Requests.’’

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–95) (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 informationcollection burden is correct.

Paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) of the

Anhydrous Ammonia Standard have

paperwork requirements that apply to

nonrefrigerated containers and systems

and refrigerated containers,

respectively; employers use these

containers and systems to store and

transfer anhydrous ammonia in the

workplace. Paragraph (b)(3) specifies

that systems have nameplates if

required, and that these nameplates ‘‘be

permanently attached to the system so

as to be readily accessible for

inspection. * * *’’ In addition, this

paragraph requires that markings on

containers and systems covered by

paragraphs (c) (‘‘Systems utilizing

stationary, nonrefrigerated storage

containers’’), (f) (‘‘Tank Motor vehicles

for the transportation of ammonia’’), (g)

(‘‘Systems mounted on farm vehicles

other than for the application of

ammonia’’), and (h) (‘‘Systems mounted

on farm vehicles for the application of

ammonia’’) provide information

regarding nine specific characteristics of

the containers and systems. Similarly,

paragraph (b)(4) states that information

regarding eight specific characteristics

of each container ‘‘shall be on the

container itself or on a nameplate

permanently attached to it.’’

The required makings ensure that

employers use only properly designed

and tested containers and systems to

store anhydrous ammonia, thereby

preventing accidental release of, and

exposure of employees to, this highly

toxic and corrosive substance. In

addition, these requirements provide

the most efficient means for an OSHA

compliance officer to ensure that the

containers and systems are safe.

II. Special Issues for Comment

OSHA has a particular interest in

comments on the following issues:

• Whether the proposed informationcollection 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 proposes to decrease the

existing burden-hour estimate, and to

extend the Office of Management and

Budget’s (OMB) approval, of the

collection-of-information requirements

specified in paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4)

of the Anhydrous Ammonina Standard

(29 CFR 1910.111). In this regard, the

Agency is propossing to decrease the

current burden-hour estimate from

2,500 hours to 53 hours, a total

reduction of 2,447 hours. OSHA will

summarize the comments submitted in

response to this notice, and will include

this summary in its request to OMB to

extend the approval of these

information-collection requirements.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently-approved informationcollection requirement.

Title: Paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) of

the Anhydrous Ammonia Standard (29

CFR 1910.111).

OMB Number: 1218–0208.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; farms;

Federal government; State, local or

tribal governments.

Number of Respondents: 330.

Frequency: Occasionally.

Average Time per Response: 10

minutes (0.16 hours).

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 53

hours.
