Electronic copies of this Federal 

Register notice as well as other relevant

Web page. 

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). 

Two Construction standards, 

‘‘Medical Services and First Aid’’

(§ 1926.50), and ‘‘General Requirements 

for Storage’’ (§ 1926.250), contain 

posting provisions. Paragraph (f) of 

§ 1926.50 requires employers to post 

emergency telephone numbers for 

physicians, hospitals, or ambulances at 

the worksite if the 911 emergency 

telephone services is not available; in 

the event an employee has a serious 

injury at the worksite, this posting 

requirement expedites emergency 

medical treatment of the employee. 

Paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.250 specifies 

that employers must post the maximum 

safe load limits of floors located in 

storage areas inside buildings or other 

structures, unless the floors are on 

grade. This provision prohibits 

employers from overloading floors in 

areas used to store material and 

equipment in multi-story units that are 

under construction, thereby preventing 

the floors from collapsing and seriously 

injuring employees. 

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 requirements 

specified by paragraph (f) of § 1926.50 

and paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.250. 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 these 

information collection requirements 

contained in the Standard. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved informationcollection requirements.
