SUMMARY:

18:54 Dec 27, 2016

This ICR
seeks to maintain PRA authorization for
the Survivor’s Form for Benefits under
the Black Lung Benefits Act, Form CM–
912, information collection. A survivor
of a deceased miner files Form CM–912
to apply for BLBA benefits. The OWCP,
Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation uses the information in
determining the survivor’s entitlement
to BLBA benefits. BLBA sections 411(a)
and 422(a) authorize this information
collection. See 30 U.S.C. 921(a), 832(a).
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 1240–0027.
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, 2016. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL also 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 27, 2016 (81 FR 49270).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
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 1240–
0027. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on continuing information
collection requirements in accordance
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
from 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 OSH Act
also requires OSHA to 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).
A number of standards issued by
OSHA contain requirements that specify
employers use only equipment,
products, or material tested or approved
by a Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL). These requirements
ensure that employers use safe and
efficacious equipment, products, or
materials in complying with the
standards. Accordingly, OSHA
promulgated its Program Regulation for
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratories, 29 CFR 1910.7 (the
Regulation). The Regulation specifies
procedures that organizations must
follow to apply for, and to maintain,

PO 00000

Frm 00097

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

OSHA’s recognition to test and certify
equipment, products, or material for
safe use in the workplace.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
1. Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
and useful for the proper performance of
the Agency’s functions;
2. 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;
3. The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
4. Ways to minimize the burden on
organizations that must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA proposes to revise the Office of
Management and Budget’s (OMB)
approval of the collection of information
requirements specified by the
Regulation. In addition to extending its
current approval by OMB, the Agency
plans to implement a proposed fee
schedule, see 80 FR 57222, Sept. 22,
2015. This proposed fee schedule would
be based in part on proposed
streamlined procedures for accepting
and reviewing applications for NRTL
recognition, expansion and renewal,
and would contain revisions to the cost
burden to respondents resulting from
the collections of information required
by the Regulation. The Agency also
plans to obtain OMB approval for
optional standardized forms to facilitate
and simplify the information collection
process as part of its information
collection process. The optional forms
correspond to the applications for
initial, expansion of, and renewal of
recognition procedures prescribed by
the Regulation. Where practicable, the
forms would provide for automations
such as drop down lists to increase ease
of use and reduce the information
collection burden. The Agency expects
the use of the optional standardized
forms to marginally reduce the burden
hours associated with these information
collection requirements. The forms are
included in a draft copy of the updated
Directive on NRTL Program Policies,
Procedures, and Guidelines, which has
been attached to a Supporting Statement
for the Information Collection
Requirements of the Regulation. The
Agency developed the Supporting
Statement to outline the particulars of
the collection of information proposed
for approval by OMB. The Agency

requests a $718,836 increase, resulting
from a determination that the costs
should be considered a cost to
respondents rather than a cost to the
Federal government, since respondents
reimburse the Government for expenses
related to this program. The Supporting
Statement will be added to the docket
(OSHA–2010–0007), and available at
regulations.gov, once this Notice is
published. The Agency will summarize
the comments submitted in response to
this Notice, and will include this
summary in its request to OMB to revise
the approval of these information
collection requirements.

currently approved information
collection.
