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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authorization for 

the information collections required in 

the design of a cave-in protection 

system that are codified in regulations 

29 CFR part 1926, subpart P. Employers 

in the construction industry and OSHA 

compliance officers need this 

information to ensure cave-in protection 

systems are designed, installed, and 

used in a manner that adequately 

protects workers. More specifically, 

regulations 29 CFR 1926.652 paragraphs 

(b) and (c) contain paperwork 

requirements imposing burden hours or 

costs on employers. These paragraphs 

require subject employers to use 

protective systems to prevent cave-ins 

during excavation work; these systems 

include sloping the side of the trench, 

benching the soil away from the 

excavation, or using a support system or 

shield (such as a trench box). The 

Standard specifies allowable 

configurations and slopes for 

excavations, and it provides appendices 

to assist employers in designing 

protective systems. The regulations also 

provide options as to how the required 

records are developed. Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 sections 

2(b)(9), 6(b)(7), and 8(c) authorize this 

information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 

651(b)(9), 655(b)(7), 657(c). 

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 1218–0137. 

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 

December 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

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(Department), as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and

proposed and/or continuing collections 

of information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)] (PRA). The PRA 

helps ensure that respondents can 

provide requested data in the desired 

format with minimal reporting burden 

(time and financial resources), 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

Currently, ETA is soliciting comments 

concerning the collection of data for 

program performance reports, including 

a customer satisfaction survey, for the 

Senior Community Service Employment 

Program (SCSEP). The current 

expiration date for the Office of 

Management and Budget’s approval of 

these data collection forms is March 31, 

2015.

office listed in the addresses section 

below on or before January 5, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Originally authorized by the Older 

Americans Act of 1965, the Senior 

Community Service Employment 

Program (SCSEP) is funded for 

approximately $434 million for PY 2014 

and will provide over 44,000 positions 

in which nearly 69,000 low-income 

persons aged 55 or older will be placed 

in community service employment. 

A slight upward adjustment in burden 

hours is due to the recent awarding of 

14 new discretionary grants (of one year 

duration), for which we are collecting 

additional information. We are also 

including an estimated burden of 2 

hours per quarter, per grant, for the 

quarterly narrative report. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department is particularly 

interested in comments which: 

• 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 submissions 

of responses.

revisions.
