SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On March 13, 2012, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Safety Zone, Temporary Change for Recurring Fireworks
Display within the Fifth Coast Guard District, Pamlico River and Tar
River; Washington, NC in the Federal Register (77 FR 14703). We
received no comments on the proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Given the timing of the event, it
would be impracticable to allow 30 days after publication before
enforcing this safety zone.

Background and Purpose

    Fireworks display events are frequently held on or adjacent to
navigable waters within the boundary of

the Fifth Coast Guard District. For a description of the geographical
area of each Coast Guard Sector--Captain of the Port Zone, please see
33 CFR 3.25.
    This regulation temporarily changes the enforcement period and
geographic location for a safety zone for two annually recurring
fireworks events, described at (d)(7) of the Table to 33 CFR 165.506,
that are normally scheduled to occur each year on the second Saturday
in June and on the first Saturday after July 4th. This regulation
applies to only the fireworks events listed in the Table to Sec.
165.506, section (d)7.
    On June 8, 2012 and July 4, 2012, the Town of Washington, NC will
sponsor their annual fireworks events. These events will take place in
Washington, NC on the waters of the Pamlico River. The regulation at 33
CFR 165.506 is enforced annually for this event. Also, a fleet of
spectator vessels is expected to gather near the event site to view the
fireworks. To provide for the safety of participants, spectators, and
transiting vessels, the Coast Guard will temporarily restrict vessel
traffic in the event area from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on June 8, 2012
and July 4, 2012. The regulation at 33 CFR 165.506 will be enforced for
the duration of the event. Vessels may not enter the regulated area
unless they receive permission from the Coast Guard Patrol Commander.
    The Table to Sec.  165.506, event (d)(7) establishes the
enforcement date and geographic location for the fireworks events held
in Washington, North Carolina. This regulation temporarily changes the
enforcement location to latitude 35[deg]32'25'' N, longitude
077[deg]03'42'' W. The temporary safety zone will be enforced from 7:30
p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on June 8, 2012 and July 4, 2012, and will restrict
general navigation in the regulated area during the event. Except for
participants and vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander, no person or vessel will be allowed to enter or remain in
the regulated area. These regulations are needed to control vessel
traffic during the event to enhance the safety of participants,
spectators and transiting vessels.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    Although this regulation will restrict access to the area, the
effect of this rule will not be significant because: (i) The safety
zone will only be in effect from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on June 08,
2012 and July 4, 2012; (ii) the Coast Guard will give advance
notification via maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their plans
accordingly; (iii) although the safety zone will apply to the section
of the Pamlico River and Tar River, vessel traffic will be able to
transit safely around the safety zone.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule will affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit the specified portion of Pamlico River and Tar River from 7:30
p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on June 8, 2012 and July 4, 2012.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. This
rule will only be in effect for three hours each day from 7:30 p.m. to
10:30 p.m. Although the safety zone will apply to a section of the
Pamlico River, vessel traffic will be able to transit safely around the
safety zone. Before the effective period, the Coast Guard will issue
maritime advisories widely available to the users of the waterway.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking
process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more
(adjusted for inflation) in any one year. Though this rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g), of this instruction. This rule establishes a temporary safety
zone to protect the public from fireworks fallout. An environmental
analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, and Waterways.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to certain entities. If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the person listed at the end of the pesticide petition
summary of interest.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
     2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

     EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or modification of
regulations in either 40 CFR part 174 or part 180 for residues of
pesticide chemicals in or on various food commodities. EPA has
determined that the pesticide petitions described in this document
contain the data or information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2);
however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted
data at this time or whether the data support granting of the pesticide
petitions. Additional data may be needed before EPA can make a final
determination on these pesticide petitions.
     Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this notice, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available on-line at http://
www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)),
EPA is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained

New Exemption from a Tolerance

    1. PP 7E7231. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0763). Interregional Research

Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540, for United States Department of
Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service-Appalachian Fruit Research

establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues
of the plant-incorporated protectant, coat protein of plum pox virus,
in or on stone fruit and almond. Because EPA expects that no protein
will be expressed, and that even if a protein is expressed it will not
pose a human health concern, no analytical method is required. Contact:

exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for

residues of the biofungicide, Ulocladium oudemansii (U3 Strain), when
applied or used pre-harvest only, in or on all food commodities.

    Abstract:

FERC-65 (Notification of Holding Company Status)

    The FERC-65 is a one-time informational filing outlined in the
Commission's regulations at 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 366.4.
The FERC-65 must be submitted within 30 days of becoming a holding
company. The Commission does not require the information to be reported
in a specific format. The filing consists of the name of the holding
company, the name of public utilities, the name of natural gas
companies in the holding company system, and the names of service
companies. The Commission requires the filing to include the names of
special-purpose subsidiaries (which provide non-power goods and
services) and the names of all affiliates and subsidiaries (and their
corporate interrelationship) to each other. Filings may be submitted in
hardcopy or electronically through the Commission's eFiling system.

