Electrical Standards for Construction;

Information Collection Requirements

ACTION: Notice, Opportunity for public

comment.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden,

conducts a preclearance consultation

program to provide the general pubic

and Federal agencies with an

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This

program helps to ensure that requested
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 148 / Monday, August 3, 1998 / Notices 41299

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Currently the

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

extension of the information collection

requirements contained in the Electrical

Standards for Construction (29 CFR part

1926, Subpart K). The Agency is

particularly interested in comments

which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the Agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

Agency’s estimate 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 through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g, permitting electronic submissions of

responses.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted on or before October 2, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments are to be

submitted to the Docket Office, Docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Occupational Safety and Health

Act of 1970 (the Act) authorizes the

promulgation of such health and safety

standards as are necessary or

appropriate to provide safe or healthful

employment and places of employment.

The statute specially authorizes

information collection by employers as

necessary or appropriate for the

enforcement of the Act or for developing

information regarding the causes and

prevention of occupational injuries,

illnesses, and accidents.

The written description of the

Assured Equipment Grounding

Conductor Program (AEGP) required by

§ 1926.404(b)(1)(iii) allows employers,

employees, and OSHA compliance

officers to determine how the

requirements of the standard are being

met, including the method of recording

tests. For example, the employer’s

written program might specify the use of

yellow tape to color code every tool and

cord set. By referring to the written

program, OSHA compliance officers and

other persons can easily determine if the

employer is complying with the

program.

The posting of warning signs enables

employees to avoid accidental contact of

electrical equipment used on

construction sites. Contact with

unguarded live electrical parts,

especially at high voltage, can be

hazardous to employees.

The tagging of controls, equipment

and circuits is intended to prevent the

inadvertent reactivation of the controls,

equipment and circuits while they are

being serviced.
