    SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to 
    reduce paperwork and respondent burden conducts a preclearance 
    consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies 
    with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing 
    collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
    Act of 1995 (PRA 95 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to 
    ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, 
    reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, 
    collection instruments are clearly understood, and impact of collection 
    requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the 
    Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is soliciting 
    comments concerning the proposed approval of the paperwork requirements 
    of 29 CFR 1910.180(d)(6); 29 CFR 1910.180(g)(1) and 29 CFR 
    1910.180(g)(2)(ii) of the standard for crawler, locomotive and truck 
    cranes. The Agency is particularly interested in comments which:
         Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
    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 submissions of responses.
    
    DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before September 15, 
    1997.
