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 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
52038 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 163 / Tuesday, August 24, 2010 / Notices 

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 OSH 

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). 

Section 1910.255(e) requires that a 

periodic inspection of resistance 

welding equipment be made by 

qualified maintenance personnel, and 

that a certification record be generated 

and maintained. The certification shall 

include the date of the inspection, the 

signature of the person who performed 

the inspection and the serial number, or 

other identifier, for the equipment 

inspected. The record shall be made 

available to an OSHA inspector upon 

request. The maintenance inspection 

ensures that welding equipment is in 

safe operating condition while the 

maintenance record provides evidence 

to workers and Agency compliance 

officers that employers performed the 

required inspections. 

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 Welding, Cutting and 

Brazing (29 CFR part 1910, subpart Q). 

The Agency is requesting to reduce its 

current burden hour estimate associated 

with this Standard from 5,994 hours to 

5,935 hours for a total reduction of 59 

hours. The reduction is a result of a 

decrease in the estimated number of 

resistance welders. The Agency will 

summarize any 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: Welding, Cutting and Brazing 

(29 CFR part 1910, subpart Q). 

OMB Number: 1218–0207. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 42,328. 

Frequency: On occasion; 

Semiannually. 

Average Time per Response: Varies 

from 1 minute (.02 hour) to maintain the 

inspection certification record to 7 

minutes (.12 hour) to perform the 

inspection and to generate and maintain 

the inspection certification record. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,935. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0.
