This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Request for Information
on Earnings, Dual Benefits, Dependents,
and Third-Party Settlements (Form CA–
1032, Form EN–1032) information
collection. The OWCP uses this
collection to obtain information from a
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA) claimant receiving workers’
compensation benefits over an extended
period. The OWCP uses the response to
determine whether the claimant is
entitled to continue receiving benefits
and whether the benefit amount should
be adjusted. The collection is necessary
to ensure the beneficiary receives
correct compensation. This information
collection has been classified as a
revision, because OWCP has made
several clarifications to the data
collection. The FECA authorizes this
information collection. See 5 U.S.C.
8124 and 8149.
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 1240–0016. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on May
31, 2017; 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 February 27, 2017
(82 FR 11946).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section by June 30, 2017. In order to
help ensure appropriate consideration,
comments should mention OMB Control
Number 1240–0016. The OMB is

Directorate of Standards and Guidance,
OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Room
N–3609, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202)
693–2222.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(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 OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657).
The collections of information
contained in the Hydrostatic Testing
Provision of the Portable Fire
Extinguishers Standard are necessary to
reduce workers’ risk of death or serious
injury by ensuring that portable fire
extinguishers are in safe operating
condition. The following section
describes who uses the information in
the certification record, as well as how
they use it.

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES

Test records (§ 1910.157(f)(16))
Paragraph (f)(16) requires employers
to develop and maintain a certification
record of hydrostatic testing of portable
fire extinguishers. The certification
record must include the date of
inspection, the signature of the person
who performed the test, and the serial
number (or other identifier) of the fire
extinguisher that was tested.
Disclosure of Test Certification Records
The certification record must be made
available to the Assistant Secretary or
his/her representative upon request. The
certification record provides assurance
to employers, workers, and OSHA
compliance officers that the fire
extinguishers have been hydrostatically
tested in accordance with and at the
intervals specified in § 1910.157(f)(16),
thereby, ensuring that they will operate
properly in the event that workers need
to use them. These records also provide

VerDate Sep<11>2014

21:15 May 22, 2017

Jkt 241001

the most efficient means for the
compliance officers to determine that an
employer is complying with the
hydrostatic testing provision.
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
employers 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
Hydrostatic Testing Provision of the
Portable Fire Extinguishers Standard for
General Industry (29 CFR
1910.157(f)(16)). OSHA is proposing to
increase the burden hours in the
currently approved information
collection request from 125,986 burden
hours to 519,161 burden hours (a total
increase of 393,175 hours). This
increase is due to updated data showing
an increase in the number of firms
affected by the Standard. 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: The Hydrostatic Testing
Provision of the Portable Fire
Extinguishers Standard (29 CFR
1910.157(f)(16)).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0218.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is providing notice that
Curtis-Strauss LLC (CSL), is applying for
expansion of its current recognition as
an NRTL. CSL requests the addition of
one test standard to its NRTL scope of
recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified in 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within its scope of recognition.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition
includes (1) the type of products the
NRTL may test, with each type specified
by its applicable test standard; and (2)
the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the
product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards
within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is
not a delegation or grant of government
authority; however, recognition enables
employers to use products approved by
the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification.
The Agency processes applications by
an NRTL for initial recognition and for
an expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the Agency
publish two notices in the Federal
Register in processing an application. In
the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary
finding. In the second notice, the
Agency provides its final decision on
the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL, including CSL, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA Web site at http://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
CSL currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with its headquarters
located at: Curtis-Strauss LLC, Littleton
Distribution Center, One Distribution
Center Circle, Suite #1, Littleton, MA
01460. A complete list of CSL’s scope of
recognition is available at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/csl.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
CSL submitted an application on
April 7, 2016 (OSHA–2009–0026–0072),
to expand its recognition to include one