FERC-65A (Exemption Notification of Holding Company Status)

    While noting the previously outlined requirements of the FERC-65,
the Commission has allowed for an exemption from the requirement of
providing the Commission with a FERC-65 if the books, accounts,
memoranda, and other records of any person are not relevant to the
jurisdictional rates of a public utility or natural gas company; or if
any class of transactions is not relevant to the

jurisdictional rates of a public utility or natural gas company.
Companies seeking this exemption file the FERC-65A. Commission
regulations within 18 CFR 366.3 describe the criteria in more
specificity.

FERC-65B (Waiver Notification of Holding Company Status)

    Entities may file a FERC-65B pursuant to the notification
procedures contained in 18 CFR 366.4 to obtain a waiver from the
requirement of providing the Commission with a FERC-65 if they meet the
requirements in 18 CFR 366.3(c). Specifically, the Commission waives
the requirement of providing it with a FERC 65 for any holding company
with respect to one or more of the following: (1) Single-state holding
company systems; (2) holding companies that own generating facilities
that total 100 MW or less in size and are used fundamentally for their
own load or for sales to affiliated end-users; or (3) investors in
independent transmission-only companies. Filings may be made in
hardcopy or electronically through the Commission's Web site.
    Type of Respondents: Holding company, Public utilities, natural gas
companies, service companies.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56591; File No. SR-NYSE-2007-89]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To
Institute a Revised System of Payments to Specialist Firms

October 1, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on September 27, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``Exchange'' or
``NYSE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    NYSE proposes to amend its system of variable payments to
specialist firms for liquidity provision (``Liquidity Provision
Payments'' or ``LPPs''). For each of the three months in the three-
month period commencing October 1, 2007, 20% of Exchange transaction
fee revenues will be allocated to the Liquidity Provision Payment pool.
In January 2008, and each month thereafter, the percentage allocated
will be 17%. The text of the proposed rule change is available at NYSE,
the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.nyse.com.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On September 1, 2007, the Exchange instituted a program to provide
variable Liquidity Provision Payments to specialist firms.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56337 (August 29,
2007), 72 FR 51287 (September 6, 2007) (SR-NYSE-2007-78) (the
``Initial LPP Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Liquidity Provision Payments are based on two revenue sources in
NYSE-listed securities (excluding exchange traded funds): (1) The
Exchange's share of market data revenue derived from quoting share; and
(2) the Exchange's transaction fee revenue.
    Under the transaction fee revenue portion of the LPPs, the Exchange
distributes among the specialists each month a payment pool consisting
of the Exchange's NYSE-listed stock transaction revenue on matched
volume (excluding crossing services) in both electronic and manually
executed transactions. The pool size was initially set at 25% of the
above-noted Exchange transaction revenue and the Exchange noted in the
Initial LPP Filing that this percentage may change if the Exchange
adjusts its pricing and/or based on other conditions such as specialist
performance. The Exchange proposes to reset at 20% the percentage of
Exchange transaction fee revenue allocated to the LPP payment pool for
each of the three months in the three-month period commencing October
1, 2007. In January 2008, and each month thereafter, the percentage
allocated will be 17%.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act \4\ in general and furthers
the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \5\ in particular, in that
it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees, and other charges among its members and other persons using
its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \7\
thereunder, because it establishes or changes a due, fee, or other
charge imposed by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ 17 CFR 19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its 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 accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA-95) (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, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the 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 efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    Section 1926.752(a)(1). Description of the requirement. Based on
the results of a specified method for testing field-cured samples, the
controlling contractor must provide the steel erector with written
notification that the concrete in the footings, piers, and walls, or
the mortar in the masonry piers and walls, is at 75% of its minimum
compressive-design strength or has sufficient strength to support loads
imposed during steel erection. Note: This is not and will not be
enforced for mortar in piers and walls until OSHA defines an
appropriate substitute or until an appropriate American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) test method is developed.
    Sections 1926.752(a)(2) and 1926.755(b)(1). Description of the
requirements. Under Sec.  1926.752(a)(2), the controlling contractor,
before it authorizes commencement of steel erection, must notify the
steel erector in writing that any repairs, replacements, and
modifications to anchor bolts (rods) have been made in accord with
Sec.  1926.755(b)(1) which requires that the controlling contractor
obtain approval from the project structural engineer of

