DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Information Collection Activities; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of information collection; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 

program helps to ensure that 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 on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed reinstatement 

of the ‘‘Current Population Survey (CPS) 

Disability Supplement,’’ to be 

conducted in July 2019. A copy of the 

proposed information collection request 

(ICR) can be obtained by contacting the 

individual listed below in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice on or 

before February 25, 2019. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Carol 

Rowan, BLS Clearance Officer, Division 

of Management Systems, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2 

Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, 

DC 20212. Written comments may also 

be transmitted by fax to 202–691–5111 

(this is not a toll free number). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Carol Rowan, BLS Clearance Officer, 

202–691–7628 (this is not a toll free 

number). (See ADDRESSES section.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The July 2019 CPS Disability 

Supplement will be conducted at the 

request of the Department of Labor’s 

Chief Evaluation Office. The Disability 

Supplement will provide information 

on the low labor force participation 

rates for people with disabilities; the use 

of and satisfaction with programs that 

prepare people with disabilities for 

employment; the work history, barriers 

to employment, and workplace 

accommodations reported by persons 

with a disability; and the effect of 

financial assistance programs on the 

likelihood of working. Since the 

supplement was last collected in 2012, 

work patterns have changed, policies 

have changed, and assistive 

technologies have advanced. Having 

updated information will be valuable in 

determining how employment barriers 

have changed for people with 

disabilities. 

Because the Disability Supplement is 

part of the CPS, the same detailed 

demographic information collected in 

the CPS will be available about 

respondents to the supplement. Thus, 

comparisons will be possible across 

respondent characteristics, including 

sex, race, ethnicity, age, and educational 

attainment. It will also be possible to 

create estimates for those who are 

employed, unemployed, and not in the 

labor force. Because the CPS is a rich 

source of information on the 

employment status of the population, it 

will be possible to examine in detail the 

nature of various employment and 

unemployment situations. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the CPS 

Disability Supplement. These data are 

necessary to provide information about 

the labor market challenges facing 

persons with a disability and will 

contribute to improvements in policies 

and programs designed to assist these 

individuals. 

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. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• 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 submissions 

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that CurtisStraus LLC (CSL), is applying for 

expansion of recognition as a NRTL. 

CSL requests the addition of one test 

standard to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. 

OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies 

that the organization meets the 

requirements specified in 29 CFR 

1910.7. Recognition is an 

acknowledgment that the organization 

can perform independent safety testing 

and certification of the specific products 

covered within the scope of recognition. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition 

includes (1) the type of products the 

NRTL may test, with each type specified 

by the applicable test standard; and (2) 

the recognized site(s) that has/have the 

technical capability to perform the 

product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards 

within the NRTL’s scope. Recognition is 

not a delegation or grant of government 

authority; however, recognition enables 

employers to use products approved by 

the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require product testing and certification. 

The agency processes applications by 

a NRTL for initial recognition and for an 

expansion or renewal of this 

recognition, following requirements in 

Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This 

appendix requires that the agency 

publish two notices in the Federal 

Register in processing an application. In 

the first notice, OSHA announces the 

application and provides a preliminary 

finding. In the second notice, the agency 

provides the final decision on the 

application. These notices set forth the 

NRTL’s scope of recognition or 

modifications of that scope. OSHA 

maintains an informational web page for 

each NRTL, including CSL, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

CSL currently has one facility (site) 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification, with headquarters 

located at: Curtis-Straus LLC, One 

Distribution Circle, Suite #1, Littleton, 

MA 01460. A complete list of CSL’s 

scope of recognition is available at 

https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

csl.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

CSL submitted an application, dated 

January 2, 2018 (OSHA–2009–0026– 

0079), to expand recognition to include 

one additional test standard. OSHA staff
