60 day federal register notice

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 210 / Wednesday, November 1, 2017 / Notices
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 an adjustment
increase of 102,613 burden hours (from
2,646,702 hours to 2,749,315 hours).
This increase is a result of updated data
showing an increase in the number of
affected low-impact establishments
(from 435,063 establishments to 461,523
establishments). In addition, OSHA is
requesting an adjustment increase of
$52,265 in operation and maintenance
costs (from $1,426,421 to $1,478,686)
associated with the purchase of tags and
ties by employers. This increase is also
a result of updated data showing an
increase in the number of affected lowimpact establishments.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Standard on the Control of
Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) (29
CFR 1910.147).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
Citizen science and crowdsourcing
are tools that engage, educate and
empower the public to apply their
curiosity and contribute their talents to
a wide range of scientific and societal
issues. NASA’s mission to reach for new
heights and reveal the unknown so that
what we do and learn will benefit all
humankind. NASA uses the vantage
point of space to achieve with the
science community and our partners a
deep scientific understanding of our
planet, other planets and solar system
bodies, the interplanetary environment,
the Sun and its effects on the solar
system, and the universe beyond.
Citizen science and crowdsourcing can
support NASA’s mission and purpose
by providing new opportunities to
explore our solar system and our own
home planet like never before,
producing critical data that expands our
knowledge of the universe, and
advancing our ability to provide societal
benefit through the synergy of satellite
and ground based observations.
II. Methods of Collection
Citizen science and crowdsourcing
collections submitted under this generic
clearance can be stand-alone projects or

the methods may be incorporated into
an existing or new project, including,

D Data gathering projects. These
projects may include: (1) Observation,
characterization and documentation of
natural phenomena or general
environmental health observations,
opinions, or preferences or (2) surveying
participants or screening environmental
conditions, including using specialized
equipment provided by project leaders
to record and submit data, or submitting
samples plus descriptors (e.g. of air or
water) for testing. Data may be collected
using technologies mentioned above,
through structured data forms, surveys,
focus groups or interviews, submitting
photographs or other media, surveys or
questionnaires, or providing written
observations.
D Classification/problem solving
projects. Participants’ tasks may
include: (1) Observation of recorded
materials provided by project organizers
(images, video, etc.) through structured
data submission forms, surveys or
questionnaires in an online or computer
program, clicking boxes, highlighting
parts of text or image, and providing

structured data submission forms or
clicking boxes in an online or computer
program; (3) Transcribing information,
by typing handwritten logs or notes; (4)
