the BLM will publish the EOI submitter

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 28, 2013, the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) issued Instruction 

Memorandum No. 2014–004 to update 

the policy regarding its handling of 

EOIs. EOIs are informal nominations by 

the public that identify lands the BLM 

should consider for inclusion in future 

Oil and Gas Competitive Lease Sales. 

Under the updated policy, for any EOIs 

submitted on or after January 1, 2014, 

the BLM will no longer hold submitter 

names and addresses as confidential 

until two days after an Oil and Gas 

Competitive Lease Sale as it has done 

previously, but rather the BLM will 

publish the EOI submitter names and 

addresses, if provided, on the BLM state 

office Web sites before the lease sale. 

This approach will give an EOI 

submitter the option to submit an EOI 

anonymously without the submitter’s 

name included or to submit an EOI with 

the submitter’s name included to allow 

the BLM to publish that information on 

the appropriate BLM state office Web 

site. The BLM will publish all EOIs 

received after January 1, 2014, including 

the submitter’s name. 

For more information regarding this 

updated policy, see BLM, WO IM No. 

2014–004 located at http://

www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/regulations/

Instruction_Memos_and_Bulletins/

national_instruction/2014/im_2014_

004_oil_and.html. 

For any EOIs submitted before 

January 1, 2014, the BLM will determine 

whether to release the submitter’s name 

in response to any Freedom of 

Information Act request on a case-bycase basis.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ICR 

seeks to maintain PRA authority for the 

information collection requirements 

specified in regulations 29 CFR 

1926.453, the Aerial Lifts Standard in 

Construction. The standard requires a 

covered employer that has modified an 

aerial lift to have the manufacturer or 

equally qualified entity assess and 

certify the modified aerial lift is safe for 

use by or near workers and that it 

provides workers with a level of 

protection at least equivalent to the 

protection afforded by the lift prior to 

modification. The Occupational Safety 

and Health Act authorizes the 

information collection provisions. See 

29 U.S.C. 651, 655, and 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 1218–0216. 

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, 2013. 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 30, 2013 (78 FR 64982). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section by January 30, 2014. In order to 

help ensure appropriate consideration, 

comments should mention OMB Control 

Number 1218–0216. 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.

Application for Permanent Variance 

and Interim Order; Grant of Interim 

Order; Request for Comments 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of application for a 

permanent variance and interim order; 

grant of interim order; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

application of Tully/OHL USA Joint 

Venture (‘‘Tully’’ or ‘‘the applicant’’) for 

a permanent variance from the 

provisions of the Occupational Safety 

and Health Administration (‘‘OSHA’’ or 

‘‘the Agency’’) construction standard 

that regulate work in compressed air. In 

addition, the applicant requested an 

interim order based on the alternate 

conditions specified by its variance 

application. Based on its review of the 

application, including the alternate 

conditions, OSHA concludes that an 

interim order will provide Tully’s 

employees with the requisite protection 

while OSHA considers Tully’s 

application for a permanent variance. 

Therefore, OSHA is granting an interim 

order to the applicant subject to the 

conditions described in this notice. 

OSHA also invites the public to submit 

comments on the variance application. 

DATES: Submit comments, information, 

documents in response to this notice, 

and requests for a hearing on or before 

February 6, 2014. The interim order
