SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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)
(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, the collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (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 effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to reduce employees’
risk of death and serious injury by
ensuring that employment has been
tested and is in safe operating condition.
Two construction standards, ‘‘Medical
Services and First Aid’’ (section
1926.50), and ‘‘General Requirements
for Storage’’ (section 1926.250), contain
posting provisions. Paragraph (f) of
section 1926.50 requires employers to
conspicuously post emergency
telephone numbers for physicians,
hospitals, or ambulances at their
worksites if 911 emergency telephone
service is not locally available; in the
event that a worker has a serious injury
at a worksite, this posting requirement
helps expedite emergency medical
treatment of the worker. Paragraph (a)(2)
of section 1926.250 specifies that
employers must post the maximum safe
load limits of floors located in storage
areas inside buildings or other
structures under construction, unless

E:\FR\FM\02DEN1.SGM

02DEN1

95246

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 231 / Monday, December 2, 2024 / Notices

the floors or slabs are on grade (sitting
on the ground). This provision prohibits
employers from overloading floors in
areas used to store material and
equipment where a structure’s floors are
not supported directly by the ground.
This requirement is intended to prevent
floor collapses which could seriously
injure or kill workers.
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 to protect workers,
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, and
transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Construction Standards on Posting
Emergency Telephone Numbers and
Maximum Safe Floor Load Limits. The
agency is requesting an adjustment
increase in burden from 55,184 to
65,283 hours, a difference of 10,099
hours. This increase is due to an
increase in the number of construction
sites, going from 885,922 to 937,602.
OSHA will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Construction Standards on
Posting Emergency Telephone Numbers
and Maximum Safe Floor Load Limits.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0093.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 937,602.
Number of Responses: 181,198.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
65,283.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
