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 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et 


rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 5, 2008 / Notices 6743 

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). 

The Standard specifies a number of 

paperwork requirements. The following 

sections describe who uses the 

information collected under each 

requirement as well as how they use it. 

The purpose of the requirements is to 

reduce employees’ risk of death or 

serious injury while working in grain 

handling facilities. 

Paragraph (d) of the Standard requires 

the employer to develop and implement 

an emergency action plan so that 

employees will be aware of the 

appropriate actions to take in the event 

of an emergency. 

Paragraph (e)(1) requires that 

employers provide training to 

employees at least annually and when 

changes in job assignment will expose 

them to new hazards. 

Paragraph (f)(1) requires the employer 

to issue a permit for all hot work. Under 

paragraph (f)(2) the permit shall certify 

that the requirements contained in 

1910.272(a) have been implemented 

prior to beginning the hot work 

operations and shall be kept on file until 

completion of the hot work operation. 

Paragraph (g)(1)(i) requires the 

employer to issue a permit for entering 

bins, silos, or tanks unless the employer 

or the employer’s representative is 

present during the entire operation. The 

permit shall certify that the precautions 

contained in paragraph (g) have been 

implemented prior to employees 

entering bins, silos or tanks and shall be 

kept on file until completion of the 

entry operations. 

Paragraph (g)(1)(ii) requires that the 

employer deenergize, disconnect, 

lockout and tag, block-off or otherwise 

prevent operation of all mechanical, 

electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic 

equipment which presents a danger to 

employees inside grain storage 

structures. 

Paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) require the 

employer to inform contractors 

performing work at the grain handling 

facility of known potential fire and 

explosion hazards related to the 

contractor’s work and work area and to 

explain to the contractor the applicable 

provisions of the emergency action plan. 

Paragraph (j)(1) requires the employer 

to develop and implement a written 

housekeeping program that establishes 

the frequency and method(s) 

determined best to reduce 

accumulations of fugitive grain dust on 

ledges, floors, equipment, and other 

exposed surfaces. 

Under paragraph (m)(1), the employer 

is required to implement preventive 

maintenance procedures consisting of 

regularly scheduled inspections of at 

least the mechanical and safety control 

equipment associated with dryers, grain 

stream processing equipment, dust 

collection equipment including filter 

collectors, and bucket elevators. 

Paragraph (m)(3) requires a certification 

be maintained of each inspection. 

Paragraph (m)(4) requires the employer 

to implement procedures for the use of 

tags and locks which will prevent the 

inadvertent application of energy or 

motion to equipment being repaired, 

serviced, or adjusted. 

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 

Standard on Grain Handling Facilities 

(29 CFR 1910.272). The Agency is 

requesting to reduce its current burden 

hour estimate associated with this 

Standard from 73,572 hours to 70,355 

hours for a total reduction of 3,217 

hours. 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: Grain Handling Facilities 

Standard (29 CFR 1910.272). 

OMB Number: 1218–0206. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 19,121. 

Total Responses: 1,343,420. 

Estimated Time per Response: Varies 

from 1 minute (.02 hour) to maintain 

certification records to 3 hours to 

modify action plans/housekeeping 

programs/tag and lock procedures. 

Total Burden Hours: 70,355. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0.

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 

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). 

The Subpart contains a number of 

paperwork requirements. The following 

paragraphs describe these requirements. 

Section 1910.401(b). Allows 

employers to deviate from the 

requirements of the Subpart to the 

extent necessary to prevent or minimize 

a situation that is likely to cause death, 

serious physical harm, or major 

environmental damage (but not 

situations in which purely economic or 

property damage is likely to occur). 

They must notify the OSHA Area 

Director within 48 hours of taking such 

action; this notification must describe 

the situation responsible for the 

deviation and the extent of the deviation 

from the requirements. On request of the 

Area Director, employers must submit 

this information in writing. 

Sections 1910.410(a)(3) and (a)(4). 

Paragraph (a)(3) requires employers to 

train all dive team members in 

cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first 

aid (i.e., the American Red Cross 

standard course or equivalent), while 

paragraph (a)(4) specifies that employers 

train dive team members exposed to 

hyperbaric conditions, or who control 

exposure of other employees to such 

conditions, in diving-related physics 

and physiology. 

Sections 1910.420(a). Under 

paragraph (a), employers must develop 

and maintain a safe practices manual 

and make it available to each dive team 

member at the dive location. In 

addition, for each diving mode used at 

the dive location, the manual must 

contain: Safety procedures and 

checklists for diving operations; 

assignments and responsibilities of the 

dive team members; equipment 

procedures and checklists; and 

emergency procedures for fire, 

equipment failures, adverse 

environmental conditions, and medical 

illness and injury. 

Section 1910.421(b). Under this 

provision, employers are to keep at the 

dive location a list of telephone or call 

numbers for the following emergency 

facilities and services: An operational 

decompression chamber (if such a 

chamber is not at the dive location); 

accessible hospitals; available 

physicians and means of emergency 

transportation; and the nearest U.S. 

Coast Guard Rescue Coordination 

Center. 

Section 1910.421(f). Requires 

employers to brief dive team members
