Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Requirements for the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration Training Institute Education Centers Program and the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration Outreach Training Program
information collection. The OSHA has two educational programs, the OSHA
Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers Program and the OSHA
Outreach Training Program (Outreach). To be a participant in the OTI
Education Centers Program or the Outreach Training Program, an
individual/organization must provide the OSHA with certain information.
The requested information is necessary to evaluate the applicant
organization and to implement, oversee, and monitor the OTI Education
Centers and Outreach Training Programs, courses, and trainers. This
information collection has been classified as a revision, because the
OSHA is adding a form that will require OTI education centers to
provide a listing of all authorized Outreach trainers to the National
Office. Occupational Safety and Health Act section 21 authorizes this
information collection. See U.S.C. 670.
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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall generally 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(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection
under Control Number 1218-0262. The current approval is scheduled to
expire July 31, 2017; however, the DOL notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about
this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on
April 25, 2017 (82 FR 19089).
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB,
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1218-0262.
The OMB 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.
Agency: DOL-OSHA.
