SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the public with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and continuing information collection 

requirements in accord with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and costs) is minimal, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et 

seq.) authorizes information collection 

by employers as necessary or 

appropriate for enforcement of the OSH 

Act or for developing information 

regarding the causes and prevention of 

occupational injuries, illnesses, and 

accidents (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH 

Act also requires that OSHA obtain such 

information with minimum burden 

upon employers, especially those 

operating small businesses, and to 

reduce to the maximum extent feasible 

unnecessary duplication of efforts in 

obtaining said information (29 U.S.C. 

657). 

OSHA created the Alliance Program 

in 2002 as a structure for working with 

groups that are committed to worker 

safety and health. The program enables 

OSHA to enter into a voluntary, 

cooperative relationship at the national, 

regional, or area office level with 

industry, labor, and other groups to 

improve workplace safety and health; 

prevent workplace fatalities, injuries, 

and illnesses; and reach employers and 

workers that OSHA may not otherwise 

reach through its traditional methods. 

These groups include trade or 

professional organizations, businesses, 

unions, consulates, faith- and 

community-based organizations, and 

educational institutions. OSHA and the 

groups work together to share workplace 

safety and health information with 

workers and employers, encourage 

participation in OSHA initiatives, 

develop compliance assistance tools and 

resources, and educate workers and 

employers about their rights and 

responsibilities. Alliance Program 

participants do not receive exemptions 

from OSHA inspections or any other 

enforcement benefits. 

OSHA collects information from 

organizations that are signatories to an 

Alliance agreement, known hereafter as 

‘‘alliance participants.’’ Information is 

collected from the participants through 

meetings, informal conversations, and 

data forms to develop Alliance 

agreements, and to develop annual as 

well as program-wide reports. 

Alliance participants work with 

OSHA to develop agreements with welldefined goals and specific objectives 

and activities. Agreements commonly 

identify specific hazard(s), operations, 

or other areas of concern; the targeted 

segment within the workforce; and the 

planned activities to meet the 

agreement’s overarching goals and 

objectives. OSHA provides templates for 

Alliance agreements OSHA uses the 

information from the forms (national 

Alliance) and collaborative data 

gathering (Regional and Area Offices) to 

compile annual reports for individual 

Alliances and assess the effectiveness of 

the individual Alliance in meeting 

agreement goals and objectives. OSHA 

uses aggregate data from all active 

Alliances to assess the impact of the 

program as a whole in meeting the 

Agency’s strategic plan goals and 

strategies related to outreach and 

communication. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

Agency’s functions, including whether 

the information is useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 120 / Thursday, June 21, 2018 / Notices 28869 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

This is an existing collection of 

information in use without an OMB 

number. The proposed ICR includes 

collection of information requirements 

for: (1) Alliance agreement 

development, (2) the biannual Alliance 

Data Reporting Form, and (3) annual 

reports. The burden hours for the 

information collection requirements 

contained in the proposed ICR would 

result in a total initial burden hour 

estimate of 2,210 hours. 

The Agency will summarize the 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice and will include this summary in 

the request to OMB to approve these 

information collection requirements, 

and the associated templates and forms. 

Type of Review: Existing collection in 

use without an OMB control number.
