SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Marine Terminals and Longshoring 
Standards information collection requirements are related to the 
testing, certification, and marking of specific types of cargo lifting 
appliances and associated cargo handling gear and other cargo handling 
equipment such as conveyors and industrial trucks. The information the 
OSHA requires from employers are necessary to reduce worker injuries 
and fatalities associated with cargo lifting gear, transfer of 
vehicular cargo, manual cargo handling, and exposure to hazardous 
atmospheres.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the 
collection of information does not display a valid OMB Control Number. 
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this 
information collection under Control Number 1218-0196. The current OMB 
approval is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2012; however, it should be 
noted that existing information collection requirements submitted to 
the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. 
For additional information, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on April 26, 2012 (77 FR 24990).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send timely comments to the 
OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown 
in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. In order to help ensure 
appropriate consideration, comments should reference OMB Control Number 
1218-0196. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions 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.
