III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

MET submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of its scope of 

recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file, and pertinent 

documentation, indicate that MET can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding its 

recognition to include the addition of 

these seventeen test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed in Table 

1. This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of MET’s application. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether MET meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its 

recognition as a NRTL. Comments 

should consist of pertinent written 

documents and exhibits. Commenters 

needing more time to comment must 

submit a request in writing, stating the 

reasons for the request. Commenters 

must submit the written request for an 

extension by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if the request is 

not adequately justified. To obtain or 

review copies of the exhibits identified 

in this notice, as well as comments 

submitted to the docket, contact the 

Docket Office, at the above address. 

These materials also are available online 

at https://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2006–0028. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner and, after addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, will make a 

recommendation to the Assistant 

Secretary for Occupational Safety and 

Health whether to grant MET’s 

application for expansion of its scope of 

recognition. The Assistant Secretary 

will make the final decision on granting 

the application. In making this decision, 

the Assistant Secretary may undertake 

other proceedings prescribed in 

Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. 

OSHA will publish a public notice of 

its final decision in the Federal 

Register.

INFORMATION.

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, 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). 

Falls are a leading cause of death for 

employees. According to 2019 Bureau of 

Labor Statistics (BLS) data, falls 

accounted for 418 of the 1,061 

construction fatalities, and 880 of the 

5,333 fatalities in all recorded 

industries. The National Fall Safety 

Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in 

Construction raises fall hazard 

awareness across the country in an 

effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries. 

The Stand-Down is the biggest safety 

outreach event ever conducted by the 

agency. OSHA has collaborated with 

countless industry leaders and 

employers over the last eight years to 

reach over 10 million workers during 

Stand-Downs. 

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, 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 

approve the information collection 

requirements contained in the National 

Fall Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls 

in Construction (29 U.S.C. 669). In this 

information collection request, there are 

4,500 respondents for an Occupational 

Health and Safety Specialists with 750 

total burden hours. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Title: National Fall Safety StandDown to Prevent Falls in Construction. 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0271. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 4,500. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

Average Time per Response: OSHA 

estimates an employer will take 10 

minutes to complete the survey. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 750. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0.
