SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Workers in both outdoor and indoor
work settings without adequate climatecontrolled environments are at risk of
hazardous heat exposure. Workers of
color are disproportionately exposed to
hazardous levels of heat in essential jobs
across these work settings. Climate
change is increasing the frequency and
intensity of hazardous heat events,
which puts more workers at risk of
hazardous heat exposure, including in
areas of the U.S. not historically
impacted by hazardous heat. OSHA has
several ongoing initiatives to reduce
occupational heat illnesses, injuries,
and fatalities. During this stakeholder
meeting, OSHA will present an
overview of its ongoing activities to
protect workers from heat-related
hazards, as well as an introduction to
the agency’s rulemaking process and
ways for the public to participate in that
process. The agency will also provide an
overview of the following topics: (1) The
agency’s Heat Illness Prevention
Campaign, (2) compliance assistance
activities, and (3) enforcement efforts.
At the end of each OSHA information
session, stakeholders will have an
opportunity to ask questions about the
presentations.
Additionally, this meeting will
include periods for public comment and
testimony during which OSHA is
interested in receiving feedback from
stakeholders on how OSHA can more
effectively serve the public through its
heat injury and illness prevention
activities. OSHA is requesting comment
from interested parties, including from
state and local governments, tribal
governments, non-governmental
organizations, labor unions, academia,
business and industry, tribal/indigenous
organizations, and community-based
organization stakeholders, as well as
individuals, including affected workers,
regarding these topics. Case studies, real
world examples, and any data to
support the comments are encouraged.
II. Meeting Format
The meeting will feature brief
presentations from OSHA on the topics
outlined in this notice, followed by
opportunities for stakeholders to ask
questions about the presentations. There
will also be public comment and
testimony periods during which OSHA
is interested in receiving feedback from
stakeholders. Participants should focus

on providing comment on the topics
provided in this notice. OSHA plans to
use this meeting to establish an open
dialogue with stakeholders, and
information presented to the agency
may be used to inform future activities
on preventing heat illness and injury in
indoor and outdoor workplaces. Written
comments may also be provided to
OSHA at the conclusion of the meeting,
or as a follow-up to the meeting. Those
who cannot attend the meeting and
those who are unable or choose not to
make verbal comments during the
meeting are also invited to submit their
comments in writing. The meeting will
take place virtually using Zoom and will
be available for concurrent viewing by
the public on the DOL YouTube
channel. The meeting will be broadcast
in English and Spanish and may be
archived for future viewing. More
information on registration is provided
above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure 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 can be properly
assessed.
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, the Black
Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C.
901, and the Energy Employees

Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA), 42
U.S.C. 7384. This information collection
is used by OWCP examiners to ascertain
the financial condition of the
beneficiary to determine if the
overpayment or any part can be
recovered; to identify the possible
concealment or improper transfer of
assets; and to identify and consider
present and potential income and
current assets for enforced collection
proceedings. The questionnaire
provides a means for the beneficiary to
explain why he/she is without fault in
an overpayment matter. If this
information were not collected BLBA,
EEOICPA and FECA would have little
basis to determine appropriate
collection proceedings. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through July 31, 2022.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
under the PRA approves it and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
In addition, notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, no person shall be
subject to penalty for failing to comply
with a collection of information that
does not display a valid Control
Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(b) and
1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final
ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Number 1240–0051.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• 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 submission of
responses.
