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 (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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
44776 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 148 / Thursday, July 31, 2008 / Notices 

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 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). 

Test Records for Hooks (paragraph 

1915.113(b)(1)). This paragraph requires 

that the manufacturer’s 

recommendations be followed in 

determining the safe working loads of 

the various sizes and types of hooks. If 

the manufacturer’s recommendations 

are not available, the hook must be 

tested to twice the intended safe 

working load before it is initially put 

into use. The employer must maintain 

and keep readily available a certification 

record which includes the date of such 

test, the signature of the person who 

performed the test, and the identifier for 

the hook which was tested. 

The records are used to assure that 

equipment has been properly tested. 

The records also provide the most 

efficient means for the compliance 

officers to determine that an employer is 

complying with the Standard. 

Examination and Test Records for 

Unfired Pressure Vessels (paragraph 

1915.172(d)). This paragraph requires 

that portable, unfired pressure vessels 

not built to the requirements of the 

American Society of Mechanical 

Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel 

Code, Section VIII, Rules for 

Construction of Unfired Pressure 

Vessels, 1963 be examined quarterly by 

a competent person and subjected to a 

yearly hydrostatic pressure test. A 

certification record of such 

examinations and tests shall be 

maintained. 

The records are used to assure that 

equipment has been properly tested. 

The records also provide the most 

efficient means for the compliance 

officers to determine that an employer is 

complying with the Standard. OSHA 

does not believe that there are any 

unfired pressure vessels not built to the 

requirements of the American Society of 

Mechanical Engineers Boiler and 

Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, 

Rules for Construction of Unfired 

Pressure Vessels, 1963 currently in use. 

However, for purposes of completing 

this ICR, the Agency is calculating 

burden and cost for this provision. 

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 extend 

its approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Shipyard Employment Standards (29 

CFR 1915.113(b)(1) and 29 CFR 

1915.172(d)). OSHA is proposing to 

decrease the existing burden hour 

estimate for the collection of 

information requirements specified by 

the Standards from 3,520 hours to 2,137 

hours, a total decrease of 383 hours. 

This proposed adjustment decrease is a 

result of a decline in the number of 

establishments from 717 to 639 based on 

updated data. 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: Shipyard Employment 

Standards (29 CFR 1915.113(b)(1) and 

29 CFR 1915.172(d)). 

OMB Number: 1218–0220. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit organizations; 

Federal Government; State, Local, or

Number of Respondents: 639. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, 

Quarterly, On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Varies 

from 2 minutes (.03 hour) to maintain a 

certification record to 35 minutes (.58 

hour) to obtain certain information from 

a manufacturer. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 3,137. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0.

Abstract 

Section 10 of the National Science 

Foundation Act of 1950 (42 U.S.C. 1861 

et seq.), as amended, states that ‘‘The 

Foundation is authorized to award, 

within the limits of funds made 

available * * * scholarships and 

graduate fellowships for scientific study 

or scientific work in the mathematical 

physical, medical, biological, 

engineering, social, and other sciences 

at appropriate nonprofit American or 

nonprofit foreign institutions selected 

by the recipient of such aid, for stated 

periods of time.’’

The Foundation Fellowship Programs 

are designed to meet the following 

objectives: 

• To assure that some of the Nation’s 

most talented students in the sciences 

obtain the education necessary to 

become creative and productive 

scientific researchers. 

• To train or upgrade advanced 

scientific personnel to enhance their 

abilities as teachers and researchers. 

• To promote graduate education in 

the sciences, mathematics, and 

engineering at institutions that have 

traditionally served ethnic minorities. 

• To encourage pursuit of advanced 

science degrees by students who are 

members of ethnic groups traditionally 

under-represented in the Nation’s 

advanced science personnel pool. 

The list of fellowship award programs 

sponsored by the Foundation may be 

found via FastLane through the NSF 

Web site: http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov. 

Estimate of Burden: These are annual 

award programs with application