record for the repairs, replacements, and modifications.
    Section 1926.753(c)(5). Description of the requirement. Employers
must not deactivate safety latches on hooks or make them inoperable
except for the situation when a qualified rigger determines that it is
safer to hoist and place purlins and single joists by doing so; or
except when equivalent protection is provided in the site-specific
erection plan.
    Section 1926.753(e)(2). Description of the requirement. Employers
must have the maximum capacity of the total multiple-lift rigging
assembly, as well as each of its individual attachment points,
certified by the manufacturer or a qualified rigger.
    Sections 1926.755(b)(2) and 1926.755(b)(1). Description of the
requirements. Under Sec.  1926.755(b)(2), throughout steel erection the
controlling contractor must notify the steel erector in writing of
additional repairs, replacements, and modifications of anchor bolts
(rods); Sec.  1926.755(b)(1) requires that these repairs, replacements
and modifications not be made without approval from the project
structural engineer of record.
    Section 1926.757(a)(4). Description of the requirement. If steel
joists at or near columns span more than 60 feet, employers must set
the joists in tandem with all bridging installed. However, the employer
may use an alternative method of erection if a qualified person
develops the alternative method, it provides equivalent stability, and
the employer includes the method in the site-specific erection plan.
    Section 1926.757(a)(7). Description of the requirement. Employers
must not modify steel joists or steel joist girders in a way that
affects their strength without the approval of the project structural
engineer of record.
    Sections 1926.757(a)(9) and 1926.758(g). Description of the
requirements. An employer can use a steel joist, steel joist girder,
purlin, or girt as an anchorage point for a fall arrest system only
with the written approval of a qualified person.
    Section 1926.757(e)(4)(i). Description of the requirement. An
employer must install and anchor all bridging on joists and attach all
joist bearing ends before placing a bundle of decking on the joists,
unless: A qualified person determines that the structure or portion of
the structure is capable of supporting the bundle, the employer
documents this determination in the site-specific erection plan and
follows the additional requirements specified in Sec.
1926.757(e)(4)(ii)-(vi).
    Section 1926.760(e) and (e)(1). Description of the requirement. The
steel erector can leave its fall protection at the jobsite after
completion of the erection activity only if the controlling contractor
or its authorized representative directs the steel erector to do so and
inspects and accepts responsibility for the fall protection.
    Section 1926.761. Description of the requirement. Employers must
have qualified persons provide training to all workers exposed to fall
hazards. This training is to include: Recognition of fall hazards at
the worksite; use and operation of guardrail systems, personal fall
arrest systems, positioning device systems, fall restraint systems,
safety net systems, and other fall protection implemented at the
worksite; correct procedures for erecting, maintaining, disassembling,
and inspecting these fall protection systems; procedures that prevent
falls to lower levels, and through or into holes and openings in
walking-working surfaces; and the fall protection requirements of this
Subpart. In addition, employers are to provide special training to
workers engaged in multiple-lift rigging procedures (i.e., to recognize
multi-lift hazards and in the proper procedures and equipment to
perform multiple lifts), connector procedures (i.e., to identify
connector hazards and in the requirements of Sec. Sec.  1926.756(c) and
1926.760(b)), and controlled decking zone (CDZ) procedures (i.e.,
knowledge of CDZ hazards and in the requirements of Sec. Sec.
1926.754(e) and 1926.760(c)).
    Paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of Appendix G to Subpart R. Description of the
requirement. This mandatory appendix duplicates the regulatory
requirements of Sec.  1926.502 (``Fall protection systems criteria and
practices''), notably the requirements specified in paragraph
(c)(4)(ii). This paragraph addresses the certification of safety nets
as an option available to employers who can demonstrate that performing
a drop test on safety nets is unreasonable. This provision allows such
employers to certify that their safety nets, including the installation
of the nets, protect workers at least as well as safety nets that meet
the drop test criteria. The employer must complete the certification
process prior to using the net for fall protection, and the certificate
must include the following information: Identification of the net and
the type of installation used for the net; the date the certifying
party determined that the net and its installation would meet the drop-
test criteria; and the signature of the party making this
determination. The most recent certificate must be available at the
jobsite for inspection.

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,
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
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    The Agency is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the
information collection requirements contained in the Standard on Steel
Erection (29 CFR part 1926, subpart R). The Agency is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 2,203 burden hours (from 23,602 hours to 21,399
hours). This decrease is due to a decline in worksites associated with
this subpart from 15,578 to 13,864.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Steel Erection (29 CFR part 1926, subpart R).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0241.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 13,864.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion, annually; triennially.
    Number of Responses: 72,317.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from one minute (.02 hour) for a
controlling contractor to inform a steel erector to leave fall
protection at the jobsite to five hours for a project engineer to do
research and analysis to provide approval for modifications to steel
joists or joist girders.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 21,399.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
