SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651, 

656) established NACOSH to advise, 

consult with, and make 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Labor and the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) on matters 

relating to the administration of the 

OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing 

advisory committee of indefinite 

duration. 

NACOSH operates in accordance with 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2), its 

implementing regulations (41 CFR part 

102–3), and OSHA’s regulations on 

advisory committees and NACOSH (29 

CFR parts 1912 and 1912a). 

NACOSH is comprised of 12 

members: four public representatives, 

two management representatives, two 

labor representatives, two occupational 

safety professional representatives, and 

two occupational health professional 

representatives (29 CFR 1912a.2). The 

Secretary of Labor appoints all of these 

members. However, the Secretary of 

HHS designates four of the 

representatives: two of the four public 

representatives and the two 

occupational health professional 

representatives. NACOSH members 

serve staggered two-year terms, unless 

the member becomes unable to serve, 

resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve, 

or is removed by the Secretary. 

On July 31, 2023, OSHA published a 

request for nominations for two HHS 

designated NACOSH positions that 

would expire on November 15, 2023 (88 

FR 49504). Specifically, OSHA 

requested nominations for: 

• One (1) public representative 

(HHS); and 

• One (1) occupational health 

professional representative (HHS).

safety and health (29 CFR 1912a.2). The 

NACOSH members that the Acting 

Secretary appointed on November 1,

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Veterans’ Employment and Training 

Service 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Comment Request: 

Employment Navigator Data Collection 

and Matching 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor’s 

(DOL) Veterans’ Employment and 

Training Service (VETS) is soliciting 

comments concerning a proposed 

authority to conduct the information 

collection request (ICR) titled, 

‘‘Employment Navigator Data Collection 

and Matching.’’ This comment request 

is part of continuing Departmental 

efforts to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA). 

DATES: Comments must be submitted by 

January 2, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with 

applicable supporting documentation, 

including a description of the likely 

respondents, proposed frequency of 

response, and estimated total burden, 

may be obtained at no cost by contacting 

Serge King by telephone at 202.693.2982 

(this is not a toll-free number), or by 

email at DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov. 

Submit written comments about, or 

requests for a copy of, this ICR by mail 

or courier to the U.S. Department of 

Labor, Veterans’ Employment and 

Training Service, Transition Assistance

Room S1212, Washington DC 20210; or

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Serge King by telephone at 202.693.2982 

(this is not a toll-free number) or by 

email at DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as 

part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

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 can be properly assessed. 

DOL seeks approval of a new 

information collection request (ICR) 

titled ‘‘Employment Navigator Data 

Collection and Matching’’. This request 

is for a ‘‘common forms’’ clearance 

process. There are three forms included 

in this ICR. The first form is a data 

collection mechanism for transitioning 

service members to provide general 

characteristics and background 

information as services are received 

from Employment Navigators. The 

second form includes additional data 

that is captured from government and 

non-government partners who will 

provide the service member, veteran, or 

spouse addition job seeker assistance 

after Employment Navigator data entry 

is complete. This form also includes any 

employment-related outcomes (e.g. job 

placement, job retention, and hourly 

wages earned) for each participant. The 

last form is a registration and validation 

form that all necessary partner entities 

must complete in order to be considered 

for partner status. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) 

authorizes this information collection. 

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 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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB 1205–0NEW. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. DOL encourages commenters 

not to include personally identifiable 

information, confidential business data, 

or other sensitive statements/ 

information in any comments. 

DOL 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). 

Agency: DOL–VETS. 

Type of Review: NEW. 

Title of Collection: Employment 

Navigator Data Collection and Matching. 

Forms: Employment Navigator Intake 

(VETS–NEW1); Employment Navigator 

Partner Intake (VETS–NEW2); 

Employment Navigator Partner 

Validation Input (VETS–NEW3).
