do research and analysis to
provide approval for modifications to
steel joists or joist girders.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
21,399.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
