SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The State 

Quality Service Plan (SQSP) represents 

an approach to the unemployment 

insurance (UI) performance 

management and planning process that 

allows for an exchange of information 

between the federal and state partners to 

enhance the ability of the program to 

reflect their joint commitment to 

performance excellence and clientcentered services. As part of UI 

Performs, a comprehensive performance 

management system for the UI program, 

the SQSP is the principal vehicle that 

the state UI programs use to plan, record 

and manage improvement efforts. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 29, 2020 (85 FR 23865). 

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 the OMB 

approves it 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 OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. 

Agency: DOL–ETA.

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.’’ A copy of the 

proposed information collection request 

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 March 16, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Erin 

Good, BLS Clearance Officer, Division 

of Management Systems, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2 

Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, 

DC 20212. Written comments also may 

be transmitted by email to BLS_PRA_

(See ADDRESSES section.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The July 2021 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 2019, 

work patterns have changed, policies 

have changed, and assistive 

technologies have advanced due to the 

coronavirus (COVID–19) pandemic. 

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. 

4130 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2021 / Notices 

• 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. 

Title of Collection: CPS Disability 

Supplement. 

OMB Number: 1220–0186. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement 

without change of a previously 

approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Total Respondents: 55,000. 

Frequency: Once. 

Total Responses: 106,000.

Research Laboratories of South Florida, 

LLC as a Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on 

January 15, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition 

for Applied Research Laboratories of 

South Florida LLC (ARL). ARL’s 

expansion cover the addition of two test 

standards to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. 

OSHA’s 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 ARL, 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. 

ARL currently has one facility (site) 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification, with headquarters 

located at: Applied Research 

Laboratories of South Florida LLC, 5371 

NW 161st Street, Miami, Florida 33014. 

A complete list of ARL’s scope of 

recognition is available at https://

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/arl.html. 

ARL submitted an application, dated 

June 13, 2019 (OSHA–2007–0083– 

0055), to expand recognition to include 

two additional test standards. OSHA 

staff performed a detailed analysis of the 

application packet and reviewed other 

pertinent information. OSHA did not 

perform any on-site reviews in relation 

to this application. OSHA published the 

preliminary notice announcing ARL’s 

expansion application in the Federal 

Register on September 22, 2020 (85 FR 

59554). The agency requested comments 

by October 7, 2020, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA is now proceeding with this final 

notice to grant expansion of ARL’s 

scope of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to ARL’s 

application, go to www.regulations.gov 

or contact the Docket Office, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration at 202–693–2350. 

Docket No. OSHA–2007–0083 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

ARL’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined ARL’s 

expansion application, the capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 

standards, and other pertinent 

information. Based on a review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that ARL meets 

the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of the scope of recognition, 

subject to the conditions listed below. 

OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with 

this final notice to grant the expansion 

of ARL’s scope of recognition. OSHA 

limits the expansion of ARL’s scope of 

recognition to testing and certification 

of products for demonstration of 

conformance to the test standards listed 

below in Table 1. 

TABLE 1—LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST

STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN

ARL’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

ANSI/UL 399 Standard for Drinking-Water 

Coolers. 

ANSI/UL 471 Standard for Commercial Refrigerators and Freezers. 

OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for 

a particular test standard is limited to 

equipment or materials for which OSHA 

standards require third-party testing and 

certification before using them in the
