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 cost) is minimal, collection

instruments are clearly understood, and

OSHA’s estimate of the informationcollection burden is correct.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 83 / Monday, April 30, 2001 / Notices 21415

In determining the paperwork

requirements specified in the standard

on Specifications for Accident

Prevention Signs and Tags (§ 1910.145;

hereafter the ‘‘Standard’’), the Agency

finds that paragraph (a)(2) requires

employers to use signs and tags that

conform to the design and wording

specifications contained in paragraphs

(d)(1) through (d)(10), (e)(2), (f)(4)(i)

through (f)(4)(iv), (f)(7), and (f)(8)(ii) of

the Standard. OSHA believes that, as a

usual and customary practice,

employers meet this requirement by

purchasing a supply of appropriate

signs and tags. Therefore, the Agency

concludes that no burden results from

this requirement because appropriate

signs and tags are readily available from

commercial sources. This conclusion

holds even for employers who don’t

make such purchases because OSHA

provides them with the specific wording

to use when fabricating their own signs

and tags.

The Agency notes that the Standard

does not contain requirements for

employers to post signs and tags.

Instead, other OSHA standards in part

1910 directly specify the posting

requirements for the signs and tags

described by this Standard. Therefore,

the Agency is removing the burden

hours previously attributed to posting

signs or tags under this Standard, and

will assign these burden hours more

appropriately to the standards that

directly require such posting.

OSHA is recognizing an additional

paperwork requirement that it

previously overlooked. The Standard

requires employers to select signs and

tags that are appropriate to the dangers

and hazards identified in the workplace;

paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (c)(2)(i), (c)(3),

(e)(4), (f)(3), (f)(5) through (f)(7), and

(f)(8)(i) specify the signs and tags that

employers must select for these dangers

and hazards. In addition, paragraphs

(d)(l) through (d)(10), (e)(2), (f)(4)(i)

through (f)(4)(iv), (f)(7), and (f)(8)(ii)

provide the design and wording

requirements for these signs and tags.

Therefore, employers must ensure that

the signs and tags selected are

appropriate for the identified dangers

and hazards and meet the design and

wording requirements of the Standard.

Accordingly, selecting appropriate signs

and tags represents a paperwork

requirement that incurs employer

burden hours and cost. However, the

Agency believes that this requirement

imposes minimal burden on most

employers because, after they initially

identify workplace dangers and hazards

and select the appropriate signs and

tags, the types of dangers and hazards

do not change significantly in most

workplaces (i.e., new or additional signs

and tags are necessary only for new

facilities or new or additional dangers or

hazards).

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 cost) 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 OMB approval, of the collectionof-information requirements specified

by the Standard. In this regard, the

Agency is proposing to decrease the

current burden-hour estimate from

30,225 hours to 5,600 hours, a total

reduction of 24,625 hours. The Agency

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

currently approved informationcollection requirement.

Prevention Signs and Tags (29 CFR

1910.145).
