III. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
TUVRNA submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of its scope of
recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application file, and comparability
analysis, indicate that TUVRNA can
meet the requirements prescribed by 29
CFR 1910.7 for expanding its
recognition to include the addition of
this one test standard for NRTL testing
and certification listed above. This
preliminary finding does not constitute
an interim or temporary approval of
TUVRNA’s application.
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether TUVRNA meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of its recognition as an NRTL.
Comments should consist of pertinent
written documents and exhibits.
Commenters needing more time to
comment must submit a request in
writing, stating the reasons for the
request. Commenters must submit the
written request for an extension by the
due date for comments. OSHA will limit
any extension to 10 days unless the
requester justifies a longer period.
OSHA may deny a request for an
extension if the request is not
adequately justified. To obtain or review
copies of the exhibits identified in this
notice, as well as comments submitted
to the docket, contact the Docket Office,
Room N–3508, Occupational Safety and

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 the 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).
Section 21 of the OSH Act (29 U.S.C.
670) authorizes OSHA to conduct
directly or through grants and contracts,
education and training courses. These
courses must ensure that an adequate
number of qualified personnel fulfill the
purposes of the OSH Act, provide them
with short-term training, inform them of
the importance and proper use of safety
and health equipment, and train
employers and workers to recognize,
avoid, and prevent unsafe and
unhealthful working conditions.
Under Section 21, OSHA awards
training grants to nonprofit
organizations to provide part of the
required training. The Agency requires
organizations that receive these grants to
submit quarterly progress reports on
their grant-funded training activities.
These reports allow OSHA to monitor
the grantee’s performance and to
determine if an organization is using
grant funds as specified in its grant
application. The Agency then compares
the information in the quarterly progress
report to the quarterly milestones
proposed by the organization in the
work plan and budget that accompanied
the grant application. This quarterly
information includes: Identifier data
(organization name and grant number);
the date and location where the training
occurred; the length of training (hours);
the number of workers and employers
attending training sessions provided by
the organization; a description of the
training provided; a narrative account of
grant activities conducted; and an
evaluation of progress regarding
planned versus actual work
accomplished. This comparison allows

VerDate Sep<11>2014

23:17 May 19, 2017

Jkt 241001

OSHA to determine if the organization
is meeting the proposed program goals
and objectives, and is spending funds in
the manner described in the proposed
budget.
Requiring these reports on a quarterly
basis enables OSHA to identify work
plan, training, and expenditure
discrepancies in a timely fashion so that
the Agency can implement appropriate
action. In addition, information from
these reports allows the Agency to
assess an organization’s ability to meet
projected milestones and expenditures.
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, 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
Grantee Quarterly Progress Report. As a
result of an increase in the number of
quarterly reports, the Agency is
requesting an increase in burden
hours—from 5,096 to 6,104. OSHA 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: Grantee Quarterly Progress
Report.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0100.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
organizations.
Number of Respondents: 109.
Frequency of Responses: Quarterly.
Average Time per Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 6,104.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
