OSHA solicits public comment concerning its request for an extension of the information collection requirements specified by its standards on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Shipyard Employment (29 CFR part 1915, subpart I).
You may submit comments, identified by OSHA Docket No. ICR-1218-0215(2006), by any of the following methods:

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 Act) (29 U.S.C. 615 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 Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small business, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Part 1915 subpart I specifies several paperwork requirements.[1] The following describe the information collection requirements:
Hazard Assessment and Verification (29 CFR 1915.152(b)). Paragraph (b) requires that the employer assess work activities to determine whether there are hazards present, or likely to be present, which necessitate the employee's use of PPE. If such hazards are present, or likely to be present, the employer must: (1) Select the type of PPE that will protect the affected employee from the hazards identified in the occupational hazard assessment; (2) communicate selection decisions to affected employees; (3) select PPE that properly fits each affected employee; and (4) verify that the required occupational hazard assessment has been performed. The verification document must contain the following information: Occupation, the date(s) of the hazard assessment, and the name of the person performing the hazard assessment.
Training and Verification (29 CFR 1915.152(e)). Paragraph (e)(1) requires that the employer provide training to each employee who is required to use PPE and paragraph (e)(3) requires retraining under certain circumstances. Paragraph (e)(4) requires that the employer verify that each affected employee has received the PPE training. The verification must contain the following information: Name of each employee trained, the date(s) of training, and the type of training the employee received.
The part 1915 standards on PPE protection for the eyes and face (§ 1915.153), head (§ 1915.155), feet (§ 1915.156), hands and body (§ 1915.157), lifesaving equipment (§ 1915.158), personal fall arrest systems (§ 1915.159), and positioning device systems (§ 1915.160) do not contain any separate information collections requirements.
OSHA is requesting OMB to extend their approval of the collection of information requirements contained in the standards on Personal Protective Equipment for Shipyard Employment (29 CFR part 1915, subpart I). The Agency is requesting an increase in burden hours for the existing collection of information requirements from 1,761 to 2,041 (a total increase of 280 hours). The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice, and will include this summary in its request to OMB.
Title: Personal Protective Equipment Standards for Shipyard Employment (29 CFR part 1915, subpart I).
Affected Public: Business or other-for-profits; Federal Government; State, local, or tribal government.
Average Time per Response: Varies from one minute (.02 hour) to maintain training documentation to 5 minutes (.08 hour) to document a hazard reassement.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2,041.
