4082 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 18 / Tuesday, January 28, 1997 / Notices

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

This report is specifically concerned

with mechanical power presses.

However, because it provides

information about point-of-operation

injuries, the report is of

disproportionally significant value to

OSHA. Point-of-operation injuries are

the prime safety concern for machine

tools in general, not just mechanical

power presses. This report provides

OSHA with an ongoing and current

view of the causes of point-of-operation

injuries, with an extremely low burden

on the public.

In addition, OSHA is conducting a

national emphasis program aimed at

reducing the number and severity of

power press injuries. It will continue to

need the information provided in the

reports to monitor the types of injuries

reported and the sorts of equipment and

conditions associated with these

injuries. Existing reports were useful in

identifying affected industries and

equipment, but as industry patterns

evolve and new technologies arise (or

old ones decline), it will be useful to

have up-to-date information. Regardless

of whether this information is currently

needed for the revision of regulations, it

is useful in the context of enforcement

planning, compliance officer training,

and possibly, of use in relation to the

development of hazard alerts about

particularly hazardous equipment or

operations.

The Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) currently has

approval from the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for certain

information collection requirements

contained in 29 CFR 1910.217(g). That

approval will expire on March 31, 1997,

unless OSHA applies for an extension of

the OMB approval. This notice initiates

the process for OSHA to request an

extension of the current OMB approval.

This notice also solicits public comment

on OSHA’s existing paperwork burden

estimates from these interested parties

and to seek public response to several

questions related to the development of

OSHA’s estimation. Interested parties

are requested to review OSHA’s existing

estimates, which are based upon

information available during

rulemaking, and to comment on their

accuracy or appropriateness in today’s

workplace situation.

II. Current Actions

This notice requests an extension of

the current OMB approval of the

paperwork requirements in 29 CFR

1910.217(g), Reports of injuries to

employees operating mechanical power

presses.
