The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease in the burden hours associated with the Crawler, Locomotive, and Truck Cranes Standard (29 CFR 1910.180) from 174,062 burden hours to 30,452 hours (a total adjustment decrease of 143,610 burden hours). The decrease occurred when more recent data showed that there were fewer cranes used in general industry than estimated in the previous Information Collection Request. According to the Preliminary Economic Analysis for the proposed rule on Cranes and Derricks in Construction (73 FR 59714), there are 34,994 cranes operating in the general industry sector annually. OSHA estimates that, at most, 10% of these cranes (3,499) are crawler, locomotive, and truck cranes.
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.
