SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating 

Work Platforms Standard information 

collection. This collection requires an 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSHA Act) covered employer, 

subject to the Standard, to obtain a 

written certification of any field 

modification made to aerial lifts. Such 

a certification must be prepared in 

writing either by the manufacturer of 

the aerial lift or by a nationally 

recognized laboratory. This certification 

is to attest to the safety of the lift after 

modifications. OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 

6, and 8(c) authorize this information 

collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, 

and 657(c). 

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 1218–0230.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Request for Feedback on the 

Interagency Arctic Research Policy 

Committee’s Draft Principles for 

Conducting Research in the Arctic 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

ACTION: Request for public comment on 

Principles for Conducting Research in 

the Arctic. 

SUMMARY: The Interagency Arctic 

Research Policy Committee (IARPC), 

chaired by the National Science 

Foundation, is seeking comment from 

the public on newly revised Principles 

for Conducting Research in the Arctic. 

Researchers working in the Arctic 

have a responsibility to conduct ethical 

research, to respect Arctic residents and 

cultures, and to advance stewardship of 

the Arctic environment. The revised 

document updates the Principles for the 

Conduct of Research in the Arctic (1990) 

and renames them Principles for 

Conducting Research in the Arctic, 

hereafter the Principles, to reflect 

current research disciplines and 

approaches in the Arctic. The draft 

revised Principles have been revised to 

provide guidelines for the equitable 

conduct of research, to better align with 

U.S. Arctic policy, to include changes in 

research methodologies, and to ensure 

the Principles are more effective and 

widely applied. 

A U.S. IARPC Principles Revision 

Working Group prepared these draft 

revised Principles after conducting a 

comprehensive literature review and 

seeking and receiving diverse input 

from Alaska Natives, Federal and State 

and local agency representatives, and 

researchers by a variety of methods, 

including listening sessions at scientific 

conferences, through a Federal Register 

notice, and targeted interviews with 

Alaska residents and researchers. The 

Working Group seeks public comment 

on the draft revised Principles, which 

will be finalized after approval of the 

IARPC agencies. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted no later than September 4, 

2018. 

ADDRESSES: Email comments to 

iarpcprinciples@nsf.gov.
