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 purpose of these requirements is 

to address truck design, construction, 

and modification, as well as 

certification of training and evaluation 

for truck operators. 

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 to protect workers, 

including whether the information is 

useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 37 / Friday, February 23, 2024 / Notices 13753 

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, and 

transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend 

the approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in 

Powered Industrial Trucks Standard. 

The agency is requesting an adjustment 

decrease from 450,022 hours to 437,198 

hours, a difference of 12,824 hours. This 

decrease is due to the decrease in the 

number of powered industrial trucks 

from 1,276,055 to 1,239,687. 

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: Powered Industrial Trucks 

Standard. 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0242. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 1,859,532. 

Number of Responses: 2,451,112. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Varies. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

437,198. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $272.844.
