Gear-Certification Forms (29 CFR Part 1919); Extension of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Approval of Information-Collection (Paperwork) Requirements

Riepilogo

OSHA solicits comments concerning its request to decrease the existing burden-hour estimates for, and to extend OMB approval of, the information-collection requirements specified in the gear-certification forms required by 29 CFR part 1919 ("Gear Certification"). The reference numbers and titles of these forms are 70 ("Application for Accreditation to Perform Gear Certification Functions"; Rev. July 1993), 71 ("Certificate of Unit Test and/or Examination of Crane, Derrick, or Other Material"; Rev. July 1993), and 72 ("Notice to Owner of Deficiencies Found on Certification Survey"; Rev. July 1993). The Agency believes these forms provide an effective and efficient means to apply for accreditation to certify material-handling devices used in marine terminals and longshoring, and for OSHA, employers, and employees to determine if these devices are safe to operate.
