SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Government provides States 

with funding to offer financial 

assistance to low-income families to pay 

for childcare. This funding is provided 

through the Child Care and 

Development Fund (CCDF) childcare 

subsidy program. Subsidy payment rates 

are determined by States, but payment 

rates are required to be informed by 

childcare market prices. States are 

encouraged, but not required, to set 

payment rates at the 75th percentile of 

the market price. To obtain market 

prices, States are required to conduct a 

Market Rate Survey (MRS) no more than 

two years prior to the submission of 

States’ Child Care and Development 

Fund (CCDF) Plan. The CCDF Plan 

serves as the mandatory State 

application to receive Child Care and 

Development Block Grant (CCDBG) 

funds. This reinstatement of the 

National Database of Childcare Prices 

fills an important gap in data and was 

first approved for collection by the 

Office of Management and Budget in 

August 2019 and made available to the 

public in September 2022. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 6, 2023 (88 FR 43144). 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Applications for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that FM 

Approvals LLC (FM) is applying for an 

expansion of current recognition as a 

NRTL. FM requests the addition of 

fourteen test standards 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 FM, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

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