traveled entries require the weekly 

examiner to crawl on his hands and 

knees, preventing quick egress if 

necessary. 

(2) All air entering and leaving the 

affected area can be measured and 

evaluated safely from the proposed inlet 

and outlet evaluation points shown on 

the drawing attached to this petition. 

Access to the proposed inlet and outlet 

evaluation points is not hindered by 

roof falls or excessive floor heave, 

allowing quick egress if necessary. 

(3) There are no seals or electrical 

installations within the proposed 

evaluation area that must be examined. 

(4) In lieu of traveling one of the 

return entries in the proposed 

evaluation area, at least every 7 days, a 

certified person will: 

(a) Measure the air quantity at each 

inlet and outlet evaluation point. If the 

combined air quantity at the outlet 

evaluation points differs by more than 

20 percent from the combined air 

quantity at the inlet evaluation points, 

ventilation controls surrounding the 

affected area will be examined from the 

outby side and corrective measures will 

be implemented to repair the affected 

ventilation controls to restore the 

differential air quantities to within 20 

percent. 

(b) Measure the air quality at each 

inlet and outlet evaluation point. Both 

the methane and oxygen concentrations 

will be measured. Methane 

concentrations at the inlet and outlet 

evaluation points will be a minimum of 

19.5 percent. 

(c) Verify the proper air direction as 

indicated on the drawing at each inlet 

and outlet evaluation point. 

(d) Record the air quantity, air quality, 

and a notation of proper air direction at 

each inlet and outlet evaluation point in 

the weekly examination book. 

The petitioner asserts that the 

proposed alternative method will at all 

times guarantee no less than the same 

measure of protection as that afforded 

by the existing standard and that 

traveling one of the affected entries 

results in a diminution of safety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

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 accord 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 cost) 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 (the 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 VTL Standard for Marine 

Terminals (29 CFR part 1917) specifies 

the following collection of information 

requirements. The purpose of each of 

these requirements is to provide 

workers with safe work practices when 

conducting VTLs. 

Paragraph (i)(8)(iv) of § 1917.71 

requires employers to ensure that the 

interbox connectors used in VTLs have 

been certified by a competent authority 

authorized under § 1918.11 (for interbox 

connectors that are part of a vessel’s

transmissions. 

gear) or § 1917.50 (for other interbox 

connectors). Paragraph (i)(8)(v) requires 

employers to have a certificate available 

for inspection that attests that the 

interbox connector meets the strength 

criteria specified in paragraph (i)(8)(iv) 

of the standard. Also, paragraph 

(i)(8)(vi) requires that each interbox 

connector be clearly and durably 

marked with its safe working load for 

lifting, including an identifying number 

or mark that will enable it to be 

associated with its test certificate. 

The certification is necessary to 

ensure that interbox connector-corner 

casting assemblies have adequate 

strength to safely perform the lift. 

Marking of interbox connectors informs 

employers, workers, and OSHA that the 

interbox connectors have been certified. 

Paragraph (j)(2) of § 1917.71 requires 

the employer to develop, implement, 

and maintain a written plan for 

transporting vertically connected 

containers in the terminal. The transport 

plan helps ensure the safety of terminal 

workers and thereby enhances 

productivity. Paragraph (k)(2) of 

§ 1917.71 requires the written transport 

plan to identify a safe work zone within 

which workers are not permitted to be 

present when a VTL is in motion. 

Written plans give employers, 

workers, and OSHA compliance officers 

assurance that VTLs are safe to use and 

provide the compliance officers with an 

efficient means to assess employer 

compliance with the Standard. 

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 collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is proposing an adjustment 

decrease of the existing burden hour 

estimate for the collection of 

information requirement specified by 

the Standard from 560 hours to 512 

hours—a total decrease of 48 hours. 

Based on staff expertise with marine 

terminals, the Agency reduced the 

estimated number of marine terminals 

that use VTLs with updated 

establishment data from the North 

American Classification Information 

System (NACIS) retrieved from the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics http://

www.regulations.gov. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Vertical tandem Lifts (VTLs) for 

Marine Terminals (29 CFR part 1917). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0260. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; not-for-profit organizations; 

Federal Government; State, Local, or 

Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 128. 

Number of Responses: 128. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: The 

average time is 4 hours for employers to 

generate, develop, and maintain a 

written plan for transporting vertically 

coupled containers in a terminal. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 512. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0.
