SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Title 30 CFR 56.13015 and 57.13015

require compressed-air receivers and

other unfired pressure vessels be

inspected by inspectors holding a valid

National Board Commission and in

accordance with the applicable chapters

of the National Board Inspection Code,

a manual for Boiler and Pressure Vessels

Inspectors, 1979.

Title 30 CFR 56.13030 and 57.13030

require that fired pressure vessels

(boilers) be equipped with safety

devices approved by the American

Society of Mechanical Engineers

(ASME) to protect against hazards from

overpressure, flameouts, fuel

interruptions and low water level. 56/

57.13030 require that records of

inspections and repairs be retained by

the mine operator in accordance with

the requirements of the ASME Boiler

and Pressure Vessel Code and the

National Board Inspection Code

(progressive records—no limit on

retention time) and made available to

the Secretary or his/her authorized

representative.

Title 30 CFR 56.14100 and 57.14100

require equipment operators to inspect

equipment, machinery, and tools that

are to be used during a shift for safety

defects before the equipment is placed

in operation. Defects affecting safety are

required to be corrected in a timely

manner. In instances where the defect

makes continued operation of the

equipment unsafe, the standards require

removal from service, tagging to identify

that it is out of use, and repair before

use is resumed.

Title 30 CFR 56.18002 and 57.180002

require that a competent person

designated by the operator shall

examine each working place at least

once each shift for conditions which

may adversely affect safety or health. A

record that such examinations were

conducted shall be kept by the operator

for a period of one year, and shall be

made available for review by the

Secretary or his/her authorized

representative.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

extension of the information collection

related to the Safety Defects,

Examination, Correction, and Records.

MSHA is particularly interested in

comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technolgy,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses. A copy of the proposed

information collection request may be

viewed on the Internet by accessing the

MSHA Home Page (http://

www.msha.go) and selecting ‘‘Statutory

and Regulatory Information’’ then

‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act submission

(http://www.msha.gov/regspwork.htm)’’,

or by contacting the employee listed

above in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this notice for a hard

copy.

denote any hazards that were

discovered and how the hazards or

unsafe conditions were abated. Federal

inspectors use the records to ensure that

unsafe conditions are identified early

and corrected.

Type of Review: Extension.

1919); Extension of the Office of

Management and Budget’s (OMB)

Approval of Information-Collection

(Paperwork) Requirements

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice of an opportunity for

public comment.

SUMMARY: OSHA solicits comments

concerning its request to decrease the

existing burden-hour estimates for, and

to extend OMB approval of, the

information-collection requirements

specified in the gear-certification forms

required by 29 CFR part 1919 (‘‘Gear

Certification’’). The reference numbers

and titles of these forms are 70

(‘‘Application for Accreditation to

Perform Gear Certification Functions’’;

Rev. July 1993), 71 (‘‘Certificate of Unit

Test and/or Examination of Crane,

Derrick, or Other Material’’; Rev. July

1993), and 72 (‘‘Notice to Owner of

Deficiencies Found on Certification

Survey’’; Rev. July 1993). The Agency

believes these forms provide an effective

and efficient means to apply for

accreditation to certify materialhandling devices used in marine

terminals and longshoring, and for

OSHA, employers, and employees to

determine if these devices are safe to

operate.

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 understandable, and

OSHA’s estimate of the informationcollection burden is correct. The

Occupational Safety and Health Act of

1970 authorizes information collection

by employers as necessary or

appropriate for enforcement of the Act

or for developing information regarding

the causes and prevention of

occupational injuries, illnesses, and

accidents. (29 U.S.C. 657.)

The provisions of 29 CFR part 1919

(‘‘Gear Certification’’) require the use of

three gear-certification forms. The

reference numbers and titles of these

forms are 70 (‘‘Application for

Accreditation to Perform Gear

Certification Functions’’; Rev. July

1993), 71 (‘‘Certificate of Unit Test and/

or Examination of Crane, Derrick, or

Other Material’’; Rev. July 1993), and 72

(‘‘Notice to Owner of Deficiencies

Found on Certification Survey’’; Rev.

July 1993).

Paragraph (a) of § 1919.3

(‘‘Application for Accreditation’’)

specifies that a person (i.e., an

individual, partnership, corporation,

agency, association, or organization)

seeking accreditation from OSHA to test

and examine material-handling devices

as required by parts 1917 (‘‘Marine

Terminals’’) and 1918 (‘‘Longshoring’’)

must file an application form provided

by the Agency; OSHA currently uses

form 70 for this purpose. The form

collects principally information

regarding the applicant’s past

experience in testing and examining

material-handling devices. This

Information is necessary for the Agency

to evaluate the applicant’s competence

to test and examine these devices, and
