certification of safety nets and
development of fall protection plans,
respectively, and paragraph (b) of 29
CFR 1926.503, which requires
employers to certify training records.
The training certification requirement
specified in paragraph (b) of 29 CFR
1926.503 documents the training
provided to workers potentially exposed
to fall hazards in construction. A
competent person must train these
workers to recognize fall hazards and in
the use of procedures and equipment
that minimize these hazards. An
employer must verify compliance with
this training requirement by preparing
and maintaining a written certification
record that contains the name or other
identifier of the worker receiving the
training, the date(s) of the training, and
the signature of the competent person
who conducted the training, or of the
employer.
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.

III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
approval of the collection of information
requirements contained in the
Construction Standards on Fall
Protection Systems Criteria and
Practices (29 CFR 1926.502) and
Training Requirements. OSHA is
requesting a burden hour increase, from
425,844 to 471,232 hours, a difference of
45,388 hours. The increase is primarily
a result of a higher estimate of
employers who must comply with the
collections of information as well as the
way the agency is now calculating
burden hours. The hours are calculated
using fractions instead of decimals, as
the agency believes that it is easier for
the public to follow this methodology.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of Workers’ Compensation

Proposed Extension of Existing
Collection; Comment Request
Notice of availability; request
for comments.

ACTION:

The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. This information
collection request (ICR) seeks approval
under the PRA for the continued use of
the revised Provider Enrollment Form
(Form OWCP–1168). The form requests
profile information on providers that
enroll in one or more of OWCP’s benefit
programs so its billing contractor can
pay them for services rendered to
beneficiaries using its automated bill
processing system. In addition to the
enrollment form information collection,
the OWCP bill processing contractor
currently collects electronic data
interchange (EDI) information from the

provider only if the provider chooses a
data exchange submission method.
Once the new OWCP–1168 form is in
place, the existing EDI template will no
longer be applicable. The current EDI
template collects information that is
duplicative to information collected on
Form OWCP–1168, such as names,
addresses, and NPI. Collecting EDI
information with the enrollment
information in one form will improve
efficiency in collecting the information
from providers, reduce the time
required for processing by operational
staff, and will significantly reduce errors
associated with mismatching provider
enrollments to their EDI information.
This ICR will be submitted to OMB to
allow for the continued use of the
revised Provider Enrollment Form
(Form OWCP–1168) and to incorporate
regulatory updates implementing the
Black Lung benefits Act which becomes
applicable on April 26, 2020. A copy of
the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed below in the ADDRESSES
section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
April 27, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) is the agency
responsible for administration of the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
(FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., the Black
Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901
et seq., and the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA), 42
U.S.C. 7384 et seq. These statutes
require OWCP to pay for appropriate
medical and vocational rehabilitation
services provided to beneficiaries. In
order for OWCP’s billing contractor to
pay providers of these services with its
automated bill processing system,
providers must ‘‘enroll’’ with one or
more of the OWCP programs that
administer the statutes by submitting
certain profile information, including
identifying information, tax I.D.
information, and whether they possess
specialty or sub-specialty training. Form
OWCP–1168 is used to obtain this
information from each provider. This

included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they will
also become a matter of public record.

ICR will be submitted to OMB as a
follow-up to an emergency processing
request that was submitted to OMB on
February 14, 2020 which will allow for
implementation of the revised form as
soon as possible. This submission will
request OMB approval to use the revised
form for an additional three (3) years.

Compensation Programs, U.S. Department of

II. Review Focus

[FR Doc. 2020–03789 Filed 2–25–20; 8:45 am]

The Department of Labor is
particularly interested in comments
which:
* Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
* evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
* enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
* minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
