31232 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 109 / Monday, June 8, 1998 / Notices

helps to ensure that reporting burden

(time and financial resources) is

minimized, collection materials are

clearly understood, impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

accurately assessed, and requested data

can be provided in the desired format.

Currently, the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) is

soliciting comments concerning the

proposed extension of the information

collection requirements contained in 29

CFR 1926.550(a)(6). That standard

requires that written records be kept and

maintained of the dates and results of

all annual inspections of cranes and

derricks used in construction. These

inspections must be made by a

competent person, or by a government

or private agency recognized by the U.S.

Department of Labor.

The Agency is particularly interested

in comments that:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of OSHA’s

responsibilities, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

Agency’s estimates of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including the use of

appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology (for example,

permitting electronic submissions of

responses).

DATES: Written Comments must be

submitted on or before August 7, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments are to be

submitted to the Docket Office, Docket

ICR–98–14, U.S. Department of Labor,
