SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulation
29 CFR 1910.217(h) regulates the use of
Presence Sensing Devices (PSDs) in
mechanical power-press safety systems.
A PSD (e.g., a photoelectric field or
curtain) automatically stops the stroke
of a mechanical power press when the
device detects an operator entering a
danger zone near the press. The PSD
initiation standard contains a number of
information collection requirements,
including: Certifying brake monitor
adjustments, alternatives to
photoelectric PSDs, safety system design
and installation, and worker training;
annual recertification of safety systems;
establishing and maintaining the
original certification and validation
records, as well as the most recent
recertification and revalidation records;
affixing labels to test rods and to
certified and recertified presses; and
notifying an OSHA-recognized thirdparty validation organization when a
safety system component fails, the
employer modifies the safety system, or
a point-of-operation injury occurs. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
April 9, 2020 (85 FR 19961).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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
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

E:\FR\FM\18JNN1.SGM

18JNN1

36884

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 118 / Thursday, June 18, 2020 / Notices

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).
Paragraph (e)(9) of the Standard
requires that employers develop and
implement a written emergency action
plan for each type of powered platform
operation. The plan must explain the
emergency procedures that workers are
to follow if they encounter a disruption
of the power supply, equipment failure,
or other emergency. Prior to operating a
powered platform, employers must
notify workers how they can inform
themselves about alarm systems and
emergency escape routes, and
emergency procedures that pertain to
the building on which they will be
working. Employers are to review with
each worker those parts of the
emergency action plan that the worker
must know to ensure their protection
during an emergency; these reviews
must occur when the worker receives an
initial assignment involving a powered
platform operation and after the
employer revises the emergency action
plan.
According to paragraph (f)(5)(i)(C),
employers must affix a load rating plate
to a conspicuous location on each
suspended unit that states the unit’s
weight and the rated load capacity.
Paragraph (f)(5)(ii)(N) requires
employers to mount each emergency
electric operating device in a secured
compartment and label the device with
instructions for its use. After installing
a suspension wire rope, paragraphs
(f)(7)(vi) and (f)(7)(vii) mandate that
employers attach a corrosion-resistant
tag with specified information to one of
the wire rope fastenings if the rope is to
remain at one location. In addition,
paragraph (f)(7)(viii) requires employers
who resocket a wire rope to either stamp
specified information on the original tag
or put that information on a
supplemental tag and attach it to the
fastening.
Paragraphs (g)(2)(i) and (g)(2)(ii)
require that building owners, at least
annually, have a competent person:
Inspect the supporting structures of
their buildings; inspect and, if
necessary, test the components of the
powered platforms, including control
systems; inspect/test components
subject to wear (e.g., wire ropes,
bearings, gears, and governors); and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:40 Jun 17, 2020

Jkt 250001

certify these inspections and tests.
Under paragraph (g)(2)(iii), building
owners must maintain and, on request,
disclose to OSHA a written certification
record of these inspections/tests; this
record must include the date of the
inspection/test, the signature of the
competent person who performed it,
and the number/identifier of the
building support structure and
equipment inspected/tested.
Paragraph (g)(3)(i) mandates that
building owners use a competent person
to inspect and, if necessary, test each
powered platform facility according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations
every 30 days, or prior to use if the work
cycle is less than 30 days. Under
paragraph (g)(3)(ii), building owners
must maintain and, on request, disclose
to the agency a written certification
record of these inspections/tests; this
record is to include the date of the
inspection/test, the signature of the
competent person who performed it,
and the number/identifier of the
powered platform facility inspected/
tested.
According to paragraph (g)(5)(iii),
building owners must use a competent
person to thoroughly inspect suspension
wire ropes for a number of specified
conditions once a month, or before
placing the wire ropes into service if the
ropes are inactive for 30 days or longer.
Paragraph (g)(5)(v) requires building
owners to maintain and, on request,
disclose to OSHA a written certification
record of these monthly inspections;
this record must consist of the date of
the inspection, the signature of the
competent person who performed it,
and the number/identifier of the wire
rope inspected.
Upon completion of this training,
paragraph (i)(1)(v) specifies that
employers must prepare a written
certification that includes the identity of
the worker trained, the signature of the
employer or the trainer, and the date the
worker completed the training. In
addition, the employer must maintain a
worker’s training certificate for the
duration of their employment and, on
request, make it available to OSHA.
Emergency action plans allow
employers and workers to anticipate,
and effectively respond to, emergencies
that may arise during powered platform
operations. Affixing load rating plates to
suspended units, instructions to
emergency electric operating devices,
and tags to wire rope fasteners prevent
workplace accidents by providing
information to employers and workers
regarding the conditions under which
they can safely operate these system
components. Requiring building owners
to establish and maintain written

PO 00000

Frm 00057

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

certification of inspections and testing
conducted on the supporting structures
of buildings, powered platform systems,
and suspension wire ropes provides
employers and workers with assurance
that they can operate safely from the
buildings using equipment that is in
safe operating condition.
The training requirements increase
worker safety by allowing them to
develop the skills and knowledge
necessary to effectively operate, use,
and inspect powered platforms,
recognize and prevent safety hazards
associated with platform operation,
respond appropriately under emergency
conditions, and maintain and use their
fall protection arrest system. In
addition, the paperwork requirements
specified by the Standard provide the
most efficient means for an OSHA
compliance officer to determine
whether or not employers and building
owners are providing the required
notification and certification.
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
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Powered Platforms for
Building Maintenance (29 CFR 1910.66).
The agency is requesting an increase in
the current burden hours from 130,763
hours to 130,776 hours, a difference of
13 hours. The slight adjustment increase
is primarily due to the method of
calculating the burden. The agency
believes that using fractions instead of
decimals to represent time would make
it easier for the public to follow the
burden calculations. The agency will
summarize the 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.
