II. 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 

(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 accurate. The Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the 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 accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). 

Paragraph (g)(4)(ii)(I) of the Cranes 

and Derricks Standard for Construction 

(Sec. 1926.550) requires employers to 

post conspicuously with a plate or other 

permanent marking the weight and 

rated load capacity or maximum 

intended loads of each platform used to 

raise and lower employees to a worksite 

using a crane or derrick. This 

requirement helps employers to avoid 

exceeding the lifting capacity of such 

platforms and the cranes or derrick 

being used to lift the platforms. 

Therefore, this requirement can prevent 

the platform, crane, or derrick from 

collapsing and causing serious injury to 

death to employees on or below the 

platform. 

III. 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. 

IV. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is proposing to extend the 

information collection requirement 

specified by paragraph (g)(4)(ii)(I) of 

Sec. 1926.550. The Agency will 

summarize the comments submitted in 

response to this notice and will include 

this summary in its request to OMB to 

extend the approval of this information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Standard. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved information 

collection requirements. 

Title: Cranes and Derricks Standard 

for Construction; Posting Weight and 

Load Capacity of Personnel Platforms 

(29 CFR 1926.550). 

OMB Number: 1218–0151. 

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

government; State, local, or Tribal 

governments. 

Number of Respondents: 2,750 

(platforms). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Total Responses: 2,750. 

Average Time per Response: Five 

minutes to post or mark a platform. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 229. 

Estimated Cost. (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0. 

V. Authority and Signature 

John L. Henshaw, Assistant Secretary 

of Labor for Occupational Safety and 

Health, directed the preparation of this 

notice. The authority for this notice is 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3506 et seq.), and Secretary 

of Labor’s Order No. 5–2002 (67 FR 

65008).

BILLING CODE 4510–26–M

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, 

Availability 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has issued for public 

comment a draft of a new guide in the 

agency’s Regulatory Guide Series. This 

series has been developed to describe 

and make available to the public such 

information as methods that are 

acceptable to the NRC staff for 

implementing specific parts of the 

NRC’s regulations, techniques that the 

staff uses in evaluating specific 

problems or postulated accidents, and 

data that the staff needs in its review of 

applications for permits and licenses. 

The new draft regulatory guide, 

entitled ‘‘Risk-Informed, PerformanceBased Fire Protection for Existing LightWater Nuclear Power Plants,’’ is 

temporarily identified by its task 

number, DG–1139, which should be 

mentioned in all related 

correspondence. The draft regulatory 

guide contains the staff’s regulatory 

position on ‘‘Guidance for 

Implementing a Risk-Informed, 

Performance-Based Fire Protection 

Program Under 10 CFR 50.48(c),’’ which 

the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) has 

promulgated as document #NEI 04–02. 

It is the staff’s intent to endorse a 

version of NEI 04–02, as appropriate, in 

the final regulatory guide, consistent 

with the new risk-informed, 

performance-based fire protection rule, 

specified in Title 10, Section 50.48(c), of 

the Code of Federal Regulations [10 CFR 

50.48(c)], which the NRC has issued for 

existing light-water nuclear power 

plants. This new regulation provides a 

voluntary alternative to the 

requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR 

part 50, ‘‘Fire Protection Program for 

Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior 

to January 1, 1979.’’ As such, the new 

rule endorses a national consensus 

standard (NEI 04–02), sets performance 

goals and criteria, and takes advantage 

of experience and enhanced 

methodologies. 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on draft regulatory guide DG–1139, and 

comments may be accompanied by 

relevant information or supporting data. 

Please mention DG–1139 [50.48(c) RG] 

in the subject line of your comments. 

Comments on this draft regulatory guide 

submitted in writing or in electronic 

form will be made available to the 

public in their entirety on the NRC’s 

rulemaking Web site. Personal 

information will not be removed from 

your comments. You may submit 

comments by any of the following 

methods.

Directives Branch, Office of 

Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
