SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the 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) (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, the collection instruments are clearly understood, and 
OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The 
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (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 effort in 
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The following is a description of the information collection 
requirements contained in the standard on servicing multi-piece and 
single piece rim wheels.

Certification of Repair (Sec.  1910.177(d)(3)(iv))

    This paragraph requires that when restraining devices and barriers 
are removed from service because they are defective, they shall not be 
returned to service until they are repaired and reinspected. If the 
repair is structural, the manufacturer or a Registered Professional 
Engineer must certify that the strength requirements specified in 
(d)(3)(i) of the Standard have been met. The certification records are 
used to assure that equipment has been properly repaired. The 
certification records also provide the most efficient means for OSHA 
compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with the 
Standard.

Marking or Tagging of Wheel Components (Sec.  1910.177(e)(2))

    This paragraph requires that defective wheels and wheel components 
``be marked or tagged unserviceable and removed from the service 
area.'' Under this requirement, OSHA is providing employers with 
sufficient information from which they can derive the wording to use in 
marking the object or constructing a tag. Therefore, this provision 
imposes no paperwork burden because it falls within the portion of 5 
CFR 1320.3(c)(2) that states, ``The public disclosure of information 
originally supplied by the Federal government to the recipient for the 
purpose of disclosure to the public is not included within the 
definition of `collection of information.''

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 to 
protect workers, 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, and 
transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the information 
collection requirements contained in Servicing Multi-Piece and Single 
Piece Rim Wheels Standard. The agency is requesting that the burden 
remains for one hour.
    OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this 
notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to extend 
the approval of the information collection requirements.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
