Abstract:
The information collection requirements contained in the Cranes and Derricks Standard codified at 29 CFR part 1926 subpart CC mandate that a covered employer produce and maintain records documenting controls and other measures taken to protect workers from hazards related to cranes and derricks used in construction. A construction business with workers who operate or work in the vicinity of cranes and derricks must have, as applicable, the following documents on file and available at the job site: equipment ratings, employee training records, written authorizations from qualified individuals, operator’s certification documents and qualification program audits. After the final rule for Cranes and Derricks in Construction was published on August 9, 2010, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) filed a petition for review on October 7, 2010, challenging certain exemptions affecting railroad roadway work. OSHA and AAR reached a September 9, 2014, settlement agreement filed with the court. The settlement agreement requires OSHA to undertake rulemaking to expand exemptions affecting railroad roadway work by providing an additional exemption from the crane standard for a particular class of track maintenance hoisting equipment and partial exemptions from, or alternate work practices in lieu of particular requirements of the cranes standard. This proposed rule will address compliance concerns raised by the railroad industry.

Short Statement:
The Agency added to the ICR several provisions of proposed 29 CFR 1926.1442 as new information collection requirements. As a result, the Agency requests a program change increase of 1,206 burden hours. For capital (operation and maintenance) costs, the Agency requests a program change increase of $77,092. The majority of these slight cost increases are estimates related to costs incurred by a subset of affected employers seeking to meet the requirements of the proposed exemptions by obtaining registered professional engineer determinations. The proposed exemptions do not generate costs savings in the existing ICR equations because the affected respondents were not previously represented in those equations. In addition, the Agency requests an adjustment increase of 52,745 burden hours. This adjustment is associated with new respondents added into existing ICR burden hour calculations. Also, the adjustment relates to updates to the economic assumptions in the ICR estimating the total number of cranes affected by Subpart CC. For the same reasons, the Agency requests an adjustment increase of $259,401 in capital (operation and maintenance) costs. In total, combining both program changes and adjustments, the Agency requests an increase of 53,951 burden hours (from 382,750 to 436,701 hours) and $336,493 in capital (operation and maintenance) costs (from $2,286,501 to $2,622,994).
