DC 20503 ({202} 395-7316), within 30 days from the date of this
publication in the Federal Register.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.

Description: The Standard for shackles and hooks (29 CFR
1915.113(b)(1)) requires that all hooks for which no applicable
manufacturer's recommendations are available shall be tested to twice
their intended safe work load before they are initially put into use,
and that the employer shall maintain a certification record. The
standard for portable air receivers (29 CFR 1915.172(d)) requires that
portable, unfired pressure vessels, not built to the code requirements
of 1915.172(a), shall be examined quarterly by a competent person and
that they be subjected yearly to a hydrostatic pressure test of one and
one-half times the working pressure of the vessels. A certification
record of these examinations and tests shall be maintained.
The information collection requirements contained in 29 CFR
1915.113(b)(1) and 29 CFR 1915.172(d) (shipyard certification records)
ensures that employees properly inform employees about the condition of
shackles and hooks, and portable air receivers and other unfired
pressure vessels, in shipyards. The information collection requirements
also verify that employers are in compliance with the standard. OSHA
compliance officers may require employers to disclose the required
certification records at the time of an inspection.
