SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
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 continuing information
collection requirements in accordance 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 correct.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) 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.) In this regard, the information collection
requirement (the manufacturer's certification record) in the standard
on Servicing Multi-Piece and Single Piece Rim Wheels (29 CFR
1910.177(d)(3)(iv)) ensures that employers protect employees from the
hazards of a damaged restraining device in the event of a rim wheel
separation or the sudden release of pressurized air.
II. Proposed Actions
OSHA proposes to retain its earlier estimate of six burden hours
for the provision pertaining to the manufacturer's certification record
in the standard on Servicing Multi-Piece and Single Piece Rim Wheels
(29 CFR 1910.177(d)(3)(iv)).
OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary in the request to OMB to extend
the approval of the information collection requirement contained in the
above standard.
