Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Labor Market
Information (LMI) Cooperative
Agreement information collection. The
LMI Cooperative Agreement includes all
information needed by a State
Workforce Agency to apply for funds to
assist it in operating one or more of the
four BLS LMI programs and to report on
the status of the obligation and
expenditure of any such funds as well
as to close out the Cooperative
Agreement. This information collection
has been classified as a revision,
because of updates to the Cooperative
Agreement application instructions and
materials. BLS Authorizing Statute
sections 1 and 2, Wagner-Peyser Act as
Amended section 14, and Federal Grant
and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977
section 6 authorize this information
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1, 2, 49L–1; 31
U.S.C. 6305.
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
Number 1220–0079. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on May
31, 2015; however, the DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on November 12, 2014
(79 FR 67193).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (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
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following provisions of the
Commercial Diving Operations
Standards (the ‘‘Standards’’) contain
paperwork requirements:
§§ 1910.401(b); 1910.410(a)(3) and
(a)(4); 1910.420(a) and (b); 1910.421(b),
(f), and (h); 1910.422(e);
1910.423(b)(1)(ii) through (b)(2), (d), and
(e); 1910.430(a), (b)(4), (c)(1)(i), (c)(3)(i),
(f)(3)(ii), and (g)(2); and 1910.440(a)(2)
and (b). These provisions require that
employers: Notify OSHA if they deviate
from the operational requirements of the
Standards; train every diver in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first
aid, and mixed-gas divers (and those
who control exposure of divers to
mixed-gas breathing conditions) in
diving-related physics and physiology;
develop and make available to
employees a safe practices manual;
maintain a list of emergency telephone
or call numbers at the diving location;
brief dive team members on diving-

Jkt 235001

related tasks, safety procedures,
hazards, and revisions to operating
procedures; display a code flag ‘‘A’’ if
diving from a surface other than a vessel
in navigable waters; develop and
maintain a depth-time profile for each
dive; and instruct divers on reporting
diving-related illnesses and injuries,
and the procedures specified for
detecting, treating, and preventing these
problems.
The Standards also mandate that
employers: Record and maintain diving
logs that contain required information;
investigate and provide a written
evaluation of, any incident involving
decompression sickness; mark diving
umbilicals as required; inspect, test, and
calibrate specified diving equipment;
record modifications, repairs, tests,
calibrations, and maintenance
performed on any diving equipment;
make a record of diving-related injuries
and illnesses that result in a diver
remaining in a hospital for over 24
hours; and create, and disclose to
specified parties on request, the written
records required by the Standard, and
maintain these records for specified
periods.
The Standards’ paperwork
requirements allow employers to
deviate from established diving
practices and tailor diving operations to
unusually hazardous diving conditions,
and to analyze diving records (including
hospitalization and treatment records)
for information they can use to improve
diving operations. These requirements
are also a direct and efficient means for
employers to inform dive-team members
about diving-related hazards,
procedures to use in avoiding and
controlling these hazards, and
recognizing and treating diving-related
illnesses and injuries. Additionally,
employers can review equipment
records to ensure that employees
performed the required actions, and that
the equipment is in safe working order.
Disclosing these records to employees
and their designated representatives
permits them to identify operational and
equipment conditions that may
contribute to diving accidents or divingrelated medical conditions.
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,

PO 00000

Frm 00063

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting an adjustment
decrease of 81 burden hours from
205,096 to 205,015 hours. The Agency
is no longer calculating burden hours or
costs for employers who provide
information to the compliance officers
during an OSHA inspection; inspections
are outside the scope of PRA–95. The
Agency will summarize any 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: Commercial Diving Operations
Standard (29 CFR part 1910, subpart T).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0069.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits; Not-for-profit institutions;
Federal Government; State, Local or
Tribal Governments.
Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion;
annually.
Total Responses: 3,996,377.
Average Time per Response: Varies
from five minutes (.08 hour) for
employers to maintain records to 12
hours for employers to update their
compliance plans.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
205,015.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.

The standard protects workers from
adverse health effects from occupational
exposure to asbestos, including lung
cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis (an
emphysema-like condition) and
gastrointestinal cancer. The standard
requires employers to monitor worker
exposure, to provide medical
surveillance, and maintain accurate
records of worker exposure to asbestos.
These records will be used by
employers and workers and the
Government to ensure that workers are
not harmed by exposure to asbestos in
the workplace.
