60 Day federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 189 / Thursday, September 29, 2016 / Notices
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standards listed above as American
National Standards. However, for
convenience, we may use the
designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation. Under the
NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA
Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized
for a particular test standard may use
either the proprietary version of the test
standard or the ANSI version of that
standard. Contact ANSI to determine
whether a test standard is currently
ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, SGS
also must abide by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. SGS must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in its
operations as an NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. SGS must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. SGS must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
SGS’s scope of recognition, in all areas
for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
recognition of SGS, subject to the
limitations and conditions specified
above.

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).
The information collected is used by
employers and workers whenever
welding, cutting and brazing are
performed. The purpose of the
information is to ensure that employers
evaluate hazards associated with
welding and ensure that adequate
measures are taken to make the process
safe.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 189 / Thursday, September 29, 2016 / Notices

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
The Agency requests an adjustment
increase of 97 burden hours (from 5,635
burden hours to 5,732 burden hours)
associated with the collection of
information in the Welding, Cutting,
and Brazing Standard. OSHA will
summarize the comments submitted in
response to this notice, and will include
this summary in its request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Welding, Cutting, and Brazing
(29 CFR part, subpart Q).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0207.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 20,471.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Total Responses: 81,884.
Average Time per Response: OSHA
estimates it will take 1 minute (.02 hour)
to maintain the inspection certification
record to 5 minutes (.08 hour) for each
welder to perform the inspection
periodically (semi-annually).
