30954 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 111 / Friday, June 8, 2001 / Notices

serves as the basis for accrediting the

applicant to certify the devices for safe

operation. Once accredited, OSHA

designates the applicant as an

‘‘accredited person.’’

Under paragraph (a) and (b) of

§ 1919.90 (‘‘Documentation’’), if an

accredited person tests and examines a

material-handling device and finds that

it is in compliance with applicable

Agency requirements, they must certify

the device using a form approved by

OSHA; currently, the Agency authorizes

accredited persons to use of form 71 to

certify these devices. Form 71 collects

the following information: Name of the

device’s owner; a description of the

device (i.e., type, manufacturer, model,

serial number, owner’s identification (if

any), and boom length and type); the

location of the device; service status

(i.e., lifting, clamshell, magnet, or

other); test loads applied (i.e., radius,

proof loads, rated loads, means used to

apply the proof load, and the basis for

assigning load ratings), remarks and

limitations; presence of fitted and nonfitted devices indicating load or limit,

including the accuracy of these devices;

the name and address of the accredited

or otherwise authorized organization

conducting the test and/or examination;

the name, address, and signature of the

authorized person conducting the test

and/or examination; the position of the

signatory in the organization conducting

the test and/or examination; and the

certification date. This information is

necessary to accurately identify the

certified device, ensure that it

underwent proper testing and

examination, specify any operating

limitations, and ensure that an

authorized person conducted the tests

and examinations and provided

certification. Accordingly, form 71

assures employers and employees that

an accredited person properly

administered the applicable testing and

examination requirements and found

the device safe to operate under the

conditions specified in the certificate.

The Agency adopted form 72 in

response to paragraph (a) of § 1919.12

(‘‘Recordkeeping and Related

Procedures Concerning Records in

Custody of the Vessel’’), which requires

completion and maintenance of a

register that describes detailed findings

of inspections and examinations

conducted under specified provisions of

29 CFR part 1919. While form 71

provides findings that support

certification of material-lifting devices,

OSHA approved form 72 to document

deficiencies found during a certification

survey. The information requested by

form 72 includes: Name of the device’s

owner; identification, location, and

specific description of the device; a

detailed description of each deficiency

found during the survey; and the same

information regarding the accredited or

otherwise authorized organization,

authorized person, and signatory

conducting the test and/or examination

contained on form 71. Similar to form

71, the information on this form permits

employers and employees to readily

identify deficient material-lifting

devices and to avoid operating them. In

addition, form 72 informs mechanics

regarding the servicing and repair

problems of deficient devices. Prior to

returning a device to service, employers

can review the form to ensure that the

mechanics performed the necessary

repairs and maintenance.

Taken together, forms 71 and 72

ensure that employers use only devices

that are in safe working order, thereby

preventing serious injury and death to

operators and other employees who use

or work near the devices. These forms

also provide the most efficient means

for an OSHA compliance officer to

determine the operating status of a

device and that employers are using

only properly certified devices.

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 is requesting a decrease in the

existing burden-hour estimate for, as

well as an extension of OMB approval

of, the collection-of-information

requirements specified in its gearcertification forms 70, 71, and 72.

Accordingly, the Agency is requesting to

decrease the current burden-hour

estimate from 93 hours to 76 hours, a

total reduction of 17 hours. This

reduction occurred because of a

decrease in the time estimated for

employers to provide forms 71 and 72

to an OSHA compliance officer during

an inspection. The Agency will

summarize the comments submitted in

response to this notice, and will include

this summary in its request to OMB to

extend its approval of these

information-collection requirements.

Type of Review: Extension of

currently approved informationcollection requirements.

Title: Gear-Certification Forms.

OMB Number: 1218–0003.

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

government; State, local or tribal

governments.

Number of Respondents: 80.

Frequency of Response:

Quadrennially; annually.

Average Time per Response: Varies

from 2 minutes (.03 hour) for an

employer to retrieve a copy of form 71

or 72 during an OSHA inspection to 45

minutes (.75 hour) for an applicant to

complete form 70.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 76.

Estimated Cost (Operation and

Maintenance): $713,181.

IV. Authority and Signature

R. Davis Layne, Acting Assistant

Secretary of Labor for Occupational

Safety and Health, directed the

preparation of this notice. The authority

for this notice is the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506)
