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 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 

appropriate for enforcement of the Act 

or for developing information regarding 

the causes and prevention of 

occupational injuries, illnesses, and 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 15, 2011 / Notices 8783 

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). 

Seven paragraphs in the Underground 

Construction Standard (‘‘the Standard’’), 

29 CFR 1926.800, require employers to 

post warning signs or notices during 

underground construction; these 

paragraphs are (b)(3), (i)(3), (j)(1)(vi)(A), 

(m)(2)(ii), (o)(2), (q)(11), and (t)(1)(iv)(B). 

The warning signs and notices required 

by these paragraphs enable employers to 

effectively alert employees to the 

presence of hazards or potential hazards 

at the job site, thereby preventing 

employee exposure to hazards or 

potential hazards associated with 

underground construction that could 

cause death or serious harm. 

Paragraph (t)(3)(xxi) of the Standard 

requires employers to inspect and load 

test hoists when they install them, and 

at least annually thereafter; they must 

also inspect and load test a hoist after 

making any repairs or alterations to it 

that affect its structural integrity, and 

after tripping a safety device on the 

hoist. Employers must also prepare a 

certification record of each inspection 

and load test that includes specified 

information, and maintain the most 

recent certification record until they 

complete the construction project. 

Establishing and maintaining a 

written record of the most recent 

inspection and load test alerts 

equipment mechanics to problems 

identified during the inspection. Prior to 

returning the equipment to service, 

employers can review the records to 

ensure that the mechanics performed 

the necessary repairs and maintenance. 

Accordingly, by using only equipment 

that is in safe working order, employers 

will prevent severe injury and death to 

the equipment operators and other 

employees who work near the 

equipment. In addition, these records 

provide the most efficient means for 

OSHA compliance officers to determine 

that an employer performed the 

required inspections and load tests, 

thereby assuring that the equipment is 

safe to operate. 

Paragraph (j)(3) of the Standard 

mandates that employers develop 

records for air quality tests performed 

under paragraph (j), including air 

quality tests required by paragraphs 

(j)(1)(ii)(A) through (j)(1)(iii)(A), 

(j)(1)(iii)(B), (j)(1)(iii)(C), (j)(1)(iii)(D), 

(j)(1)(iv), (j)(1)(v)(A), (j)(1)(v)(B), and 

(j)(2)(i) through (j)(2)(v). Paragraph (j) 

also requires that air quality records 

include specified information, and that 

employers maintain the records until 

the underground construction project is 

complete; they must also make the 

records available to OSHA compliance 

officers on request. 

Maintaining records of air quality 

tests allows employers to document 

atmospheric hazards, and to ascertain 

the effectiveness of controls (especially 

ventilation) and implement additional 

controls if necessary. Accordingly, these 

requirements prevent serious injury and 

death to employees who work on 

underground construction projects. In 

addition, these records provide an 

efficient means for employees to 

evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness 

of an employer’s exposure reduction 

program, and for OSHA compliance 

officers to determine that employers 

performed the required tests and 

implemented appropriate controls. 

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 

its approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Standard on Underground Construction 

(29 CFR 1926.800). The Agency is 

requesting to retain its previous estimate 

of 57,949 burden hours. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Underground Construction 

Standard (29 CFR 1926.800). 

OMB Number: 1218–0067. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; not-for profit institutions; 

Federal government; State, local or 

Tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents: 323. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Varies 

from 30 seconds to read and record air 

quality test results to one hour to 

inspect, load test, and complete and 

maintain a certification record for a 

hoist. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

57,949. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $117,000.
