SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Department of Labor, as part of its 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-95) (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, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the 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 efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Manufacturer's Certification of Modifications (Sec.
1910.67(b)(2)). The Standard requires that when aerial lifts are
``field modified'' for uses other than those intended by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer or other equivalent entity, such as a
nationally recognized testing laboratory, must certify in writing that
the modification is in conformity with all applicable provisions of
ANSI A92.2-1969 and the OSHA standard and that the modified aerial lift
is at least as safe as the equipment was before modification. Employers
are to maintain the certification record and make it available to OSHA
compliance officers upon request. This record provides assurance to
employers, workers, and compliance officers that the modified aerial
lift is safe for use, thereby preventing failure while workers are
being elevated. The certification record also provides the most
efficient means for the compliance officers to determine that an
employer is complying with the Standard.

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,
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
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

There are no adjustments or program changes associated with this
package.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Title: Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Work Platforms
(Aerial Lifts) (29 CFR 1910.67).
OMB Control Number: 1218-0230.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 1,000.
Number of Responses: 1,000.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Average Time per Response: Various.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 20.
Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
