Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the OSHA Grantee 

Quarterly Progress Report. The OSHA 

uses the Grantee Quarterly Progress 

Report, Form OSHA–171, to collect 

information concerning activities 

conducted during the quarter by 

grantees under OSHA’s Susan Harwood 

training grants. This information is used 

to monitor progress to determine 

whether the organization is using 

Federal grant funds as specified in its 

grant application. This information 

collection has been classified as a 

revision, because the Agency proposes 

to reformat the form and to collect 

information on the total number of 

training hours provided by a grantee. 

The Occupational Safety and Health Act 

authorizes this information collection. 

See 29 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 1218–0100. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on May 

31, 2014; 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 January 9, 2014 (79 

FR 1658). 

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 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– 

0100. 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.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Portable Fire Extinguishers Standard 

information collection codified in 

regulations 29 CFR 1910.157(e)(3). The 

Standard requires an Occupational 

Safety and Health Act (OSHAct) covered 

employer to subject each portable fire 

extinguisher to an annual maintenance 

inspection and to record the date of the 

inspection. The regulation requires the 

employer to retain the inspection record 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

29208 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 98 / Wednesday, May 21, 2014 / Notices 

for one year after the last entry or for the 

life of the shell, whichever is less, and 

to make the record available to the 

OSHA, on request. This recordkeeping 

requirement assures employees and 

OSHA compliance officers that any 

portable fire extinguisher located in the 

workplace will operate normally in case 

of fire; in addition, this requirement 

provides evidence to an OSHA 

compliance officer during an inspection 

that the employer performed the 

required maintenance checks on the 

portable fire extinguishers. The OSHAct 

authorizes this information collection. 

See 29 U.S.C. 651, 657. 

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 1218–0238. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

May 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to extend 

PRA authorization for this information 

collection for three (3) more years, 

without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 10, 2013 (78 FR 74167). 

Interested parties are encouraged to
