SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Under the PRA, (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520) Federal Agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires Federal Agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, OSHA is
publishing notice of the proposed

collection of information set forth in
this document.
Whether seeking a loan, Social
Security benefits, veteran’s benefits, or
other services provided by the Federal
Government, individuals and businesses
expect Government customer services to
be efficient and intuitive, just like
services from leading private-sector
organizations. Yet the 2016 American
Consumer Satisfaction Index and the
2017 Forrester Federal Customer
Experience Index show that, on average,
Government services lag nine
percentage points behind the private
sector.
A modern, streamlined and
responsive customer experience means:
Raising government-wide customer
experience to the average of the private
sector service industry; developing
indicators for high-impact Federal
programs to monitor progress towards
excellent customer experience and
mature digital services; and providing
the structure (including increasing
transparency) and resources to ensure
customer experience is a focal point for
agency leadership. To support this,
OMB Circular A–11 Section 280
established government-wide standards
for mature customer experience
organizations in government and
measurement. To enable Federal
programs to deliver the experience
taxpayers deserve, they must undertake
three general categories of activities:
conduct ongoing customer research,
gather and share customer feedback, and
test services and digital products.
These data collection efforts may be
either qualitative or quantitative in
nature or may consist of mixed
methods. Additionally, data may be
collected via a variety of means,
including but not limited to electronic
or social media, direct or indirect
observation (i.e., in person, video and
audio collections), interviews,
questionnaires, surveys, and focus
groups. OSHA will limit its inquiries to
data collections that solicit strictly
voluntary opinions or responses. Steps
will be taken to ensure anonymity of
respondents in each activity covered by
this request.
The results of the data collected will
be used to improve the delivery of
Federal services and programs. It will
include the creation of personas,
customer journey maps, and reports and
summaries of customer feedback data
and user insights. It will also provide
government-wide data on customer
experience that can be displayed on
performance.gov to help build
transparency and accountability of
Federal programs to the customers they
serve.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the 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 (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
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires 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).
Seven paragraphs in the Underground
Construction Standard (‘‘the Standard’’),
29 CFR 1926.800, require employers to
post warning signs or notices during
underground construction; these
