SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act 

(OSH Act) Variance Regulations 

information collection. The OSH Act 

allows a covered employer to apply for 

four (4) different types of variances from 

the requirements of OSH Act standards. 

An employer submits a variance 

application that specifies an alternative 

means of complying with the 

requirements of applicable standards to 

the Agency. The OSHA has developed 

an information collection for four 

different optional-use forms (Forms 

OSHA–5–30–1, OSHA–5–30–2, OSHA– 

5–30–3, and OSHA–5–30–4) that an 

employer might use as a template in 

applying for a variance. While use of the 

forms is optional, employers are 

required to submit an application that 

includes all elements specified in 

regulations 29 CFR part 1905 in order to 

receive consideration for a variance. 

OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, 8(c) and 16 

authorize this information collection. 

See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, 657(c), and 

665. 

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 1218–0265. 

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 

March 30, 2018 (83 FR 13790). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1218–0265. 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.
