• One representative designated by 

the Secretary of the Department of 

Health and Human Services and

The Department of Labor is

nominate one or more individuals for 

membership on ACCSH. Interested 

persons also are invited and encouraged

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 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 9, 2020 / Notices 79223 

and costs) is minimal, 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 

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 efforts in obtaining 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

In 2016, OSHA established the Safe + 

Sound Campaign, a voluntary effort to 

support the implementation of safety 

and health programs in businesses 

throughout the United States. Outside 

stakeholders, including safety and 

health professional organizations, trade 

and industry associations, academic 

institutions, and state and federal 

government agencies, collaborate with 

the agency on the Campaign. The 

Campaign includes periodic activities 

and events, ranging from regular email 

updates to quarterly national webinars 

to local meetings to an annual national 

stand down (i.e., Safe + Sound Week), 

designed to increase overall employer 

and employee awareness and 

understanding of safety and health 

programs and promote employer 

adoption of these programs. OSHA 

believes widespread implementation of 

such programs will substantially 

improve overall workplace safety and 

health conditions. 

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, 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 collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

The Agency is requesting an 

adjustment increase of 91 in burden 

hours (from 754 hours to 845 hours) 

resulting from an increase in the 

number of respondents due to an 

increase of participants and the addition 

of the focus group interviews. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Safe + Sound Campaign. 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0269. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 11,585. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

Average Time per Response: Time 

varies per response. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 845. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $25,209.88.
