Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 248 / Thursday, December 26, 2013 / Notices

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 that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1218–0048.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
July 30, 2013 (78 FR 45981).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of

the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1218–
0048. 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.

The ICR
seeks to maintain PRA authority for the
information collection requirements
specified in regulations 29 CFR 1910.7,
Definition and Requirements for a
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL), and to revise the
collection by adding optional-use
standardized forms to facilitate and to
simplify the information collection
process. A number of OSHA standards
contain requirements for equipment,
products, or materials. These standards
often specify that a covered employer
use only equipment, products, or
materials tested or approved by a NRTL.
This requirement helps to ensure an
employer uses safe equipment,
products, or materials in complying
with the standards. Accordingly, the
OSHA promulgated a regulation to
specify procedures that an organization
must follow to apply for and to maintain
OSHA recognition to test and to certify
equipment, products, or material for this
purpose. The optional forms correspond
to the application, expansion, and
renewal processes defined in the NRTL
Program. The Occupational Safety and
Health Act authorizes the information
collection provisions. See 29 U.S.C. 651
and 657.
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 that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control

December 31, 2013; however, the DOL
notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.

effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice

1910.1001, the Asbestos in General
Industry Standard, that require a
covered employer to monitor worker
exposure; to notify workers of their
asbestos exposures; to develop a written
compliance program; to maintain
records concerning the presence,
location, and quantity of asbestoscontaining materials and/or presumed
asbestos-containing materials; to
provide medical surveillances; to
provide examining physicians with
specific information; to ensure workers
receive a copy of the physician’s written
opinion; to maintain workers’ exposure
monitoring and medical records for
specific periods; and to provide the
OSHA, National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health,
affected workers, and their authorized
representatives access to these records.
Employers, workers, physicians, and the
Government use these records to ensure
exposure to asbestos in the workplace
does not harm workers. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act
authorizes the information collection
provisions. See 29 U.S.C. 651, 655, and
657.
These information collection
requirements are subject to the PRA. A
