Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 109 / Monday, June 9, 2025 / Notices
extension of the Multiple Worksite
Report and the Report of Federal
Employment and Wages.
The BLS has taken steps to help
reduce employer reporting burden by
developing a standardized format for
employers to use to send these data to
the States in an electronic medium. The
BLS established an Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) Collection Center to
improve and expedite the MWR
collection process. Employers who
complete the MWR for multi-location
businesses can submit employment and
wages information on any electronic
medium directly to the data collection
center, rather than separately to each
State agency. The data collection center
then distributes the appropriate data to
the respective States. In addition, the

BLS developed a web-based system,
MWRweb, to collect these data from
small to medium-size businesses. The
BLS continues to see much greater
utilization of this reporting option.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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.

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, the collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (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

E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM

09JNN1

24298

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 109 / Monday, June 9, 2025 / Notices

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 effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The collections of information
specified in the Noise Standard (29 CFR
1910.95) protect workers from suffering
material hearing impairment. The
collections of information contained in
the Noise Standard include conducting
noise monitoring; notifying workers
when they are exposed at or above an
8-hour time-weighted average of 85
decibels; providing workers with initial
and annual audiograms; notifying
workers of a loss in hearing based on
comparing audiograms; maintaining
records of workplace noise exposure
and workers’ audiograms; and allowing
workers access to materials and records
required by the Standard.

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 to protect workers,
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, and
transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in
Occupational Exposure to Noise
Standard. The agency is requesting an
adjustment increase in burden hours
from 2,368,281 hours to 2,443,146
hours, a difference of 74,865 hours. The
adjustment increase in the burden hours
is due to an increase in the number of
establishments going from 283,524 to
285,510 and the increase in the number
of employees exposed above 85 dBA
going from 3,802,698 to 3,935,792.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND
BUDGET
Rescissions Proposals Pursuant to the
Congressional Budget and
Impoundment Control Act of 1974
Executive Office of the
President, Office of Management and
Budget.
ACTION: Notice of rescissions proposed
pursuant to the Congressional Budget
and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
AGENCY:

Pursuant to section 1014(d) of
the Congressional Budget and
Impoundment Control Act of 1974,
enclosed for publication in the Federal
Register is a special message from the
President reflecting the proposals for
rescission under section 1012 of that
Act that were transmitted to the
Congress for consideration on June 3,
2025. In total, these proposals would
rescind $9.4 billion in budget authority.
These proposed rescissions affect
programs of the Department of State, as
well as the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting (CPB), the U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID), the
U.S. Institute of Peace, and other
International Assistance Programs. If
enacted, these rescissions would
decrease Federal outlays in the affected
accounts by the same amount; this
would have a commensurate effect on
the Federal budget deficit and the
national economy, and would result in
less borrowing from the Federal
Treasury.
DATES: Release Date: June 3, 2025.
ADDRESSES: The rescissions proposal
package is available on-line on the OMB
home page at: https://
