documentation; including among other things a description of the likely

may be obtained from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain

Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: John Kraemer, OMB Desk
Officer for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503,
Telephone: 202-395-7316/Fax: 202-395-6974 (these are not a toll-free
numbers), E-mail: OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov within 30 days from the
date of this publication in the Federal Register. In order to ensure
the appropriate consideration, comments should reference the OMB Control
Number (see below).
The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Agency: Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a previously approved
collection.
Title: Cranes and Derricks Standard for Construction (29 CFR
1926.550).
OMB Control Number: 1218-0113.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 91,997.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 103,076.
Estimated Total Annual Costs Burden: $570,074.
Description: The Cranes and Derricks Standard at 29 CFR 1926.550
and its information collection requirements protect employees who
operate, or work near, cranes or derricks. The Standard contains
posting and certification requirements. These requirements ensure
employees will operate cranes or derricks according to the crane/
derricks limitations and specifications and that the machinery is
properly functioning.
Agency: Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a previously approved
collection.
Title: Logging Operations (29 CFR 1910.266).
OMB Control Number: 1218-0198.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other for-profits and
farms.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 11,447.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 31,286.
Estimated Total Annual Costs Burden: $0.
Description: Title 29 CFR 1910.266(i)(10)(i) specifies that
employers engaging in logging operations must provide written
certification that employees and supervisors completed certain required
training, including first-aid training, while paragraph (i)(10)(ii)
mandates that employers retain these certificates until replaced by
more recent certificates. Establishing and maintaining this written
certification of training assures the employer that the training
specified by the Standard has been conducted, and at the required
frequencies. In addition, these records provide the most efficient
means for an OSHA compliance officer to determine whether an employer
conducted the required training at the necessary and appropriate
frequencies.

Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
