SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of 

the 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) 

(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, the collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

authorizes information collection by 

employers as necessary or appropriate 

for enforcement of the OSH Act or for 

developing information regarding the 

causes and prevention of occupational 

injuries, illnesses, and 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 effort in obtaining 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The following sections describe who 

uses the information collected under 

each requirement, as well as how they 

use it. The paperwork provisions of the 

Standard specify requirements for: 

marking the rated load of cranes; 

preparing certification records to verify 

the inspection of the crane hooks, hoist 

chains, and rope; and preparing reports 

of rated load tests for repaired hooks or 

modified cranes. Records and reports 

must be maintained and disclosed upon 

request. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 231 / Monday, December 4, 2023 / Notices 84175 

for the proper performance of the 

agency’s functions to protect workers, 

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 

the approval of the Information 

Collection Requirements contained in 

the Overhead and Gantry Cranes 

Standard. After consulting with subject 

matter experts, OSHA has decided to 

retain the current number of burden 

hours of 321,345 for this Information 

Collection Request. There are no 

adjustments or program changes. 

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 

requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Overhead and Gantry Cranes 

Standard (29 CFR 1910.179). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0224. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 31,495. 

Number of Responses: 642,566. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion; 

monthly; semi-annually. 

Average Time per Response: Varies. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

321,345.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, 

as part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the OMB for 

final approval. This program helps to 

ensure requested data can be provided 

in the desired format, reporting burden 

(time and financial resources) is 

minimized, collection instruments are 

clearly understood, and the impact of 

collection requirements can be properly 

assessed. 

This ICR seeks approval under the 

PRA for an extension of an existing 

collection titled Report of Changes That 

May Affect Your Black Lung Benefits 

(Forms CM–929 and CM–929P). These 

forms help determine continuing 

eligibility of primary beneficiaries 

receiving black lung benefits. The 

primary beneficiary or their 

representative payee is required to 

verify and update certain information 

that may affect entitlement to benefits, 

including changes to income, marital 

status, receipt of state workers’ 

compensation benefits, and their 

dependents’ status. While the 

information collected remains the same 

as in the currently approved collection, 

the updated forms add an electronic 

filing option. The Black Lung Benefits 

Act, 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., and its 

implementing regulations, 20 CFR 

725.513(a), 725.533(e), authorizes this 

information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 

936(a). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
