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 accord 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

PO 00000

Frm 00088

Fmt 4703

61035

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).
Certification of repair
(§ 1910.177(d)(3)(iv)). This paragraph
requires that when restraining devices
and barriers are removed from service
because they are defective, they shall
not be returned to service until they are
repaired and reinspected. If the repair is
structural, the manufacturer or a
Registered Professional Engineer must
certify that the strength requirements
specified in § 1910.177(d)(3)(i) of the
Standard have been met.
The certification records are used to
assure that equipment has been properly
repaired. The certification records also
provide the most efficient means for
OSHA compliance officers to determine
that an employer is complying with the
Standard.
Marking or tagging of wheel
components (1910.177(e)(2)). This
paragraph requires that defective wheels
and wheel components ‘‘be marked or
tagged unserviceable and removed from
the service area.’’ Under this
requirement, OSHA is providing
employers with sufficient information
from which they can derive the wording
to use in marking the object or
constructing a tag. Therefore, this
provision imposes no paperwork burden
because it falls within the portion of 5
CFR 1320(c)(2) that states, ‘‘The public
disclosure of information originally
supplied by the Federal government to
the recipient for the purpose of
disclosure to the public is not included
within this definition [of ‘collection of
information’]’’.
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.

The Act authorizes the provision of
assistance under section 605 of the Act
(22 U.S.C. 7704) to countries that enter
into compacts with the United States to
support policies and programs that
advance the progress of such countries
in achieving lasting economic growth
and poverty reduction, and are in
furtherance of the Act. The Act requires
the Millennium Challenge Corporation
(‘‘MCC’’) to determine the countries that
will be eligible to receive assistance for
the fiscal year, based on their
demonstrated commitment to just and
democratic governance, economic
freedom, and investing in their people,
as well as on the opportunity to reduce
poverty and generate economic growth
in the country. The Act also requires the
submission of reports to appropriate
congressional committees and the
publication of notices in the Federal
Register that identify, among other
things:
1. The countries that are ‘‘candidate
countries’’ for assistance for fiscal year
(‘‘FY’’) 2018 based on their per-capita
income levels and their eligibility to
receive assistance under U.S. law, and
countries that would be candidate
countries but for specified legal
prohibitions on assistance (section
608(a) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7707(a)));
2. The criteria and methodology that
the Board of Directors of MCC (the
‘‘Board’’) will use to measure and
evaluate the policy performance of the
‘‘candidate countries’’ consistent with
the requirements of section 607 of the
Act in order to select ‘‘eligible
countries’’ from among the ‘‘candidate
countries’’ (section 608(b) of the Act (22
U.S.C. 7707(b))); and
3. The list of countries determined by
the Board to be ‘‘eligible countries’’ for
FY 2018, with justification for eligibility
determination and selection for compact
negotiation, including with which of the
eligible countries the Board will seek to
enter into compacts (section 608(d) of
the Act (22 U.S.C. 7707(d))).
This is the third of the abovedescribed reports by MCC for FY 2018.
It identifies countries determined by the
Board to be eligible under section 607
of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7706) for FY 2018
with which the MCC will seek to enter
into compacts under section 609 of the
Act (22 U.S.C. 7708), as well as the
justification for such decisions. The
report also identifies countries selected
by the Board to receive assistance under
MCC’s threshold program pursuant to
section 616 of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7715).
Eligible Countries
The Board met on December 19, 2017
to select those eligible countries with
which the United States, through MCC,
