Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 2014 / Notices
that employers are providing their
workers with protection from hazardous
ionizing radiation exposure.
Several provisions of the Standard
specify paperwork requirements,
including: monitoring worker exposure
to ionizing radiation, instructing
workers on the hazards associated with
ionizing radiation exposure and
precautions to minimize exposure,
posting of caution signs at radiation
areas, reporting worker overexposures to
OSHA, maintaining exposure records,
and providing exposure records to
current and former workers.
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 to protect workers,
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.

part of its continuing effort to reduce

understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Wage

extend Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Wage and Hour
Division (WHD) of the Department of
Labor (DOL) administers the Employee
Polygraph Protection Act of 1988
(EPPA), 29 U.S.C. 2001 et seq. The
EPPA prohibits most private employers
from using any lie detector tests either
for pre-employment screening or during
the course of employment. The Act
contains an exemption applicable to
Federal, State and local government
employers. The EPPA also contains
several limited exemptions authorizing
polygraph tests under certain
conditions, including testing: (1) By the
Federal Government of experts,
consultants, or employees of Federal
contractors engaged in national security
intelligence or counterintelligence
functions; (2) of employees the
employer reasonably suspects of
involvement in a workplace incident
resulting in economic loss or injury to
the employer’s business; (3) of some
prospective employees of private
armored cars, security alarm and
security guard firms; and (4) of some
current and prospective employees of
certain firms authorized to manufacture,

distribute, or dispense controlled
substances. The WHD may assess civil
money penalties of up to $10,000
against employers who violate any
EPPA provision.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• 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;
• 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 submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The DOL seeks an
approval for the extension of this
information collection that requires the
keeping of records by examiners and
employers as necessary or appropriate
for the administration of the Act and the
provision of certain notices to polygraph
examiners and examinees.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Agency: Wage and Hour Division.
Title: Notice to Examinee, Employee
Polygraph Protection Act.
OMB Number: 1235–0005.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, Not-for-profit institutions, Farms.
Total Respondents: 593,400.
Total Annual Responses: 593,400.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
68,739.

minutes.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS
ADMINISTRATION
[NARA–2014–021]

Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when no longer needed for current
Government business. They authorize
the preservation of records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of
records lacking administrative, legal,
research, or other value. Notice is
published for records schedules in
which agencies propose to destroy
records not previously authorized for
disposal or reduce the retention period
of records already authorized for
disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such records schedules, as
required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: Requests for copies must be
received in writing on or before May 1,
2014. Once the appraisal of the records
is completed, NARA will send a copy of
the schedule. NARA staff usually
prepare appraisal memoranda that
contain additional information
concerning the records covered by a
proposed schedule. These, too, may be
requested and will be provided once the
appraisal is completed. Requesters will
be given 30 days to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting Records
Management Services (ACNR) using one
of the following means:
Mail: NARA (ACNR), 8601 Adelphi
Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.
Email: [email protected].
FAX: 301–837–3698.
Requesters must cite the control
number, which appears in parentheses
after the name of the agency which
submitted the schedule, and must
provide a mailing address. Those who
desire appraisal reports should so
indicate in their request.
