SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

General Provisions and Confined and 

Enclosed Spaces and Other Dangerous 

Atmospheres in Shipyard Employment 

Standards information collection 

requirements codified in regulations 29 

CFR part 1915. The Occupational Safety 

and Health Act (OSHAct) requires an 

employer who is subject to the 

Standards: (1) to ensure a competent 

person conducts inspections and 

atmospheric testing prior to a worker 

entering a confined or enclosed space 

(§ 1915.12(a)–(c)); (2) to warn workers 

not to enter a hazardous space or other 

dangerous atmosphere (§§ 1915.12 (a)– 

(c), 1915.16); (3) to train a worker who 

will be entering a confined or enclosed 

space and certify such training has been 

provided (§ 1915.12(d)); (4) to establish 

and train shipyard rescue teams or 

arrange for outside rescue teams and 

provide them with information 

(§ 1915.12(e)); (5) to ensure one person 

on each rescue team maintains a current 

first aid training certificate 

(§ 1915.12(e)); (6) to exchange 

information regarding hazards, safety 

rules, and emergency procedures 

concerning these spaces and 

atmospheres with other employers 

whose workers may enter these spaces 

and atmospheres (§ 1915.12(f)); (7) to 

ensure testing of a space having 

contained a combustible or flammable 

liquid or gas or toxic, corrosive, or 

irritating substance, or other dangerous 

atmosphere, boundary or pipeline 

before cleaning or other cold work is 

started and, as necessary thereafter, 

while the operation is ongoing 

(§ 1915.13(b)(2) and (4)); (8) to post 

signs prohibiting ignition sources 

within or near a space that contains 

bulk quantities of a flammable or 

combustible liquid or gas 

(§ 1915.13(b)(10)); (9) to ensure a 

confined or enclosed space is tested 

before a worker performs hot work in 

the work area (§ 1915.14(a)); (10) to post 

warnings of testing conducted by a 

competent person and certificates of 

testing conducted by a Marine Chemist 

or Coast Guard authorized person in the 

immediate vicinity of the hot-work 

operation while the operation is in 

progress (§ 1915.14(a) and (b)); and (11) 

to retain the certificate of testing on file 

for at least three months after 

completing the operation 

(§ 1915.14(a)(2)). OSHAct sections 2(b), 

6, and 8 authorize this information 

collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b), 655, & 

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 1218–0011. 

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 

January 31, 2015. 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 

October 22, 2014 (79 FR 63171). 

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 thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 17 / Tuesday, January 27, 2015 / Notices 4319 

1218–0011. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Overview: The growth in scale, 

diversity, and complexity of data has 

increased the demand for understanding 

large amounts of heterogeneous data. 

This presents new challenges to the way 

data and information are used and 

managed. A need exists to understand 

ways to design systems for processing 

big data, develop sophisticated analytics 

using large-scale data, consider privacy 

issues arising from use of this massive 

data, and determine ways to teach big 

data analytics across disciplines. This 

workshop will bring together academic 

and industry leaders across disciplines 

to further inform the development of an 

effective Federal Big Data Research 

Agenda. 

Background: Given the large number 

of overlapping data challenges many 

federal agencies are facing, a National 

Big Data R&D Initiative was launched in 

March 2012. As part of this Initiative, a 

Federal Big Data Research Agenda is 

under development. This workshop is 

part of the process to collect input from 

those in academia and industry that are 

working on big data research and new 

technologies. 

The purpose of drafting a Federal Big 

Data Research Agenda is to assist 

Federal Agencies in planning their 

individual Big Data R&D programs and 

initiatives. The Agenda is expected to be 

released in late 2015.

Foundation for the National Coordination 

Office (NCO) for Networking and Information
