SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
the Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Work Platforms Standard
information collection. This collection requires an Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA Act) covered employer, subject to the
Standard, to obtain a written certification of any field modification
made to aerial lifts. Such a certification must be prepared in writing
either by the manufacturer of the aerial lift or by a nationally
recognized laboratory. This certification is to attest to the safety of
the lift after modifications. OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 8(c)
authorize this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655,
and 657(c).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection
under Control Number 1218-0230.
The DOL seeks to extend PRA authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For additional substantive information about
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on
February 20, 2018 (83 FR 7235).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number
[[Page 31424]]
1218-0230. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
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.
