The OMB is particularly interested in comments which: • Evaluate whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. *Agency:* Occupational Safety and Health Administration. *Type of Review:* Extension without change of a previously approved collection. *Title of Collection:* Construction Fall Protection Systems Criteria and Practices (29 CFR 1926.502) and Training Requirements (29 CFR 1926.502). *OMB Control Number:* 1218-0197. *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profits. *Total Estimated Number of Respondents:* 379,305. *Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours:* 457,108. *Total Estimated Annual Costs Burden (excludes hourly wage costs):* $0. *Description:* The Standards on Construction Fall Protection Systems Criteria and Practices (29 CFR 1926.502) and Training Requirements (29 CFR 1926.503) ensure that employers provide the required fall protection for their workers. Accordingly, these standards have the following paperwork requirements: Paragraphs (c)(4)(ii) and
(k)of 29 CFR 1926.502, which specify certification of safety nets and development of fall protection plans, respectively, and paragraph
(b)of 29 CFR 1926.502, which requires employers to certify training records. The training certification requirement specified in paragraph
(b)of 29 CFR 1926.503 documents the training provided to workers potentially exposed to fall hazards. A competent person must train these workers to recognize fall hazards and in the use of procedures and equipment that minimize these hazards. An employer must verify compliance with this training requirement by preparing and maintaining a written certification record that contains the name or other identifier of the worker receiving the training, the date(s) of the training, and the signature of the competent person who conducted the training, or of the employer. For additional information, see the related 60-day preclearance notice published in the **Federal Register** on April 30, 2010, (75 FR 22844). Dated: July 27, 2010. Linda Watts Thomas, Acting Departmental Clearance Officer. [FR Doc. 2010-18837 Filed 7-30-10; 8:45 am]
