Abstract:
The collection of information 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. With this final rule, OSHA is revising its standard for cranes and derricks in construction to provide specific exemptions and clarifications with regard to the application of the standard to cranes and derricks used for railway roadway work. These exemptions and clarifications recognize the unique equipment and circumstances in railway roadway work and reflect the preemption of some OSHA requirements by regulations promulgated by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).

Short Statement:
The Agency requests an overall burden hour increase of 46,727.93 hours (from 382,750.00 to 429,477.93 hours) and $260,562.43 in capital (operation and maintenance) costs (from $2,286,501.00 to $2,547,063.43). The majority of this burden hour increase is associated with the adjustment of the ICR to add railroad industry establishment respondents identified in the FEA. A smaller portion of this burden and cost is associated with the incorporation of approved burden and costs under OMB control number 1218-0270. A breakdown of the burden hours associated with both actions is provided below. Railroad Roadway Work Final Rule (Revision) - The Agency requests a burden hour adjustment increase of 40,394.52 burden hours associated with railroad respondents identified in the FEA. Also, this adjustment was impacted by updates to the economic assumptions in the ICR estimating the total number of cranes affected by Subpart CC, from 111,991 to 115,829, the agency’s use of fractions instead of rounded decimals to calculate burden hour time, and a different methodology for rounding burden hour and cost calculations. For the same reasons, and also due to inflation, the Agency requests an adjustment increase of $260,562.43 in capital (operation and maintenance) costs. Operator Qualification Final Rule (Non-Material Change) - A portion of the burden hour increase, 7,402.66 burden hours, is due to the incorporation of burden hours previously approved by OMB under OMB Control Number 1218-0270. This aspect of the ICR constitutes a non-material change as the collection of information associated with 29 CFR 1926.1427 remains the same as approved. In the ICR currently approved under OMB Control Number 1218-0261, the agency estimated a total 1,043 burden hours associated with 29 CFR 1926.1427. This results in a net increase for this ICR of 6,359.66 burden hours. For the same reason, a portion of the capital cost adjustment is due to the incorporation of a $569.99 decrease in costs previously approved by OMB under OMB Control Number 1218-0270. Under the currently approved OMB Control Number 1218-0261, the annual capital costs associated with 29 CFR 1926.1427 total $655.00. The final crane operator qualification final rule approved under OMB Control Number 1218-0270 estimates these costs be $85.02. This results in a net decrease for this ICR of $569.99.
