COLLECTION OF INFORMATION WILL NOT BE EXTENDED FURTHER UNLESS OSHA
SHOWS REASON WHY THE DATA COLLECTED IN THIS THREE-YEAR PERIOD IS
NOT SUFFICIENT TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY OF PSDI. IN THE ABSENCE OF
JUSTIFICATION FOR FURTHER EXTENSION , OSHA SHALL HAVE COMPLETED
RULEMAKING BY THE END OF THE THREE-YEAR PERIOD RESCINDING THIS
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH 5CFR1320.14(F) AND
(G).
