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 reduce employees’ 

risk of death or serious injury by 

ensuring that forging machines used by 

them are in safe operating condition, 

and that employees are able to clearly 

and properly identify manually 

operated valves and switches. 

Inspection of Forging Machines, Guards, 

and Point-of-Operation Protection 

Devices (Paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and 

(a)(2)(ii)) 

Paragraph (a)(2)(i) requires employers 

to establish periodic and regular 

maintenance safety checks, and to 

develop and maintain a certification 

record of each inspection. The 

certification record must include the 

date of inspection, the signature of the 

person who performed the inspection, 

and the serial number (or other 

identifier) of the forging machine 

inspected. Under paragraph (a)(2)(ii), 

employers are to schedule regular and 

frequent inspections of guards and 

point-of-operation protection devices 

and prepare a certification record of 

each inspection that contains the date of 

the inspection, and the serial number 

(or other identifier) of the equipment 

inspected. These inspection certification 

records provide assurance to employers, 

employees, and OSHA compliance 

officers that forging machines, guards, 

and point-of-operation protection 

devices have been inspected, and will 

operate properly and safely, to prevent 

impact injury and death to employees 

during forging operations. These records 

also provide the most efficient means 

for the compliance officers to determine 

that an employer is complying with the 

Standard. 

Identification of Manually Controlled 

Valves and Switches (Paragraphs (c), 

(h)(3), (i)(1) and (i)(2)) 

These paragraphs require proper and 

clear identification of manually 

operated valves and switches on 

presses, up setter, bolt heading 

equipment, and rivet-making machines, 

respectively. Marking valves and 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 72 / Friday, April 12, 2024 / Notices 25903 

switches provide information to 

employees to ensure that they operate 

the forging machines correctly and 

safely. The agency determined that it is 

usual and customary for manufacturers 

to mark (for example, ‘‘On’’ and ‘‘Off,’’ 

and ‘‘Open’’ and ‘‘Close,’’ etc.) all 

manually controlled valves and 

switches to meet the requirements of the 

American National Standards Institute’s 

(ANSI) standards. Therefore, OSHA is 

taking no burden hours or cost for these 

paperwork requirements. 

Disclosure of Records 

OSHA determined that employers 

disclosing information to OSHA during 

an inspection is outside the scope of the 

PRA because OSHA would only review 

records in the context of an open 

investigation of a particular employer to 

determine compliance with the 

Standard. See 5 CFR 1320.4(a)(2). 

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 

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 the 

Forging Machines Standard. The agency 

is requesting that the burden hours of 

384,107 remains the same. 

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.

currently approved collection.
