**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

**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;


### 844 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2014 / Notices

• 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.
