SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 9, 2018, OSHA published the Cranes and Derricks in Construction: Operator Qualification final rule, revising 29 CFR part 1926, subpart CC. The standard contains new and revised information collection requirements. These requirements are contained in the Information Collection Request (ICR) under control number 1218-0270, which OSHA included in the final rule published in the Federal Register (83 FR 56242-43). OSHA sought OMB approval of these requirements under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), and OMB approved the ICR on February 11, 2019. As required by OMB's regulations implementing that Act, this notice is announcing the approval for these requirements and adding the OMB control number 1218-0270 to the list of approved construction standard ICR requirements that is maintained in 29 CFR 1926.5 (see 5 CFR 1320.3(f)). A copy of the approved ICR is available at https://www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAViewDocument?​ref_​nbr=​201809-1218-001.

The public has already had the opportunity to comment on the information collection requirements and OMB has approved them. This announcement is to increase public awareness of OMB's approval of the information collection requirements.
