SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Occupational 

Requirements Survey (ORS). The ORS is 

a nationwide survey the BLS is 

conducting at the request of the Social 

Security Administration (SSA). The 

ORS began in 2018 and will end in mid2021. The currently approved portions 

of this data collection will continue as 

scheduled. This information collection 

has been classified as a revision, 

because of new cognitive questions and 

physical formatting changes to the 

collection form. The BLS Authorizing 

Statute and the Economy Act authorize 

this information collection. See 29 

U.S.C. 9, 9(a), and 31 U.S.C. 1535. 

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 1220–0189. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on 

August 31, 2018; however, the DOL 

notes that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

New requirements would only take 

effect upon OMB approval. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 27, 2017 (82 FR 61330). 

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 

1220–0189. 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.

Title of Collection: Occupational

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Definition and 

Requirements for a Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) 

information collection. A number of 

OSHA issued standards contain 

requirements that specify employers use 

only equipment, products, or material 

tested or approved by a NRTL. These 

requirements ensure that employers use 

safe and efficacious equipment, 

products, or materials in complying 

with the standards. Accordingly, the 

OSHA promulgated its Program 

Regulation for NRTLs, 29 CFR 1910.7, 

which specifies procedures an 

organization must follow to apply for 

and to maintain OSHA recognition to 

test and certify equipment, products, or 

material for safe use in the workplace. 

The OSHA has also developed 

standardized optional use forms to 

facilitate and simplify the information 

collection process. The forms 

correspond to the application, 

expansion, and renewal processes 

defined in the NRTL Program. This 

information collection has been 

classified as a revision, because the 

OSHA intends to change the NRTL 

Program’s fee schedule associated with 

initial recognition, program expansion, 

renewals of recognition, and on-site 

audits. To facilitate the payment of fees 

and reduce the burden on NRTLs, the 

OSHA is in the process of established an 

electronic payment mechanism on 

Pay.gov. A user would be required to 

complete a short payment form for each 

transaction on this site. The OSHA is 

also requesting an increase in costs 

associated with OSHA’s planned 

increase in filing and assessment fees. 

The fees charged by OSHA under the 

existing fee schedule have been far 

lower than the costs of performing the 

activities for which the OSHA charges 

fees. The OSHA is required to set fees 

at a level that cover its full costs in 

reviewing NRTL applications. See 29 

CFR 1910.7(f)(2). The proposed fee 

schedule will rectify this flaw and more 

accurately reflect the full cost of 

performing the activities for which 

OSHA charges fees. Occupational Safety 

and Health Act of 1970 sections 2(b)(3), 

(9), (12), and 8(c) and (g) authorize this 

information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 

651(b)(3), (9), (12); 657(c), (g). 

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 1218–0147. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on April 

30, 2020; however, the DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. New 

requirements would only take effect 

upon OMB approval. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on December 28, 2016 

(81 FR 95650). 

Interested parties are encouraged to
