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 (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 information collection
requirements specified by the Electrical
Standards for Construction and for
General Industry alert workers to the
presence and types of electrical hazards
in the workplace, thereby preventing
serious injury and death by
electrocution. The information
collection requirements in these
Standards involve the following: the
employer using electrical equipment
that is marked with the manufacturer’s
name, trademark, or other descriptive
markings that identify the producer of
the equipment, and marking the
equipment with the voltage, current,
wattage, or other ratings necessary;
requiring each disconnecting means for
motors and appliances to be marked
legibly to indicate its purpose, unless
located and arranged so the purpose is
evident; requiring the entrances to
rooms and other guarded locations
containing exposed live parts to be
marked with conspicuous warning signs
forbidding unqualified persons from

entering; and, for construction
employers only, establishing and
implementing the assured equipment
grounding conductor program instead of
using ground-fault circuit interrupters.
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 cost) 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 proposing a decrease
adjustment to the existing burden hours
from 220,789 hours to 194,976 hours for
the Electrical Standards for
Construction and for General Industry, a
total decrease of 25,813. The cost of the
labels is $4.25, which increased from
$3.75, a difference of 50 cents. The cost
of caution and warning signs remains
$10.95. The total cost over a five-year
period to the employer is $25,476,949
(or $5,095,390 per year). The Agency
will summarize any comments
submitted in response to this notice,
and will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements contained in these
Standards.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Electrical Standards for
Construction (29 CFR part 1926, subpart
K) and for General Industry (29 CFR part
1910, subpart S).
OMB Number: 1218–0130.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit institutions;
Federal Government; State, local, or
tribal governments.
Number of Respondents: 915,681.
Frequency of Response: Occasionally.
Total Responses: 2,841,370.
Average Time per Response: Various.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
194,976.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $5,095,390.

[Notice (18–001)]

Notice of Intent To Grant Partially
Exclusive Term License
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Grant
Partially Exclusive Term License—
CORRECTION.
AGENCY:

This is an amended version of
NASA’s earlier Federal Register Notice
which was published on January 3,
2018, Document 2017–28388, and
Notice Number 17–091. There was an
error in the third line in which ‘‘Take
Out This Space’’ was added after
‘‘Notice of Intent to Grant Partially
Exclusive Term License’’ and needed to
be deleted.
NASA hereby gives notice of its intent
to grant a partially-exclusive term
license in the United States to practice
the invention described and claimed in
U.S. Patent 6,760,487 entitled,
‘‘Estimated Spectrum Adaptive
Postfilter And The Iterative Prepost
Filtering Algorithms’’, and in U.S.
Patent 9,414,072 entitled ‘‘Improved
Performance of the JPEG Estimated
Spectrum Adaptive Postfilter (JPEG–
ESAP) for Low Bit Rates’’ to Human
Health Organization (‘‘H2O’’), having its
principal place of business in Studio
City, CA.
DATES: The prospective partiallyexclusive term license may be granted
unless NASA receives written
objections, including evidence and
argument no later than February 1,
2018, that establish that the grant of the
license would not be consistent with the
requirements regarding the licensing of
federally owned inventions as set forth
in the Bayh-Dole Act and implementing
regulations. Competing applications
completed and received by NASA no
later than February 1, 2018 will also be
treated as objections to the grant of the
contemplated partially exclusive
license. Objections submitted in
response to this notice will not be made
available to the public for inspection
and, to the extent permitted by law, will
