SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (e.g., an employee filing
a retaliation complaint) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 Agency is responsible for
investigating alleged violations of
‘‘whistleblower’’ provisions contained in
a number of statutes. These
whistleblower provisions prohibit
retaliation by employers against
employees who report alleged violations
of certain laws or regulations.
Accordingly, these provisions prohibit
an employer from discharging or taking
any other retaliatory action against an
employee because the employee engages
in any of the protected activities
specified by the whistleblower
provisions of the statutes.
These statutes are covered under the
following regulations: 29 CFR part 24,
Procedures for the Handling of
Retaliation Complaints under Federal
Employee Protection Statutes (29 CFR
part 24 covers: Safe Water Drinking Act,
42 U.S.C. 300j–9(i); Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1367;
Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C.
2622; Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42
U.S.C. 6971; Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.
7622; Energy Reorganization Act of
1974, 42 U.S.C. 5851; and the

Comprehensive Environmental

Act, 42 U.S.C. 9610); 29 CFR part 1977,
Discrimination Against Employees
Exercising Rights under the WilliamsSteiger Occupational Safety and Health
Act (29 CFR part 1977 covers: the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29
U.S.C. 660; the Asbestos Hazard
Emergency Response Act, 15 U.S.C.
2651; and the International Safe
Container Act, 46 U.S.C. 80507); 29 CFR

Federal Railroad Safety Act, as
Amended by Section 1521 of the
Implementing Recommendations of the
9/11 Commission Act of 2007; and 29
CFR part 1983, Procedures for the
Handling of Retaliation Complaints
Under Section 219 of the Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act of
2008. Information collection
requirements contained in future
regulations promulgated by the Agency
with respect to a whistleblower
provision of any other Federal law,
except those that are assigned to another
DOL agency, will be added to this
information collection.
These regulations specify the
procedures that an employee must use
to file a complaint with OSHA alleging
that their employer violated a
whistleblower provision for which the
Agency has investigative responsibility.
Any employee who believes that such a
violation occurred may file a complaint,
or have the complaint filed on their
behalf. Four of these regulations, 29 CFR
parts 24, 1979, 1980 and 1981, require
that complaints must be filed in writing,
and should include a full statement of
the acts and omissions, with pertinent
dates, that are believed to constitute the
violation. The other regulations, 29 CFR

E:\FR\FM\28OCN1.SGM

28OCN1

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2010 / Notices
parts 1977, 1978, 1982, and 1983,
require no particular form of filing for
complaints.
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
individuals who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
regulations containing procedures for
handling retaliation complaints at 29
CFR parts 24, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981,
1982, and 1983.1 OSHA is proposing to
increase the burden hours in the
currently approved information
collection request from 390 burden
hours to 2,160 burden hours (a total
increase of 1,770 hours). These
information collection requirements are
included in this extension. This
increase is due to the Agency’s
determination that all of the Agency’s
regulations containing procedures for
the investigation of retaliation
complaints, regardless of the form used
to file a complaint, contain information
collection requirements associated with
the initiation of the complaint. The
increase is also due to updated
information showing an increase in the
annual number of complaints filed. The
Agency will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in the
request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Regulations Containing
Procedures for Handling Retaliation
Complaints.
OMB Number: 1218–0236.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Number of Respondents: 2,160.
1 Several of these regulations use the term
‘‘discrimination’’ or ‘‘discrimination complaints’’ in
their titles. These terms are synonymous with
‘‘retaliation’’ and ‘‘retaliation complaints,’’
respectively.
