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 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 (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). 

Falls are a leading cause of death for 

employees. According to 2015 Bureau of 

Labor Statistics (BLS) data, falls 

accounted for 350 of the 937 

construction fatalities, and 648 of the 

4,836 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 four years to 

reach over 7.5 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). OSHA 

is proposing a burden hour estimate of 

seven hundred sixty-five (765) hours. 

The Agency will summarize the 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice and will include this summary in 

the request to OMB. 

Type of Review: New. 

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

OMB Control Number: 1218–0NEW. 

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: 765. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $37,118.

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 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 (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 efforts in 

obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

Under the paperwork requirements 

specified by paragraph (c) of the 

Standard, an employer must certify that 

his or her workers have been trained as 

specified by the training provision of 

the Standard. Specifically, employers 

must prepare a certification record 

which includes the identity of the 

person trained, the signature of the 

employer or the person who conducted 

the training, and the date the training 

was completed. The certification record 

shall be prepared at the completion of 

training and shall be maintained on file 

for the duration of the employee’s 

employment. The information collected 

will be used by employers as well as by 

compliance officers to determine 

whether employees have been trained 

according to the requirements set forth 

in 29 CFR 1910.268(c). 

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

• 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 extend 

its approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Standard on Telecommunications (29 

CFR 1910.268). The burden hours have 

decreased based on the reduced number 

of telecommunication workers installing 

and repairing lines and equipment from 

215,810 to 205,360. Therefore, the 

Agency is proposing to decrease the 

existing burden hour estimate for the 

collection of information requirements 

specified by the Standard from 4,532 to 

3,765 (difference of 767 hours). The 

Agency will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Telecommunications (29 CFR 

1910.268). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0225. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 35,742. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Average Time Per Response: Various. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 3,765. 

Total Responses: 205,360.
