OSHA is proposing to publish a safety standard for the construction industry that regulates confined spaces. Employers and employees would use the collections of information whenever they identify a confined space at a constructions site. The collections of information permit employers and employees to systematically evaluate the dangers and hazards in confined spaces before, during, and subsequent to entering the confined spaces, thereby ensuring that the spaces are safe for entry, and remain safe during entry.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
